It's really heartwarming to see these comments about my game. During development, I often thought my game kind of sucked—it’s hard to look at your own work objectively. Although it's quite buggy, it's nice to receive positive feedback.

The only thing holding me back was a lack of time due to an intense week at school. That’s why I leaned toward a more "crappy" art style. I’m not sure how that affected the gameplay, but it was the best I could do with the time I had. The chalkboard art style ideally fits the theme of the game.

If the game continues to receive positive feedback, I’ll definitely expand it, as working on it was really fun and satisfying.

If you're talking about unclear instructions, I assume you mean the book "puzzle." As I mentioned in a comment, the game—especially the box hitboxes—was very buggy, which often led to unfair losses.

Regarding the book puzzle, it’s what I called the third type—the trickier one—where you need to match the book’s spine, not the cover. I assumed players would figure it out after a few attempts. I had a hint in mind, but unfortunately, it never made it into the game.

As for the atmosphere, I’m really happy that it came through. As the developer, it’s hard to look at your own work objectively, and without playtesting, it’s nearly impossible—which, by the way, this game wasn’t playtested. Anyway, appreciate it man and thanks for playing!
