I appreciate the tone and theme to this game. Funny enough, my game is about a situation that made me lose my parents too, just in a different way.
As for the game itself, the startup movement is in my opinion a bit slow, and jumping being tied to your momentum makes it a bit hard to determine how far you will go (jumping from standing still hardly clears any jump). The game is very pretty and the music is nice (though the monster sound effects cause a bit awkward interruptions).
