Cute atmosphere (both in art, music and story), outstandingly easy-to-learn and relaxing gameplay.
The story beginning, art and feel kinda reminded me of the last year winner, Memories. Also instantly had a cozy feeling : the enjoyment of messing around and really taking time for me through a game.

Really wonderful, I will come back later with more time to finish it (a possibility to save will be appreciated in a later version).

Oh and a last thing : the fishing notes on the desk with all the catches and the drawings really showed me how much investment you have put in this game. The details are nice (the weather, the changing lighting depending on clouds, the waves animations), and the quality is pretty much consistant.

Well done !

I am somehow both regretful and relieved that I didn't play Memories before working on Puddlehooves, because my initial idea (that had to be scrapped for time) included more story and flashbacks to times you and Granddad had spent together. That, and the ability to save. I aimed a little higher in planning than my fledgling skills allowed. I do plan to expand post-jam and add in the things that I had to skip for time!

I'm very glad you enjoyed the fishing journal! That was a lot of drawing time and I was terrified that my decision to not include a tutorial and instead drop hints via the mail would mean that people would miss it entirely. 

Thank you so much for your thorough and kind comment, I really appreciate it!
