• Rotten has a gorgeous consistent art style - the main character has a great little animation loop and really memorable design. The cute aesthetic is supported well by the music, which is catchy and light. All the environments, from the bedroom to the market, are fleshed out and feel very complete. You've really thought about your target audience well, this would be a perfect game for kids in schools to play to learn about sustainable living. All the characters you meet are quirky and have great fun designs, and this strange vegetable world feels very alive, however I did have some issues navigating some of the rooms, and was initially stuck in the first room trying to press E on the cabinet since the prompt was there, instead of the far right wall. The recycling sorting mini-game was great, but the match-3 game feel very disconnected from the rest of the game. It felt tacked-on to the rest of this well crafted game you've made, especially since so much effort was put into the intro, exploration, and recycling game. Given more time I would have liked to see a more original mini-game than a match-3 game, but I'm incredibly impressed by how much you got completed in such a short time!
