I'd like feedback on

basically anything related to the game. was the game too hard? too easy? confusing? i know the art is special too so if you want to comment on that i can too (however remember that a lot of the art related stuff had to be rushed becauss of low time)

I need help on

well i need to make the items stay in inventory when changing layouts i honestly am not sure how to do it but i have some tiny idea on how to make that on constructed 2 but still if anyone has help please tell me (my whole inventory system is self made and i dont use arrays so yeah lol)

Hey there Nadia,

I only have a few major issues with the game:

random awkward collision
wall jump not working in the cave (that stopped me from progressing)

now what I do like are the imaginative tone, lovely art and great direction. I really hope you get the energy to continue with this one, I think it shows some great narrative promise.

Keep up the great work,

Atomic Brainbag

ahh.. the wall jumping is indeed working however i now have heard that its just extremely difficult to do.. the problem is that i guess the timing is too precise and thats why ppl have problems to go through? it is possible as i did pass the game but i guess it doesnt count since i made the game and exactly how the game works.

maybe try again if you still want to the game has lot to offer after that part. and like you have to press the arrow key away from the wall (not up/jump key) to walljump. i tried to add info about this on the game info page. im going to make an update in the future and obviously make it easier to work.

thank you so much for your input!

I actually really liked the background art, and made the game feel very detailed and lively regardless if it was completed or not. I actually got stuck after my plantbud gf was kidnapped by the giant bird? I talked to most of the npcs but was completely lost after that. I think a simple prompt telling me what to do might help? That might be intrusive game design wise but easier than like visual ques or something.

if you talk to your mom she gives a hint also run to very left of map there is a merchant with a cart telling you only thing leaving the city is the cart and you can then hide in the cart by pressing z while overlapping the cart. i should write a walktrough heh
