Love little GB games like this! Do you know if you will release the ROM?

Thanks! No plan at this time, but it's good to know there was interest in the ROM. If there's any future update, I'll make it an option as well 

Heck, make it a support/paid option if/when the time comes. Love stuff like this

Cute game, but the dialog is really bland. Put more pizazz next time.

Such a nice and warm little story ! Greatly enjoyed it.

I would recommend putting some highlights around clickable items (I didnt see the chest until late in my second playthrough and could not find the key yet) as pixel hunting can be a little frustrating.

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it  :)

And thanks for the feedback! I agree completely--just ran out of time before the jam was over. Once my brain has rested, it'll get a little polish update

Woah, the art is amazing!

Did you took pictures of a house and then pixelated them?

Thanks! Yeah, a lot of them are photos pixelated and adjusted to fit the format.
