I messed up and didn't get the green onion seed from the fish, so I couldn't finish the game on my first try. its cute how the dog gets in your way a little bit which is soo true with dogs lol, but I really liked the game!
I just finished the game. I like it. In the end I was missing an end-game cutscene - but I found it :-)
This was so cute, and the references gave me a few smiles as well. Delightful positivity and friendliness!

Do you know about of other emulator for Windows?
"BGB" is a good GameBoy emulator for Windows, for example.
real cute game!
This game was so relaxing and anxiety curing, I really enjoyed playing it. Although I got 3 out of 4 endings I couldn't get the mushroom queen ending. Overall, a really cute and entertaining game. I loved it ^3^

Adorable game! But does anyone know how to get the Mushroom Queen Ending?

Thank you so much for playing and sharing!💕
Lovely, lovely game. Got 4/4 cutscenes right to start with, loved all the little touches. One thing though, Kiba blocked me one time when he started to follow me and I had to restart the game!
Thank you for playing and reporting a bug! I will be updating the game shortly to fix.
Awesome! ❤️
Hello Chloe,
My name is Antonia Gates, I manage the games at CoolmathGames.com. I really enjoyed Melanie and the Magic Forest, I think it would be a great fit on our site!
I'm writing to ask if the game is available for non-exclusive licensing. Our licenses are totally non-exclusive, so you would maintain all of the IP rights and could continue to develop and distribute the game however you'd like to.
Please let me know if it is available, and how much it would cost. I'm looking forward to discussing this with you soon!
Best regards,
Antonia Gates

how do i play it i download the file on my mac but it's still a file and i don't know what do i need to play it. any help?
You can play it in the browser. There is a play button at the top of the page that says “run game”, if you click on that the game should start. Press A or Option button (for Mac) when you see the menu that says “A Start”.
The downloadable file only works through Game Boy emulators.
I didn't fully know what to expect with this game, having played through so many homebrews already. This game out of the gate is a sight for welcomed eyes, the colour palette is GORGEOUS and music follows suit.
This was a VERY relaxing game to play that offers an extended ending if you can uncover all the extra cut scenes. I adored the story and sprite work and the throw backs to some of the 90s and early 2000s pop culture references.
Highly recommend checking out this game.
thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your play through!
This game is so cute! I got two of four cutscenes on my first playthrough. Gives off some great Link's Awakening vibes.
Thank you!
Love it :D
Thank you!
Such a cute game ahh, now I just need to replay until I get all the cut scenes haha
Thank you so much for playing!
3/4 cutscenes. Love the game.
Thank you!
You're welcome friend :)
