Heyy! Starting-late buddies! :D I also only started two days ago - and what with working two jobs and having two (very) demanding parrots, I only get 2-3 hours of 'dev' time a day. :') But it'll be fun to give it a go anyway, for sure!!
I really must second everyone else on the art-style - it's great! Love the nostalgic feel.
Good luck, and I'll definitely be giving yours a play down the line. :D
