Thank you for this neat little story! I liked the visual variety of locations and characters, and all the mythology behind different pieces in museum. It was a solid tiny adventure and i enjoyed it :)

Thank you! The game jam theme gave me the idea to include a museum in the game.

I enjoyed this. Well done! I like how the Chinese influence comes across not just with the story but in details in the art and in the music. I particularly love the art of the pagoda. It looks amazing. (The front entrance to the museum and the forest trees are also very cool.)

Oh my that forest scene! I wanted to dance with the woodland creatures all night. Thank you for making this.Beautiful lil story and Bitsy work.

Nice work. I like your sprite work, especially on the large objects like the trees and the tower especially.

Thanks! :) I had to plan the sprite externally with a pixel art drawer (and I even used actual graph paper for some of them), as Bitsy only let me edit individual 8 x 8 tiles at a time.

I really enjoyed your composition of the scenes and the symbolism behind the story.

Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed it. :)

Neat short puzzle game, gave me good memories of the old "Return of Heracles" on the Commodore 64, but more intuitive. I support the idea of adding some music.

Thanks! :)
