I like the art style and music how it matches it. Has potential to be expanded and put on Steam!

What I liked
- I loved the art style. It's simple, playful, and clean.
- The music meshes well with the art. Its consistent with that playful look.
- The game doesn't need a tutorial to communicate your objective and how to play. It's pretty intuitive with an exception.
- The theme is clearly implemented without having to look at the description.
Suggestions/Feedback
- In regards to the art, I mentioned everything looks clean. I forgot about the fire pit. It looked a little fuzzy compared to everything else. I also feel conflicted about the grid outline for tiles. I like it, but I'm also curious about what it would look like without the grid line.
- Someone already mentioned it, but there was a lot of empty space. So either smaller levels or more set pieces would make it better.
Overall, I think my criticisms can be chalked up to the nature of game jams. Its a fun jam game that has personality. Congrats on the cool game!

Shred QuestHonestly, the gameplay is very repetitive and simple, but I still finished the game because the art is so cute, it was fun just moving the character around, good job!

Agent BeatI saw the game on stream yesterday but decided to play anyway, very nice, the animations on the main character are kind of cute and the ending is wholesome. Good work you two! :D

Skin That Smoke Wagon!Fun, super easy to get into, a really good jam entry. I could honestly just watch the player character walk on a loop, just so bouncy and squishy. Awesome job.

Pooka Needs SoulsFun game with nice art. I really like the areas with different scenery and objects. Picking up and throwing items feels good too.
One suggestion I would have is to make the levels a little smaller with less empty space so the player has to run less.

Crystal LocksI'm sorry. I was looking forward to playing your game but I couldn't open the application. I have a computer that runs windows, so did you publish the game with Linux or Mac as the main. My computer says that "Windows Protected your PC." I wish I could have played your game. I hope to see you in the next one though. (and actually get to play it)

Cue-b CompanionIt's on my list too. I was planning on doing it but the deadline was 30 minutes away so I just gave up and went for this.
The issue about window's security alert apparently is just a false alarm and you are just supposed to disregard it. I'm sorry for freaking you out. Your game was the first I'd seen with that problem but I have now seen a few. Once again, sorry if I worried you. I hope you have a good week
