As I mentioned before, the art is just amazing! The story really pulled me in; I truly put myself in the character's shoes.
I wanted to mention a small visual bug I noticed: When the character walks downwards facing the camera, a square pixel line appears on the left side. It looks like the animation frames might have been cut a bit too wide in the sprite sheet.
Overall, a very cool game. I was bracing myself for a sad ending, so I'm really relieved and happy that it ended well!
The art is awesome
Appreciated the writing and the hand-drawn art style!
Cute graphics, I liked it !
I think there’s some kind of backstory that I didn’t notice, but anyway…
The drawing is good, the music is also good. If I had to point something out, I noticed a slight visual glitch when the character was moving downward, and it would also help to show more clearly when you’ve already deposited the shells.
Hey, thanks a lot for the feedback! Yeah there are quite a few things that have to be straightened out to really get this to where I'd like it to be (tbh the story was written with like 4 hours left before I had to submit for the jam so that parts really rough) so I'm planning to give it a nice little update once the jam's over. Hope you check it back out once that's out!
