Design Statement
From 0 to 21 seconds, the theme song features a relatively quiet and dreamlike melody that sounds like the beginning of a mysterious story. It’s as if, one night, a traveler has fallen into a wondrous realm. After 22 seconds, shakers and drum beats are introduced, and the melody becomes more upbeat. It evokes the feeling of a traveler setting out on a journey and wandering through this mysterious realm, passing through many places and gaining different experiences and sensations along the way.

Lovely messages throughout and I do like the art in the backgrounds, and the concept is definitely interesting! I think that there's not enough emphasis on the 'game' element however. 

Another quick bit of feedback is that given this is mainly textual, putting dialogue closer together so it's easier to read them close together would be better. As it's hard to read when they are so far apart (the frog and the main character)
