The visual novel format works remarkably well for a 113+ year old myth

That was a cool story, your artwork was really good and I especially liked the jokes you put in there. I also don't know how to draw oil.
Ohhh so THAT's where ants came from. I never knew! Great humor and a very interesting story. Personally, I wish there were more actual "game," and hitting up and down together is a bit finicky. But overall good stuff.
531,926 is my score :D
Good comics, wish the story was unlinear :-)
This looks great and that story is both so wrong and so amazing!
Very cute. The illustration were just the best, especially when they added more context to the situations. Love the humor
I liked the drawings, and the voice over was appropriate.
Not too many jam games tell a story, so it was good to see. I also like how the art had its own flavor that went beyond just the story that was being told.
Maybe a couple additional smaller games between the "chapters" of the story could have helped improve the game aspect a bit. In any case, it was a charming experience :)
Great art. Cute voice. Fun time.
Love your arts :)
Really enjoyed the story aspect (drawings were fantastic and occasionally hilarious), so much so that I forgot why I was watching it, because I had forgotten it was a game. Voice acting was very well measured and delivered. The game aspect of it was less than enjoyable, however, and while I enjoyed the tie-in to the story, it didn't keep me coming back. Again, excellent work on the majority of this! But in the future, maybe weave story and gameplay tighter together.
Loved the art, voice acting, and the choice of story, I had no idea where it was going, and that ending, lol. Should definitely make more little treats like this, a good way to get in touch with old tales in a amusing way.
That was a cool story to know, the graphics looked really fun and so some of the dialogue. Wish it would have been longer...!
