Very interesting direction you went with this! I got a chance to play the original route-based gameplay in a previous jam so I was a bit skeptical when I saw it was more of a turn-based strategy game now. But you pulled it off well and the game still holds onto it's great cozy-vibes well. The addition of the star system/optional challenges helps make each level a lot more interesting too. I like the addition of trying to have the hedgehogs talk to each other too. The sort of level map is a nice touch as well.

Thank you for your kind words! Changing the mode to turn-based wasn’t easy, but we believe it will benefit the game in the long run. In a turn-based mode, it is easier to experiment with different actions and new characters with their specific movement patterns and/or actions, which is something we are working on now.
