- Love the game! A little tedious on the puzzles but very cool idea. I forgot to open the books for the second door. and it was 40. Yes, I put 40 books into the cauldron before i realized you could open them. Cool art but could see I was the default pill character by its shadow. Environment was great.
- throw books on the floor simulator.

That was a lot of fun, good job. The idea of mixing things together to solve puzzles was a cool concept and interpretation of the theme.
I enjoyed the freeform gameplay of being able to move around anywhere and pick up all the books! Was a bit laggy on browser, but that's to be expected. It was a bit frustrating to place books in the cauldron, but the splashing sound effect made it very clear when it was successful. Love the assets and music!
I didn't really understand how to open books to see numbers...I see others found a way to do it but I was just throwing in books at random and got a failure 3 times before I gave up. I felt like it ramped up from 2 to 28 very quickly and did not explain how to check the book's number, which made it a little overwhelming.
Hey sorry fir the delay.
The key to open Books is "E" it's written on a flag at the start of the game
I really liked it, looks nice and plays nice. My
only complain is that there is no strategy or clues to checking the books, just take them and open them at random.
yeah, I had the idea of a mirror hat reflect lantern light and that show what's in the books on their sides but didnt had time
Very addicting game. Well done. I had fun playing it and the theme was executed awesome. Honestly, I don't have any criticism about the game, it was really good.
Nice use of the theme! It was a good "throw books into a corner" simulator XD! Enjoyed it a good bit!
