Cool game! I love the 1 bit aesthetic, it is one of my favorites and you pulled it off really well! The world had a lot of atmosphere, the environments were really well crafted. I really liked how the world changed colors after a certain point, that was cool. I'm not sure how this fits the theme though? Also it looked a bit awkward when the player's background clipped in from of background elements, but that could just be a limitation of bitsy, idk

Yo thank you so much! Also yeah limitations of bitsy make the environment clip sadly. As for the topic, it's something I wanted to hit on harder but (the HdBitsy hack had so many issues) so I had to keep simplifying. It's a story about the failure of a park ranger protecting his forest and self, but progressing through and saving a life still. (Also again thank you, I don't really do pixel art and I worked so hard to make this world have a good atmosphere.)
Thank you!! Yeah this game and my first ever jam (in the OG 8bit Bitsy a year ago) are my first times doing pixel art, I'm an illustrator outside of game dev, but I never thought the skill would transfer as well as it did from using a mouse (pixels) vs a pen (inking). Yeah he saves the cat, maybe I didn't make that super clear, in the ending dialogue.
