Thanks! It took a bit of button mashing at different angles, but I got it this time :)
I can tell that a lot of work went into this, especially the world-building and lore. I love the creature design! It looks to me like the limitations of Pixel Game Maker might have made it difficult to play to your strengths in this jam. If you like RPG Maker, GB Studio might be worth a try for the next GBJAM!
