A nice short and cute game. Would be nice if there was a bit of music to go with it.

Cute game with a lot of random stuff to do. I liked the graphics, especially the magic wand. Overall, a short but pleasant experience.

Very nice game! I recommend giving some sort of hints for the player. It was fun to play. Good work :)

Fun game! The sound effects got pretty grating after awhile, it may be nostalgic, but there is only so much 8-bit walking sounds I can take, especially with as much content as you managed to put into this in such a short time. Not sure if it was intentional or not, but after fighting the boss, if you kill him with his little attack sprites still up, they just stop and stay on the screen. It would have been nice to have some sort of health or lose condition too. Overall though, I really enjoyed this game.

This game has a nice retro touch to it. :-)

At the beginning I wandered aimlessly around because I went to the left. A little bit of guidance would be good. ^^

I was pretty surprised of the pumpkin boss. Fortunately you have many (or indefinitely?) lives or else I would have died very quickly.

Really lovely little game. I was a little bit lost at the start but after getting into it I had a lot of fun. Maybe some more in-game guidance or dialogue would help there. Really loved the art style and thought it was extremely well done. Nice job!

I love these games that have sucha cute retro aesthetic. Theres something about tiny ixel and tiny screen that just gets me hyped.

I eventually find some things and killed some mosnters and fought a really scary pumpkin, but I really enjoed my time with it, it was fun!

Very charming game. Would love to play a full version of this with story. Definitely has that retro Zelda feel to it.
