You've got tons of comments already but I'll echo what they say. Amazing level of polish for two weeks, fits the theme well, really cute art (the sad face when grinding the pumpkin really got me!), and a tried and true gameplay loop that is satisfying and fun. Truly well done, I'm super super impressed! Bonus points for the incredibly detailed, effective, but also very streamlined tutorial, that is very hard to do, especially with such a short time limit, and you crushed it! The only tiny bit of feedback is that some of the UI noises are just beeps and boops, and I think with your fantasy theme you could have gone a bit more whimsical and less robotic there, but really not a big thing compared to how polished the rest of your game is.
One other thing... I really appreciate that you were honest and up front about using music and SFX from Pixabay, but there are so many composers and SFX people looking for teams for these jams that I would love to see people give the community a chance! It would create a lot more opportunities for folks in the discord to participate and also give your game something totally unique! That said, your implementation of the audio was really good and well polished.
Really enjoyed playing!

Wow! Thank you so much for the detailed feedback, I'm really grateful!
I'm glad you enjoyed the game, I really only managed to get that tutorial done thanks to that extra day of the jam haha. I totally agree with the UI noises, to be very honest, I completely forgot about them until the last part of the jam and I just took them from my previous game. I'll be sure to update it!
On another note, I don't really understand people who hide their use from Pixabay or other sites.. it feels wrong to claim something as my own if it isn't right??
I'll definitely consider working in a team in a future jam! I wasn't too satisfied with my previous jam and I just really wanted to test my limits and see what I could do as a solo dev (after so, so, so much group work in college/uni...) and I hope I've done well haha.
Thanks so much for the comment, really means a lot!
