Pretty fun, I love that you get to through library cards at people, something that I've always wanted to do. I have discovered a crazy bug/behavior though. I thought maybe I could press up and shoot at the same time. But holding up and pressing ctrl made the librarian float like crazy, and mashing ctrl while doing this produced some freaky warping effects.
I like how my weapon sounded like Galaga. I was able to fall out of the map on the right side of the 2nd level.
At one point I fell ot of the level. Overall it was a pretty fun game.
Knowledge sucks! xD

Whoops, didn't realize I left that gaping hole in the level. Thanks for pointing it out!
Brilliant idea! A bit repetitive, but still fun.
Fun, no bells and whistles, but better than a lot of prettier games. The walking was really funny. Reminded me why I try to never make animated images.

I remember enjoying Killer Librarian 1, the puzzle game, so I had to check out the sequel.
I beat the game, it had fun controls and I enjoyed jumping around, but I missed the puzzle challenge of the first one.
Heads up, on my first run I walked off the right hand side of the map on level 2, fell past the level, and sailed off into the void.
Oh wait, I see in the other comments I can throw library cards!
I just played a little more to try them, cool sound.

Yeah this one I definitely bit off far more than I could chew. I'm hoping next time I'll have something a bit more complete. I do have to agree that I liked the puzzle element to the first as well more than I liked trying the platformer style. Perhaps... next time.
I was also able to fall off the right edge of the second level. Pretty gun though, maybe a bit easy. Was really nice to see another compo entry though, I'm sick of all the jam entries making me feel bad about what little I can accomplish in two days.
Pretty fun platformer. The walking animation on the librarian looked like she had a crazy leg. My suggestion would be is to animation both of her legs. I also fell out of the map on the right side on the second level.
Nice to see another developer using the LOVE platform! Interesting mechanics including the use of a dynamic health 'bar' to make the game more seamless. Limiting the projectile weapons might make the game more challenging. Would recommend.
