Really cool game! Pixel art is very nicely done, and the audio is great! Gameplay feels nice and smooth, and puzzles were fun to do! I did use Enter instead of Z for interacting with things for a while, which did lead to me getting stuck on several occasions, but I did eventually figure it out lol
In the end I got to the cave where the color palette takes on a purplish hue, though I was a bit stumped as to what to do afterwards, as I couldn't figure out what really I had to do with the statue and Pearl of Wisdom nor did I really understand what the extra sprites at the blackjack screen meant. Could I get a hint on that perhaps? Would love to try again! Also I would discourage the use of mixels, as they oftentimes can make games look a bit disproportionate; it's fully your choice though of course ^^
Very nice job, especially as a solo dev! Keep it up :D
Also I like how there's an amogus in like 90 percent of the screens XD
