I really enjoyed this! I think the limitation worked quite well, considering every loop you use info from the last to take a slightly different path, and that gameplay is very interesting and fun. The hints and layout of the whole area is great as well, the game design work here is amazing.
Very cute art as well. I would have liked a walk animation and a few more assets (especially in the buildings and home screen) but this is a jam game, so its definitely understandable that that is lacking (and keep in mind, I want more animations because the existing stuff is so darn good!)
Aside from that collisions are a little wonky and made it a bit hard to push some objects as well as pick up the coin.
In all, great little game! I undoubtedly enjoyed my time with it, even if I made the mistake of not talking to the librarian and running around aimless for a couple loops >.<
Great work!
