+1 for DND night!

This game looks nice, I really like the art style. Fits the theme well, +1 for getting the music stuck in head.

I really like how you tackled the theme! Haven't we all felt "stuck" like that? ;)

I liked the idea, it seemed surprisingly easy - I got a "you win" screen before I'd even figured out what I was really doing by mashing w and runing around like a loon!

Nice implication of the LD itself and the D&D night ^^
Was a bit confused what to do and I won, but have no idea why
Setting was also nice. More relatable than I´d like to admit :D

Nice art style :-)

I went out of my way to get a game over and it was well worth it. The game over music was very fitting. Not sure if there are secret endings for grabbing specific items but it seemed most natural just to grab everything. Great job!

Good job! I love the artwork and music!

Nice pixel art. The game is a bit too short but I liked the idea. Good job !

The art is really good and it fits the theme well, but I don't like the main gameplay loop.

I won! I'm not sure why or how, but I did!
The goals were unclear to me. I thought I was supposed to be going to work, so I ignored all the misc stuff and focused on the things I needed to get there. Then I scored 0/X on a bunch of ratings, so I decided to pick up more things.
The graphics were nice and the feel of the game was great!

I really enjoyed the thematic implementation, graphics and sound of this one. Unfortunately I figured out pretty early that you could just walk along and mash 'W', which made the gameplay rather trivial.
This was a solid jam game overall, in my opinion.

I really like the vibe of your game. The graphics are beautiful, I love the pixel art (it resembles the graphic style of my game hahaha). It is an interesting game, of running out of time to collect the items on the stage. Congratulations.

Good audio and graphics, make a pretty pixel art in a jam is tough! For me the best part is the mood, so overall: great game

Easy to understand an play. I win I don't now how. Good generic and art.
Good job!
