I really like the art and the music for this game. The controls work well enough, and I like how you came up with an entire narrative for this game. However, there are more than a few issues with the game. Firstly, the animations tend to break, causing the main character to move around without a walking animation or get stuck in their attack animation. Second, when the player dies, the text telling them how many buds they have and the number of items they've collected/enemies they've killed for their objective disappear. Thirdly, the player can get stuck on enemy hitboxes, which makes it difficult to get around certain obstacles (in the second level, when jumping from platform to platform, I got stuck on the hitbox of a flower enemy and was unable to move until I killed it). Finally, there are times when I got hurt by nothing at all, as I have gotten hurt from walking around even if there was no enemy to hurt me. Overall, very impressive game, but it has too many bugs to really get into it like that.
