Really impressive entry. The presentation stands out right away, from the UI and sound design to the hand-drawn backgrounds and CGs. Seriously, those backgrounds, pure bliss.

The visual style is striking and very confident, and the creature designs are especially creative. The game is short but well paced, and the final fight was engaging enough to feel rewarding.

Overall, a very polished and an extremely high-quality jam game. Congrats!

Lovely artstyle, it makes a great first impression! 

I think I found an incorrect map transition while backtracking through the boulder puzzles (super unlikely scenario, haha). I was a bit lost during the maze puzzle; I'd suggest choosing a more distinct sound to better indicate the correct paths so it doesn't blend in too easily with the background sounds, or making it clear that getting close to an exit would trigger it (I thought I was supposed to wait for a sound to come from the left or right speaker at first). 

Overall, I quite enjoyed the game's pacing, although random encounters could get a bit repetitive (especially if one gets lost in the maze like me lol). The characters and setting seemed interesting and kept me engaged. Well done!

I'm really glad you enjoyed the game, thank you so much for your feedback!!

Yeah, I think I didn't make the instructions clear enough for the sound puzzle, I'll take it in mind for future proyects as well as the battle thingie being repetitive since this was my first time doing a battle system 🙏 Again, thank you so much for the comment, it helps me improve a lot
