Looks like I should have made more edits to the friend's design. She's supposed be a short haired girl. I had a hard time finding CC pixelart characters that fit the design of the room, so I ended up deciding to edit out the shoulder pads and slightly lengthened the hair of the hero character from the same group as the main girl, since the hero's big blue eyes almost looked feminine as was. I debated adding a bright pink hairclip and probably will when the jam is over.
Glad you enjoyed the game.
