This is very good! The music really fits the bittersweet feel of the game. The art style is adorable.
One thing you might want to do is make the player sprite transparent, it is most obvious when you cross the bridge that has a different background color.
wow. i actually wasn't ready for this level of sadness but wow. such a great game i loved how easy it was to navigate and find the items! the graphics are so cute and i enjoyed the story to this!!
This game is really lovely! but is there an ending or am I being stupid? After I had collected the items for the pups and brought the flowers to the grave I spent about five mins wandering around to see if anything had changed. I noticed the flowers by the worms house and the ones by the waterfall, but after that it didn't seem like there was anything else I could do.....if that's the ending then thats ok, I love the game either way, I just don't wanna miss out if there's more content to enjoy!
feel terrible for responding so so so late, but the ending comes (spoiler warning) once you give the pups their gifts. It should automatically activate when the third gift is received (regardless of the flowers side-quest, that's just for an easter egg in the end lol). I recommend checking out the strategy guide if you're still having trouble. Thanks for the love :)
this was really sweet and warm. the music was very sweet, and your use of colors and tiling is really incredible. i fell in love with this!!! thank you for making something so lovely. really appreciated the stardew valley reference btw!
I’m not having any issues on my end currently (on mobile). I’ll check it out once I’m near my computer later. However, if you’re dying to play, mobile should work :)
Glad you enjoyed!!! The music sometimes doesn’t work when playing on phones, so that may be the reason. If you want to listen to the music without playing through again, the soundtrack is available for download desperately :)

It's called Bitsy! It's the best!!!

Thanks so much! and I agree! This is something i learned how to do later on in my time game-developing, and you can see in my more recent games :D
what a genuinely lovely game, the pixel art is gorgeous, especially that waterfall. and the storytelling is subtle but clear. and also very sad :c
the music is gorgeous too, incredibly fitting and really adds to the atmosphere <3
thank you so much for the kind words :,D
How cound I feel nostalgia for a character that made out of 5 pixels and only saw it first like 5 minute earlier? Amazing game
this is so heartfelt but so sad!!!
that was a great game!

Really, really good - thank you, this is wonderful!
What a short game, admittedly I did get confused but I think I roughly got the message! It's quite nice and calming.
Thanks for this game.
It's amazing. The backgrounds are lush and beautiful, and the story is sweet and intimate. I love it.
It's so dificold not to cry with dogs dying.
wow this is the third time a bitsy game has moved me to tears today
THE feelings , lovely game. The atmosphere is perfect.
I wanted to play because I love the way it looks but it didn't work in my browser

i can't hear the music:( i'm on a mac and my sound is turned all the way up. any ideas on how to get it to work?
hm... the audio works on my mac so idk what’s up. email me at whatthekidscallexhausted@gmail.com and I’ll send you the game as a downloadable file. <3
Thank you so much!! I’m glad you found it relaxing :)
I'm not sure if my computer just sucks but this game wouldn't load at all?? I would love to play it though since it seems awfully cute!

a very cute game, the ending made me sad. the art is inspiring to me for some reason, makes me wanna make a bitsy game too!
You totally should!!
This was literally the cutest game ever it was so fun and all the graphics were so cute !!!
Thank you!!! I’m happy that you enjoyed :)
This was a very sweet story! ✨
Also I was weirdly very drawn to the way you did the art for the cobblestone path. I kept thinking like..."Wow, that's a really good path!!"
Thanks!! The path tiles are actually some of the first I made for the whole game, out of probably around 200 lol
for some reason the music didn't play for me ): but that was a nice experience. and your art is incredible good. simple but beautiful.
Glad you enjoyed!!! The music sometimes doesn’t work when playing on phones, so that may be the reason. If you want to listen to the music without playing through again, the soundtrack is available for download desperately :)
