Hi all!

I had so much fun working on my very first game in my very first game jam! I was able to finish the bare minimum for a complete functional game within 48 hours, but there was so much more I wanted to add, but just didn't have time for.

So, ever since the jam ended, I've been working hard on completing my vision for the game! I've added lots more visual effects, some animations, sound effects, platforming, extra (and secret) dialogue, lots and lots of polish and bug fixing, and I even made my own sound effects and background music!

I especially had fun creating the music, I've loved listening to videogame soundtracks all my life, and making my own was a really special experience. I'm sure you'll hear the influence of Zelda, Night in the Woods :3

It's been really great to keep iterating on the game, and see it go from the bare minimum to something I'm really proud of.

I know its super late in the ratings cycle, but I'd love it if you try out the post jam version and tell me what you think! There are still some things I'd like to polish, and a few bugs I need to fix (if you play your cards right, you can end up at the Butcher's Shop with three coins, and he'll have no idea what to do about it!), but I'm very happy with the current state of the game, and I hope you enjoy playing it as much as I enjoyed making it :3
