Very cute game, loved the visuals and the audio, but wish the objectives had a bit more to do with each other, and the storyline was more developed. Over-all very fun.

Nice game! Hope you could add some sound effects though, also i noticed your using Godot and the "E" prompt looked a bit blurry, if you open the font in the file system and click import -> enable generate mipmap and multichannel signed signed distance field and click reimport, it should become less blurry

Is that you?Such a nice small game. Nice job. I read through the comments and people already pointed some flaws so Im not going to repeat these. One thing I feel that would make the game feel way better would be sounds though. Just a few sounds such as footsteps or dialogue sounds would really enchance the feel. Overall well done on the game!

Trust No ThiefThe overall atmosphere is really nice. I especially liked the interactions with the NPC villagers — the small quests helped me feel more connected to the characters in the game. One thing I noticed is that some of the UI elements, such as the “E” key prompt during NPC conversations, looked a little blurry.

Peaceful FlockI liked how you built out the world with different npcs to talk to and enjoyed exploring it. I had a very easy time killing the wizard at the end and initially thought I needed to attack every creature in the dungeon because I had the sword. Great work!

Retirement BattleMy boyfriend and I enjoyed talking to the villagers (which made the wizard pretty suspicious right after the first one we talked to) and doing the animal puzzle and the maze!
The gameplay was relaxing, although it would be interesting if the attack mechanic was used a bit more in the maze (and it's almost impossible to lose against the wizard lmao). We would also have loved to have some more puzzles before the grand reveal, but other than that, the game is awesome and good job!

Onetti's Trusty ShopI enjoyed playing through this game. I liked the unique dialogue from the various NPC's. I would maybe like to see more of a way to disobey instructions, since you're kind of forced to do what you're told. I also think adding some more unique UI elements (such as fonts) would help a lot to make the visuals feel a little more complete. Still though, good job!

That's Not A Fish!Nice fun game....Kinda relaxing after trying out much darker ones
Absolutely loved collecting cows and sheeps hehe
The fonts, animations and UI could use a little bit of work though, especially for the quest ui on the left corner..it doesnt really match the otherwise colorfully awesome vibe of the game..But yeah, in terms of gameplay I absolutely enjoyed it

ᴍʏ ᴡɪɴᴛᴇʀ ᴊᴏʙ ɪɴ ʀᴜꜱꜱɪᴀ.This is the most charming game I've rated so far!
Some constructive feedback:
- For topdown/2.5D games, one technique you could do is to sort the rendering by their Y position, so that sprites near the top of the screen are rendered at the back. (Check out this video)
- I think the background music had some sort of positional audio setting since the more I move to the left the more it pans to the right, and vice versa. Not a big deal though.
- Some of the collisions still felt off, but I didn't get stuck at all anywhere like others mentioned and managed to complete the game, so great job on fixing that
Other than that, loved the graphics, the level/map designs, and the chill background music, which fits well with the overall vibe of the game. I wish we could attack the enemies in the dungeon level, I wandered around the entire map trying to fend them off before finally finding the wizard 😂
Keep it up!

STARHAULERGreat art style! Only feedback i have is with the collisions and maybe adding some background audio (as other people have said). But other than that its overall a pretty good game
Submitted
Trust no 1I think I made a mistake and trusted them...
Love animation of rotating
Is collider on grass also part of theme?
Submitted
Thought RotThe visuals were super adorable! Excellent choice!
People have already mentioned the UI and collision issues, but I had fun exploring the world! The wizard was untrustworthy, just like the villagers said!
(I'll be petitioning the council of pixelated wizarding elders to revoke his membership forthwith.)
