i really appreciate all of the detailed and constructive notes! this was my first game so input like that can be very helpful. especially the note about axis flipping, that makes so much sense. thank you!

I love this! I'm hoping to return and expound on some of my thoughts after I finish the game but right now I'm about halfway (I think) through Floor 2 and this is my favorite game of the jam so far. Even keeping in mind my bias towards nostalgic collect-a-thons, this is just an overall really fun and polished platformer. It's wild to me that this was made in only 9 days!
The way that you handled the reusing of assets was especially smart and effective. Whenever I get to a section of jumps that I've seen before it hasn't felt repetitive but actually comforting because I was familiar with the jumps and knew I could make it. Then seeing a book stashed in a corner that didn't have it last time I saw this platform pattern was a really fun aspect of the object hunt.
Great work!!!
[Update: finished all 120 books on medium difficulty, had a blast the whole time]

everything about this game works so well! it's fairly simple but fun and satisfying, and deep enough for the time it takes to complete. i love the writing and dialogue options. from the artstyle to the gameplay, this was a very cleverly designed game for the scope and theme of this game jam. wonderful work.
edit: i just noticed you get slower the more gold you're carrying, i love that detail!
second edit: AND I HAVE CAPE NOW???
i really liked this! a personal favorite of the jam so far, it reminded me a lot of the silent realms form Skyward Swords (in a good way!). i got all 10 scaled and felt accomplished, had a good time doing it, great job!
i think the lighting effects were especially nice, i'm curious how you achieved those
i've been really enjoying this, im on wave 44 and i think ive filled in every spot i can. i tried to upload an image but it's too big. really cool to see it all filled out though!
edit: got through wave 48 and it started repeating the wave timer on wave 48with no more goblins coming. i think i beat it!
