Interesting backstory, where you have to fight conspiracy theories with the power of science or history, which means to shoot figures with books. I couldn't find more meaning in the game though. It's an interesting premise.
So funny ahah and i loved the music!
Interesting Concept, Solid gameplay. The music was cool too.
Very interesting game changes my perception of metaphysics and overwhelms me with new sensations.
It was a fun game with great music. I fell like the game turned from a game about throwing the right book at the enemy to a game about throwing as many books as you can. Other than that, great game!
Good trash game)))
Very interesting concept and liked the art style. It was very hard to aim at a particular enemy as they all clumped together. Some way of making them spread out would definitely be useful.
Also I was able to walk outside of the area and into the mountains and then when I walked far enough I fell off the end of the world and into the "void".
I like the music and backstory. All the enemies clumped together made it impossible to read what they were saying. Spamming both books seemed to be the easiest way to progress.
Thank everyone for the feedback, it's very valuable for us! @staircase27a , @someone Regarding the clumping and book spamming - yeap you are completely right. We saw these issues during the playtest but unfortunately didn't have enough time to handle them.
I guess, the first major post-jam update will be aimed exactly for: 1. Improving enemy AI to make them flanking around a player for better spreading 2. Improving text bubbles to make it more readable 3. Possibly, allow enemies to shoot back with projectiles to increase the challenge
Nice! I really like your theme twist, great sound design!
@hyperspacejelly, @taylor-carroll, @the-body, @shimonster Tnx for your comments :heart: Speaking about music and sound design, our composer has a SoundCloud so you might pay him a visit if you wish to https://soundcloud.com/zaqq :musical_note:
Hope it will force him to upload releases more frequently :smile:
Loved the idea, although I felt like I could just spam until I could single out one of the big guys and hit em with that good history/science XD I found the concept really funny though. Great 3d entry :)
I'm not sure what I just played but I'm pretty sure I liekd it.
Had trouble reading the enemies ideas fast enough to determine what book to use on them, ended up just spamming and trying to run. Love the theme though!
Rode around space on a stream of books to phase into an upside down pyramid and examining the lizard people from below. I think that means I won? Pretty fun and funny premise!
Really interesting idea! Liked the graphics. Gameplay was very hard and stressful tho :/
I enjoyed the concept. I would recommend to make the enemies of the color of the book just it would be quicker to point out who is who, since there are plenty and move really fast.
I would recommend adding an enemy variation: some walk slower, other faster, others jump.
Still a nice game, I had fun!
I like the story!
This was hilarious, I loved it too much. Based on some of the comments I see you're handling a lot of the issues I experienced when I played, so that's great news!
If your interested, I played it on stream here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1017517813 starting at about 1:13:25ish
Great work guys!
@conduit @jordan-carroll @chillen @dingdingding @binaryprinciple @vixenmink @secretjuice Thanks for your feedback, really appreciate it!
Returning to the enemies and their quotes. Despite the bad readability and grouping (that requires improvement, no question :smile_cat:) there are still a few hints for aiming: - color - letter in the brackets text.jpg

Also, there is a short moment when enemies are invulnerable. When a lizard is silent (no text above the head) you can't damage or upgrade him.
