How does the game fit the theme?
It's centered around a strange place, which, in fact, has a secret.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
I reused and improved a player controller from my previous project.
The same could be said about the player sprite. It is, in fact, my OC. I've sprited them long ago with refining from my acquaintance. They got heavily resprited for this game by our artist to fit into 16x16 grid.
Sounds are from Cave Story and all the music wasn't made during jam, yet it's still original.
How many people worked on the game?3

Iiinteresting, that took me a while to figure it out lmao. Cool concept!
I liked it. It took me a long time to understand that I had to press the button drawn on the platform😅
I love meta!
Sadly, I didn't get that the screenshots were part of the puzzle.
Still it was a really cool experience
Love the visuals and the gorgeous cover art, but I can't even go through the "This garden has a secret" scene. Any chance of a hint? :'(
The key is in the screenshot section.
(It might unlock the door.)
Cool short game, took me a while to discover the secret, until I looked more closely. Very nice visuals :)
I really liked the music and the character and the concept. However, I think it would have been nice to slowly increment the difficulty. I couldn't figure out the secret on the first level. But I really like the idea of it and would have loved to be able to progress.
i seached far too long for more secrets than the first one :D i love the idea of using the itch page as clues/ part of the riddle. really nice!
I love the lil character guy! The secret was a challenge, but I kind of accidentally found it!
