The idea is already pretty great, but the cutscenes make it even better. Want me to form an immediate emotional connection to a pixel crab? Have him be sad and pick up a plant. I will protect this crab with my life.
The music and art are both charming; special mention to the health bar! Both cute as heck and intuitive. Just about jumped outta my chair the first time I heard a snake—that means it's a good sound effect, right? I played straight through to the end—the cutscene was well worth!
