Great job on this PICO game. I would ask that you indicate the number of keys/ladders/fire the player has with him at all times if its possible.

Just won! Nice game, I like the aesthetic. Might be nice to see how many keys, ladders, apples I have.

Great PICO game! Love the style and the puzzle at a whole. Would love to see the obtained items. Definately would want to see more bioms and levels!

I liked it! Surprisingly fun. Blew up lots of grass. Like others, I think it'd be nice to see how many of which items you have.

I like it, this is definitely a game I'd recommend to other, the principle is not too hard to understand and discovering everything is definitely something I like to do in games

Nice little game, it's satisfying to finish it, it's not tool long or too short, and I love the minimalist pixel look :)
As other said, it would be nice to know how many item you have :) but it's still great

Nice, fluid and relaxing. Exactly the type of game you play to ease up a bit after a full day of work. The graphics suited it so well, too!

I found the sounds to be a bit on the loud side, and it would be great to have some sort of inventory ui, but other than that - thank you for a great game!

Wow, a Pico-8 game! The game has a really good presentation. Everything flows. Graphics work really well and the sound effects are fitting. An inventory would have been great, but whatever. What amazes me, is how this game got me hooked. On the surface you basically do very little, you just walk around and sometimes pass an obstacle. And yet it got me hooked from start to finish. Somehow your little maze just works. And that is an awesome feat.

This was a nice little puzzle game ! I love it and usually I'm not really into puzzle games so yeah, good job really ! The art style was really cute too.

Woah neat game! I Love mobile friendly pico 8 games. It's a really fin approach on the theme. It's super fun, level design was well done, non blocking in any way, which is no easy to debug. Great job, solid entry!

AAAAA+ for effort. I don't know why such simple oldschool games are so immersive. Bonus points for similar take on the theme to mine one!

That was fun. Palette is well chosen and the few graphics are easy to understand, gameplay is very clear.
I am curious why you would qualify as a clicker crossover though ;) ?

Cute, it's simple but it has a certain charm to it. The movement felt a bit slow when holding down a key for my liking. Overall a fun little game.

just the movement is a bit slow

Cute little game! I liked spiralling around at the end. the lock and key method is very metroidvania reminiscent.

I actually finished it and had fun! There's nothing wrong with simple but perfectly working things. The only I would add - indicators of how many keys I have. And more levels :)

Nice little game. I included it in my Ludum Dare 45 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/zqhSjSyg75I
