The scope of this project is seriously impressive; doing all the art and design yourself is an incredible achievement, and the art is of venerable quality. I never realised how challenging pixel sprites are, and to actually make them look nice and consistent. I would gladly insert a pineapple violently up my back passage to have a scintilla of the skill on display here.
Yes, I did encounter a range of bugs, however I was pleased to learn that simply speed-running through each objective was possible and made getting back to the same point nice and quick to finish the game.
I loved the RPG elements, they feel fleshed out for a jam and still extensible enough for this to be turned into something really great and commercially viable, should you be so inclined.
All in all, I think this is one of the strongest entries. I fear that the bugs might affect the score more than it deserves but I really loved this one and think it's a real achievement, and is aspirational for those who are new to this game and need projects to look up to.
Thank you.
