This game is really nice and atmospheric! The cute sprites, the calm birds chirping in the background, the leaves slowly floating through the air and the random animals you come accross. It looks and sounds amazing! I had a lot of fun just walking around and seeing what I would come accross :D
I tried to fight as well, but I must say it was very difficuly for me, haha. The lowest level creature I found was a level 2 piglet, but even that was too hard for me. I had to get really close in order to do damage with my sword, but then I was in range of the creature as well. I guess I am just bad at this >_< Maybe a bit of knockback on the attacks would make it feel a bit better?
I would also add some clear direction for the player at the very beginning. Just to push them in the right direction and let them know what they are supposed to be doing. Right now I just started walking randomly, and started hitting people with my sword (I found out later I could use E to interact). It was also not very clear to me how I could get the stuff that I was tasked to find. I killed a piglet in the end, but that did not give me anything :/
Criticism aside, I really like the game, even though I was not able to fight much. Just walking around and enjoying the atmosphere was already a lot of fun! Amazing submission for the jam! Thanks a lot for making this and good luck with the rest of the development :D
