すごい!
I have been following your progress on Twitter and was very excited to check out the finished product.
Something about this game feels very Game Boy! The soundtrack is very charming and fun. Love the underwater variation of the music when you swim. And the pixel art is very retro. Simple but beautiful!
I thought the diamond card with the three piranhas was a bit difficult, but I succeeded after a few tries.
Great job and keep it up!
I gotta say I was pulled in by the cover art! After seeing the itch page, I am in love with the art in this game and on the page. Honestly, it is so clean and has the soul of classic gameboy games. Well done!
First game I actually finished and enjoy playing! Super well done, and as a musician, music is very good! 楽しかったです、よくやった!
the mechanics are very simple, but the level layout really elevate the game.
the map is just the right size, I never got confused or bored while playing.
the art style is super cute, especially the player and NPC sprites. I also really liked the color choices.
congrats!

Hmmmm.... either there's a hidden lives system or I softlocked the game after dying enough times. I ended up dying on spikes trying to find the clubs door to progress, and it faded to white and didn't respawn me at the last spot I saved.
Before it crashed, though, the platforming was solid, if a smidge heavy, though the game was built around said platforming heaviness, so it was working fine. The visuals are great. The music is good, albeit a tad short of a loop.
In all, a solid entry.
extremely cute game ! challenging enought to not be too easy and not impossible
