Jump mechanic was a little weird, but got used to it. Overall it was very fun to go around, talk to different creatures and collect relics.
It was a bit buggy though, I could fly around by holding the jump key and running into walls and ceilings. But a fun experience nonetheless!
I noticed though that I can jump again when I'm against a wall, I don't know if that's supposed to happen or not. It was also inconvenient at times for the jump button to be the same as the interaction button - maybe make them different? I also have no idea if I even finished the game after collecting all the relics and reporting to the mayor.
But overall it was really enjoyable game!
But the game doesn't start never.

It stopped in this screen, and nothing that I press/do make it go.
Now that aside ! The chiptune is amazing and the storytelling gave me a giggle or two! Well done :)
The bugs with the physics were jarring to play with, but it didn't really matter too much for what the game was trying to do. The interact and jump button being the same was also kind of annoying for the couple of times where it was relevant.
Overall nice game. Good job!
Movement is a little bit weird and you can fly if you go to the invisible wall of the end of the map and jump. In general movement is weird but it's good enough to play the game.
If you make a full version of this game I will play it. Congratulations for what a good jam entry :smile:
PD: I love the main menu song :thumbsup:
