This feels incredibly rough, there's no sliding collision - I get stuck to everything, the artwork is bland, the music stops when a sound is played, the NPCs talk waaaay too much for a concept so simple and the background clips through the trees.
This feels like a reimagining of an old 80s game for Commodore64.
I like how you've interpreted growing as a theme though.

Wow, all the characters had a lot of unexpected depth. What it was lacking on the graphical front it made up for tenfold from a storytelling and worldbuilding perspective. Thoroughly enjoyed playing, thanks for the experience.

Really rough and boring. I had a hard time figuring out what to do. I can see that you put alot of effort into the story, though.

Cool idea. I liked the graphics and the music was cool (but I think it stops randomly). But I didn't know what to do. I think having the texts be faster would help a lot.

The character writing for this game is amazing, they all had a lot of personality. I like overall aesthetic too, the music is very calming:) I feel like it could do with a bit more instruction at the beginning, and maybe some more feedback to show if you've completed an action like trample a plant or complete a quest.

I was blown away. As soon as I can I'll give it another go. GREAT JOB!

A little bit janky, but I can definitely appreciate how ambitious this is for a jam game :) Could probably do with a way to speed up text, as there's a lot of waiting around for it to slowly scroll in at the moment

Script was excellent but needed cutting down on I feel, nice though very different.

I like the depth that you've put into the characters, and how they have their own unique personality. The music I think fitted nicely with the theme of the game. I think that the text could have done with being a bit faster though.
