I like the game, but its nice to see the addition of newer textbooks, and powers. It would also be nice to have a cue as to when powers will be switched soon. An instructions page could be included to have the menu screen neater, or rather a demonstration of how the powers work, instead of the instructions. Overall a great game, I had a great laugh burning the math textbooks, and best of luck in the GMTK game jam! 9/10, would fail math again!

This is an incredible game! The movement felt amazing, the art was good, and the different emotions were cool.

A Key(s) PathNice, the mood being 'out of control' was quite clever way of interpreting the theme!
Out of all four moods, I think the joy is the my favourite mood.. It feels great to dash through the books while emitting some fancy trails.
My little feedback is that it would be good to add some sort of indications before switching to next mood, especially on the 'joy' mood where you have to run into enemies but then you could sometimes switch to next mood while you're in middle of dashing through enemies & take some damage.
I know that's not quite realistic (y'know.. mood swings doesn't have any sort of convenient indications) but for the sake of gameplay, I think this would let the players to prepare & plan out their next strategy and make the gameplay more fair & interesting.

KEYHOARD JOTTELIf only I could have done the same to my books when I was in school. It was quite fun and I was not expecting it to be so enjoyable!

Where Is MY Parking Spot?!I like the concept about emotions going out of control (Kinda similar to my game). It was a very fun game to play

Lost ControlI like how it fits the theme.
Without a doubt, joy is the most powerful ability.
I think (probably?) it could benefit from a bit more balancing of the abilities. Anger seems strong but one click per kill can’t match just sprinting through 8 books at once.
Overall, clever and fun

Wild Magic (supports controllers)Best game so far, only thing I want is feedback for when i'm gonna change state because at the end of the happy state it's very easy to accidentally take damage. Changing state is like getting the big pills/circles in pacman but more satisfying and more often.
