Polished and fun! The attack mechanics felt like nice additions!

Oh heck yes, I love this! Rainbow freaking epic sword, pride-flag-colored books, avenging the banishing of books, an epic librarian.... YES! And it was cool you squeezed multiple additional mechanics in there, like the water and cutting down the hanging, caged books (I didn't save the first one in a cage because I couldn't figure it out, but when I saw the second one I was like oooooohhhhhhhhhh I get it!)

Terrific experience!

great music! very cool font treatment and a very well put together game. i somehow managed to take damage despite the gentleness of the enemy aggro, haha. good tutorial and fun animations!

Developer

Thank you so much for the feedback! I still take damage too. I’m actually glad I ran out of time to program the enemy attacks haha.
