Wow, that was pretty cool :D. I really like the art style, and the gameplay and amusing dialog made it quite fun :). There were(of course), a few things that could be fixed. A fairly minor issue, but you should be able to change your path even while moving, it just feels a bit restrictive otherwise. The music didn't loop, so after a bit the game is rather silent which isn't too great, and finally you could see a bit of the overworld when your down the well if you move into a corner.
Those are pretty nit-picky though, and overall I really like the feel of the game. The transitions are done well, I love the way dialog is done, the quest is cool(Although I think the goblin should give you a hint of what would make it tastier as I'm not sure how your meant to know about the toadstool) and I found it pretty fun. Good luck continuing :).Edit: Stats:60fps(With Q on its around 500) the entire time with everything on.OS:Win7Graphics card: Nvideo Gforce something or other with CUDA.I like it. ~125 fps on an 2009 laptop fyi.
