I appreciate all the different pieces that went into this game - from the guards AI, to the smash able buildings, and the funky looking trees, the cutscene. Well done for only 48 hours. I wasn't able to save the birthstone despite not taking many breaks or detours or fights. I just wish the Stonewaller could go just a bit faster, or at least have some music or something to do while waiting for the StoneWalker to get there.
