Haha thanks for the suggestion! I'll get to it for sure at some point! :)

Cheers! Doing a full game based on Gar's Den has been one of my objectives since I uploaded this game! Sadly I didn't get to it yet, but I will, so look out for it! :)

Yellow is good. These thoughts are, too.

Oh wow yeah I didn't see that, thanks! It looks correct on my side, which is weird. I'll just make a little taller then. Thanks for reporting!

No not yet, but hopefully by the end of the year I will! :)

Cheers! :D

Thanks! :D

Yeah I know having the shooting star above the title looks a bit weird but the other way around would also have looked weird, so I chose this. It's fine....

I love this. You nailed the balance between god game and cellular automata. I could play with this for hours!!

It might be a bit of a shame that the game isn't that challenging but to be honest I think it wouldn't be as much fun if it was.

This super cool! I'm loving the juiciness of these controls. I would totally play a more elaborated game (like, with enemies for example ;) ) based on this! Great job!

This game feels like truth. Good job!

I'm not sure I totally got the rules of that but it played very nicely! The graphics are charming and your use of color is really good!

Highscore is 271! Could do with more meat but I guess the simplicity makes the charm! :)

Very nice style in this!! Lovely tension building from the beginning to the ending!

Cool entry! It could do with a little more interactivity. :)

Very cool little adventure game! I loved the ending!!

This was amazing!! Great soundtrack, super cool graphics and addictive gameplay! I love it a lot!!!

Super cool mini-adventure game!! Restarting the game all over again several times in order to win didn't feel too bothersome, so I'd say you did great!

Super cool pet game!! It... rocks! :D

Who doesn't love cellular automata right?! :D

Really cool stuff, I love the fact you let us choose which sprites we want to play with!

Haha really cool idea!! Looks pretty neat too! Nice Job!

Haha ! Thanks I guess !

This game is really hard.

Looks like you got stuck in a door. I thought I had fixed all the door-related bugs... ><

Thank you for the report, I'll try to fix it for a potential update in a few weeks. :)

Thank you! I really enjoy Itch.io!! :D

Hi, thank you!

Yes I can confirm that you died there, that's what caused the crash. Dying right when changing rooms is not something I anticipated at all. I'll fix this, thanks for reporting!

Hi! Can you tell me more about this please? Is it the background hurting your eyes or the low resolution or maybe the colors? Or the combinaison of all three? Do you maybe have an idea of a solution that would not hurt your eyes?

Thank you for the praise. :X

Hey congrats and thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! :D

I only fixed a bug with doors sending you into walls in some rare occasions. :)

You can run it in Pico-8, same as garsden.p8.png . The only difference is that people who don't own the Pico-8 can take a look at the code with any text editor if they want to. :)

Thank you! I used the LÖVE engine, it's basically a lua framework (no IDE). https://love2d.org/ :)

Hey awesome! Thank you for this video! :D

I already commented that on the video but for those watching from the itch page, you can actually use the right mouse button to boost your planes, which makes avoiding bullets easier and more interesting. Also there's more content after you get better at the game. :)

Your wish has been granted! At least I hope so, I can't test it myself. :X Please tell me if it works?

Hi! I've added a x32 build! Enjoy! :)

That's strange. You only need to hold one arrow key and then press 'x' so maybe try that? Pressing all the arrows should have worked too... :/

Thank you! This was made with Pico-8! No shader in Pico-8, only pixel manipulation which is what i used! :)

This is brilliant. The concept is brilliant but you also nailed the atmosphere of the library.

I know this sounds strange but in the game I really felt like jumping and especially sitting (or simply crouching). Like... jumping to get a book that's on one of the higher shelves and then just sitting down and look around while seated. Sitting down with the book would also be +++ but even without that, I feel like sitting down would have been very satisfactory.

But yeah, again this is absolutely brilliant. Having different kinds of randomness in different books was an excellent decision. Your game is a good experience. :)

The gameplay screens have been added! :)
