Feels incredibly polished for your first ever game! Like everyone else I love the art style - but I think you did especially well with the main thumbnail. It immediately jumped out to me in the list of submissions as something I wanted to find out more about.
The village was fun to explore and I can't wait for a larger version of Othala. You've got a great base to iterate off of. However, my feedback is that I felt a bit overwhelmed at the start of the game not being able to know how big Othala actually was. Once I hit the edge of the village and had a sense of scale then I was able to go back and explore the details more relaxed. The ability to zoom out to a bird's-eye view or a simplified minimap could go a long way in the future.
Great job!
