For the length it is, this is a pretty good game! The music is a little grating on the ears, but so are a lot of 8-bit games' music.

While the demo was meant to be a final release, we went back in out of boredom and remastered everything! Someone stole your sketchbook and it's up to you to find out where it was taken to! Get it back!
Controls:
Movement: Directional Keys
Action: Z
Start: Enter
This is a quick and relatively easy game.
Though, the fourth-wall breaks are too blunt.
Pros:
Game worked, and could be played.
Controls were simple and reasonably intuitive.
Generally had no problem moving where intended, or interacting with things as intended.
Visually clear as to what things were.
Cons:
NPCs would sometimes trap the character and just stand there for a while.
Everything was "lime green" without reasonable variation.
While I'm okay with witnesses not agreeing on where to go, the fact that you see the guy run south, and then find he ran down a hole to the north, is a bit contradictory.
The hidden dungeon should have at least been 1 area to the south of where it was located.
Not much replay potential, but then that wasn't the point of making it, so: okay.
Cool game
Pretty cool, I liked how everyone was pointing to different directions like they would in real life. Loved the art style, however everyone looked the same so sometimes it was hard to see which character I am. Also, a lot of the time, npcs would get in my way.
