cool vibe for the game! would be cool to see more mechanics.. like hiding from ghosts or something like that.. or books where you need to touch them and then tap a bunch of times to truly collect them. congrats on your game!
Had fun playing this game, nice work
adorable, so fun! :)
thank you!
Such an adorable little cat-librarian game! =^w^= ~
If I would have one point of criticism, though, it would be that moving in this game feels a bit janky and you can easily get stuck in the objects, the ghosts aren't easy to get past and it also is a bit unclear what the cat's hitbox allows you to get through
But overall it seems very well made!
Thank you! And thank you for the criticism, I have been the only person who played the game. This is also my first game I have ever created so the feedback is very valuable! I think working on the character collision shapes may make it feel a bit better.
That's quite fine, friend ~
cool music and art!
Thank you for playing! This is my first game I've published.
