Thank you very much for the kind feedback! I'm happy to get some nice feedback on the fire detail :D
I haven't done pixel art in a while, and my initial fire idea was much simpler but it turned out in a way that I was proud of.
I totally agree that it would be better with some more interesting events and different paths that the "story" could go into. I had plans to add a lot more, but unfortunately I ran out of time so I had to cut it.
Thanks again!
