Oh sweet Bonnie! The story is really moving. I adored the retro style, especially the shop. The music is nice but a bit repetitive. I had fun paying it. You animate the enemies perfectly and the battle is very balanced and playable. A very good job!

I loved playing this game, I felt like I was playing on an old TV with the shape and the crunching is great! The character is really cute, the animations are good. As much for the main chara as the enemies. The sounds are great too, it really reminds old games. I had a great time! Good work

Really nice game! Great audio, graphics, and game play. I really like how the screen distortion makes it feel like the game is being played on an old crt tv.

First thing I noticed: really nice CRT TV effect! add lots of charm to the visuals. I also really liked the graphics the fox-folks are really cute, each one in their own way. The mom's walking animation is also quite endearing.

I didn't quite figure out the game's goal, after amasing a good sum of money from beating up monsters (and dying a couple of times alon the way, those slimes are tough), I came back to the village expecting to spend that money on something, but didn't really found that option. Maybe I missed something?

Anyway, overall a nice entry!

This is soooo polished. I absolutely love it. Amazing to see TV shaders and chromatic aberration in a jam game. This deserves way more than 5/5 for graphics and the gameplay is great.

This was lovely!

I only wish there was more of it. I think it's pretty clear how this type of game can be expanded upon, it might be worth considering after the compo fatigue wears off.

Very nice entry, has someone already said, very polished and the map is quite big !

I really like the design and the mood, i want to see more of this character :D

Me 2 cons :
- The overworld music is a bit repetitive
- The text font can be hard to read for the characters in lowercase

Great work !

Wow, beautiful game, really pulled me into it! I loved the music, your take on the theme was great, I liked the concept of trading in different places; the only downside was that it didn't take too long to play through.
One of my favourites this jam!

I really enjoyed this game! The idea was very solid, and the mix of mechanics between combat and trading really worked well. I thought the graphics were amazing, the music served them well, and I can't wait to see this game further extended! Awesome job!

This was delightful, and fun! I really enjoy how there were a couple of different mechanics, with the fighting and also with merching stuff. I thought the length was really good, simple but well done :smiley:

Very nice! A little easier than I think at first (even if I died trice), but for a LD better have an easy game than a hard one. Neat graphics, animations, sound, and, well, you did a very lot of things in so few time, so well done!
