  • Great art and gameplay!

How does your game bring our theme, The Error is the Feature, to life?
It's a zen game, making falling "the error in real life" as a "feature" in the dusty old library.

Did you include a fake publisher splash screen at the start of your game?

No

Did you use the Audius API in your game?

Yes

How did you use the Audius API in your game?
I used it to add sound/music for the different parts of the game, like book stacking sound, and background, and collapse and storm sound. Though the stream is loading, but for some reason I faced some issues with the playback.

If AI was used in your game, let us know how you used it.
I used GPT to help with code.

Hey, I really liked the effects in the game and how when i put way too many books they all started moving 10/10

A simple and chill game. I enjoyed stacking the books in different ways. I found out that you can stack the books vertically if you go all the way left or right and spawn them in.

I love the physics and the simplicity very cozy and chill. The end is cool.

Developer

Thank you so much. That's exactly the vibe I was aiming for (a simple cozy stack and collapse). I am glad the ending landed too. Thank you for playing the game. :D

I did enjoy some of the jank. Great job getting scoring to work. I'd love it if the physics were a bit smoother, tho, and the camera wasn't as weird when you spammed space. I think overall, gamifying the experience a tad more would make it even better
