What a delightful little adventure, beautifully crafted, perhaps a bit too much on rails, but nevertheless great fun

Man love the art and music, really well and clever implemented. I feel the "story" or adventure as a whole was more a stage to showcase the great sound and visual design - which is good, you know. But with some more involved narrative design, this would make a really really good game. Good job!

Totally clicked in because i liked the art style, did not dissapoint :)
I opened the door!

I really love what you did here
I'm not normally one for music or text-heavy games but this was rather fun!
I really liked how the 3-frame animations matched up with the music beats. Everything matched very well, including the choice of simple walking animation and transitions! Nicely done :D

Ah! The art is very simple but extremely cute. Short, little, fun game. I liked it a lot!

I like the artstyle of the game! It fits with the music.
The music is chill and calm so you can take your time.

I do somewhat understand how this fits into the theme but at a first glance it's hard to tell.
The game isn't really humorous.

Overall I think this is a good game.

love the sounds and the art style like everyone else says! the transitions are very interesting to say the least, but the audio was a bit crunchy on my side - maybe just my computer being bad at handling stuff? - and the storyline's super wholesome too! good job:D

I liked the music. For what was the mushroom for? Or did I missed that?
The message in the end is funny. Great job!

Enjoyed that, thanks. I wish there was a windows build because there were some sound issues for me running it in the browser.
Some small details: I wish the "small background" in the "big background" where better integrated together. And the text was a bit hard to read because it overlapped the moving sprites which I found a bit distracting and didn't feel at the right place.

Interesting experience, the art style is very cool and I like how the animations were done. The audio sounded very crackly to me but it could be my own computer or browser so I don't want to rate low in audio for that reason. Overall a cool little game

Loved the music, atmospheric. Good choice of looping but i think the loops are just a little too short and too repetitive, it needs more change up.Also the reverb on the effects lasted too long, i.e. the mushroom so it blended into other things. I think the effects should all be a good bit shorter.

I also loved the stick men animations style of it. Cute game.

The music and audio for this is great! I enjoyed how the story was presented and the art style you went for works so well! I especially love the walking animation that plays as you transition between areas! Overall a really enjoyable and different entry, well done! :)

Very nice hand drawn graphics, the music was nice as well but overpowered the scene sometimes. The story was well fleshed out for a three day project and I didn't encounter any bugs. Very nice!

Gorgeous. Audio was incredible. Fit SO well with the artstyle. The gameplay was very simple but enjoyable, especially because of how reactive the sounds were to actions.

Terrific job!

For me it's not very fun, because it's not the gerne I enjoy to play, but the art, sound Fx (music could be better) are great. Good job anyway!

Great stuff! Really love the art style and music, it sets a really nice mood. Out of interest, did you do anything in particular to get FMOD to play nice with WebGL? I've had a fair amounbt of trouble with it. Is it just using relatively short loops?

Very cool! Love the audio. Love the art style. A full-blown point and click type adventure in this style would be awesome!

Charming game! Love the scene transitions. Fun writing, lovely visuals and the music ties everything together just right! Text could have a little more contrast with background :)

I liked the graphics of the characters) I wish that I could use some keys to use the stuff from inventory, my 4 year old son wasn't very happy when I searched through texts (kept whining :D)

That walk animation is great ahah!

Lot of interesting ideas, awesome art direction, really like it!

I would have loved more "weird/surprising" interactions like the way the creature talks in rhythm with the music :)

A good game. Short and sweet. You nailed Mood, and the music is excellent. I like simple puzzle/adventure games like these, especially when they have a positive message.
