I love the variety of sprites you came up with! The gameplay itself was a bit confusing to me and once I figured it out, I think it could've used some more polish. But still, great job!

I like this game, the gameplay is fun and the visuals are nice. Sounds can be a bit much at times.
The boss fight was fun, took a few tries but I liked the challenge. Overall fun game
It took me a bit of time to understand what I was supposed to do and to understand also that you have to interact with the portal. I died quite a few times there ! But it's well done and I like the vibe !
Is the portal in the top-right supposed to take you to the next map? I got there but then nothing happened. Agree with others that the subversion of the normalcy of monster vs. human is interesting.
You went solo?, you did a lot of art by yourself.
Like the subversion of talking to the monsters while you avoid the humans! Stealth was very overpowered so didn't really try doing the combat much.
Fun game. It was fun trying to kill the boss after going through the game with pretty much only stealth. And the monster designs were cool
I love his little chompers! I had fun playing this while hanging out in the stream to get all the secret tips, haha.
i like how this is an inversion of typical action games like this, with the weird critters being friendly and the villagers being harmful to you
the different villager sprites are fun, i like the grandma with her walking cane haha
not fully captivated by the gameplay, since there's no real incentive for attacking and the random movement makes it too difficult, also if you just walk past the boss you can already see the sign haha
I beat the game!
I enjoyed the stealth aspect but it didn't feel like there were many consequences for being found out and the invisibility is OP lol. However your pixel art came across well and the monster designs were interesting.
