This is an excellent idea. It plays nicely, the sound effects are on point and the visual feedback is good. An overall very polished little game.
That said, I'm not 100% certain it fits the theme of folklore!
Thanks a lot, I agree the folkloric link is weak but as I mentioned in the description I was a little overwhelmed by the theme in terms of potential ideas and I knew proverbs were part of folklore so I ran with it.
