Thank you for your feedback! I love Paper Mario and the aesthetic of mixing simple 3d geometry with thin 2d sprites. Glad achieving that aesthetic is now something that's possible and done pretty easily in GDevelop :)
If I ever update this game idea in the future I'll definitely speed up the game a bit. Outside of the jam the biggest criticism I got definitely has been the boat acceleration. That's just a variable, so an easy fix in the future!
