Short yes, but a really nice foundation to build open. There isn't much, but I like what I see. I guess the 'walking-sound' could get annoying in the long run, but in this short game, it just helps with making the character seem really cute.

I think that could be a great start for a good game. Currently its a little short and unpolished, but I really like the sprites.
I love you game so much. The derpy rock is my fav, best of luck to you with the results! Even though it was very very short, I really liked the premise and the cute little sound effects. I love the music btw!
The game is really short, it's a shame because I really wanted to see more! the music is quite nice but the sound associated with walking is a bit annoying after a while. The cute character design is really successful :)

Agreed with this comment! Did you draw the art and make the music yourself? Enjoyed both.

I really liked every second of it while it has lasted. Good job! How is that duck on it's back, I couldn't figure that out...

@buni @moddingmachine Thank you! :> It's the classic case of biting off more than you can chew for jam but i tried my best to at least make it have a journey-ish feel and closing.
@mathieuspooky you have a point about the walking sound, but glad you liked the characters! :>
@jaonewguy yes the art and music is made by me, glad you enjoyed them :D
@marton thank you! and that duck... you just gotta rotate your thinking around... :>

Love the character designs, it's a cute lil experience! Feels like an opening to a grand adventure aha!
Good job! Its a little short but i thought it was really cute and the music is great.
Very cute game! I think I've seen too much of Omori though because the combo of the hand-drawn pixel art look and color palette was slightly unsettling π really enjoyed the sound fx of the little root boy walking around through!

The ending music is rad! Really fun style and animation. I love the zany interactions with the duck and the rocks. The whole scene reminds me of Star Road in Mario RPG. Nice work on finishing the jam!

@chompdev thank you! It was definitely what i was going for so you nailed it :)
@hypernoodlejon would you believe i never played omori yet π but i like the potential of "slightly unsettling" even though it's too short to show it, maybe a slightly longer post-jam version after i'm done being tired of game deving

Haha, I loved this! Great music and atmosphere. A very nice little experience. I like how much character there is in a game as short as this. Good stuff!

I love the vibe, great work! It's short but you can see the effort! We discarded this kind of game because we thought it would be too challenging so I'm impressed :) Love the graphics!
this is too short!!! art was beautiful, and i loved the sound, i wish it last longer!

That one guy fell and is just going to lay there :D I liked it, short but it felt polished.
