Awesome game! Thank you for letting us play.

Cute game.  I love the concept and the visuals.  Would have been kind of funny to have a mock version of the game show up on the gameboy screen at the end there, but otherwise very nice!

Haha! That's a fantastic idea. Thanks for playing and commenting! We've been working on expanding lots more in the meantime.

I was really impressed with this. So much so, that I had to come back here and show some love in a comment. I mean DAMN! That was fun to play, it had great graphics, story, music, etc. I was legit bummed out with the length of the game. I wish there was more! Great job.

Thanks SO much for the kind words! We're both excited to continue and expand on this project, so stay tuned! :D

Well done and well execute. The only suggestion (I am sure you heard it in comments) is if there was a UI section that tells player that you need to defeat all the enemies. I am sure you can make a good kickstarter and best of luck

Dude! Thanks so much for streaming our game :D You raised a lot of good points a had a really chill commentary on everything. You've got a great attitude - very fun and encouraging! We made this in about 1 week, so there's a LOT I decided to leave out or keep very basic, to make use of our time as best possible. UI and Health are just a couple of things we are definitely considering adding in the future.

Kickstarter! - Yes! We've been thinking about it for sure. Thanks very much for the encouragement!

Absolutely awesome of you to do this for all these games! I really enjoyed your honest commentary and I'll definitely take some of the criticism back to the drawing board when we work on developing this more. I hope you enjoyed yourself, though! There were moments of the run when I thought "damn, he's got a good point!" so thank you again for sharing this! Very insightful!

Great game I really enjoyed the humor. :)

:D Thank you so much! Happy you enjoyed it!

Your game had such a unique feel to it, that it would be a pleasure to play a version that takes it to the next level or 30 ;)

It would be a pleasure to make! We'll be sure to share updates once we get there ;P Thank you so much!

you’re very welcome

So much fun to play - the art, music, characters, and story are all super fun and draw you into the world of Sir Thimb and the Flora Folk. I agree with @phantomthrill...when do we get the full length version? 

Haha! Thanks so much :D you know we'll ponder on this one for a while. PLENTY of room to expand!

So what would it take to turn this into a full spread game, I found myself wishing to god THis game was about 5 hours longer at least?

(+1)

XD YES! What would it take? More comments like this one!

It was hard to keep the scope so narrowed in, but it was necessary to keep it simple. We both talked about how easy it would be to expand on this and hope to do so in the future. Thank you!

A nice storyline and amazing art!

Thanks so much!

Glad you enjoyed it and we appreciate the support!
