Did you work in a team?
Two team members. An artist/coder and a musician/coder.
Was the resolution a challenge?
Allowing the player to see enough of their environment was tough. We kept pushing the sprite size lower and lower to hopefully help. Eventually I think we found a good balance!
What did you learn?
We entered the jam to try our hand at a top down game, since we've made mostly side scrolling platformers in the past. We learned a lot about designing top down mechanics, and levels, and would love to continue expanding our skills in the future!

I love this game. Gives me a nostalgic feeling from my childhood playing legend of zelda<3 Thank you for this.
This might be a top 20 game for me! It's worth developing into a full game; there's a lot of polish already.
I think the sprite sizes are great. My game had a lot of dialogue in it, so I've been paying special attention to fonts in these submissions; I thought your choice of font was very clear to read and stylish.
I liked the laid-back music, although I wish the footsteps were a little quieter.
Nice game, the music (particularly the long slide) was a bit annoying but in general the atmosphere for the game was there. A lot of good mechanics solidly tested in zelda are there. Nice result overall.
This is awesome. The balance between sprite size and resolution was perfect, the work really paid off. Sound effects and music were great too. I ran into a bug where orb got stuck on a platform that I couldn't reach, but thankfully you implemented checkpoints so I didn't lose too much progress.
A great jam game! Lovely art and music and it was very fun to explore the world and solve the puzzles. Enjoyed it a lot and would have gladly continued playing after the end.
