I am too stupid for this game. I made wrong the first level for 4 times. It is beautiful.
LOL, interesting game, I think the space limitation theme can be shown in filling in the blank. And there are some tricking things. For example, I can even write on the table, the ink keeps there. Sometimes the notification would hide the sheet that I have to re-grab the sheet to the other side and then pick up the pen again. But it's fun at all.
This is absolutely brilliant. I honestly have no notes for you all. It's goofy, it's smart, it's extremely creative and fits the theme in an outside of the box way. Everything works as you would expect. The controls can get tedious managing overlapping sheets of paper, but I think that's necessary for the type of game it is and also spins in to the theme of working with limited space.
You should be really proud of this and I think the concept could easily be expanded if you decide to continue working on it.
As for the commenters, if anyone gets a perfect score on this game you should automatically be put in to Mensa.
Not bad, here's my report card:

Not sure why I got some of them wrong that I did, but still fun overall ^^
(EDIT) Oh yeah, this is how I defeated Game Theory and Geography:

Interesting take on limited space and great art! I kept losing track of my pen due to the limited space on desk though :(
Thanks for the feedback everyone!
Also, those are some quality notes @agentparsec! Very neatly organized information. I like your grimgram :)
this is basically how I studied for finals so I was a pro at this =) Actually did pretty poorly the first couple but after I got the hang of it, aced the last 4. really unique take on the theme! I do not miss my days in school. At all.
Graphics are amazing and the theme is used genuisly ! Great job !
ohh this was so so so so fun. I was (and still am) a doodler on any and every surface and I loved this so much, it tapped into my soul. Also the SOUND? THE SOUND OF THE MARKER IS SO HNNNG GOOD. The subjects got better and funnier with each one and the tests were sometimes tricky despite the notes and everything was so well written and I can't give you enough praise gosh. Amazing amazing jobScreenshot 2023-10-05 231150.jpg!Screenshot 2023-10-05 234647.jpg
Amazing entry
Loved the gameplay, the play on the theme, visual style is great, very fun to play and humorous (my favourites for now are "and throw it all away", "0.85m deep" which is a trick not used in exam, and the ending of literature text). I can also see how this game can be expanded further! Great job! The only note - could we both take and drop an item with just the left click?
I have seen another similar mechanic with notes for exam during this jam (Voynich Lecture) but that one is very absurd. This one is more straightforward and logical
Very fun and original :)
@vary Wow, such cute notes! I love that you used your extra space to doodle. Thanks for sharing, and congrats on getting so many As :D
@stronf Glad you liked it. The main issue with left click to drop is that it would be hard to distinguish between clicking to draw vs clicking to drop, but perhaps we could have done so based on the speed of the click. I'll check out Voynich lecture as well to see how they did it.
@almost that makes sense, thank you for response. Once again, well done!
Honestly one of the most creative games this jam. Super impressive.
Very fun and unique game! I've never been so happy to receive a normal pen. The language test was especially funny. I was so busy copying the philosophy book that I didn't understand the actual story :sweat_smile:

You should post the answer key later so people can see what they misunderstood... like I wasn't sure if the store-bought ramen would count as an ingredient.
Solutions below:
For anyone who is wondering what they got wrong, I have written a full set of solutions.
SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS
Art
1. Big Cat painted Tragedy 2. Lovers features a sun/moon (and two trees) 3. Triumph has 6 people 4. Freedom depicts a Turtle
Cooking
1. Basil leaves were used 2. Garlic was the first-used of the options 3. Cheese was the last-used of the options 4. Crush is the action (Crush like your enemy's face) 5. There are 9 ingredients: Basil leaves, nuts, garlic, oil, sea salt, pinch of love, cheese, instant noodles, store-bought pesto ramen. All of the ingredients were pictured on the left page of the textbook, and love was also mentioned as an option for a previous question to clarify that it counts.
Literature (Little Red and the Wolf)
1. Little red was visiting a relative (her grandmother) 2. Mr. Goat is least likely to be a citizen because he has a mean appearance and it is Cuteness-Only Kingdom 3. Little red saw 8 animals - 3 squirrels, 1 sheep, 2 fish, 1 goat, 1 wolf 4. Little red spoke 4 times: warm words to mr goat, “hello?”, “i suppose it is wolf season”, “wolf soup tonight” 5. Mushrooms are most likely to be found in little red’s basket because it is described as a mushroom basket. There was also a breadstick but she removed that from the basket when using it to fight the wolf. 6. Little red’s mood was triumphant
Game Theory (Animal Chess)
1. The squirrel cannot move diagonally. (The cat can move two horizontally followed by 2 vertically, the wolf could jump diagonally if an enemy piece was next to the destination, the rabbit can move diagonally) 2. A rabbit is worth 3 points 3. The cat can move safely to f1. All other cat moves can be attacked by the rabbits. d1 is safe but is not a legal move because it is less than two spaces from the cat. 4. The squirrel can capture an enemy.
Philosophy (Story of the Fox)
The intended interpretation of the story is that the fox failed to catch a hare so he tried to read a book with hare-catching tips but he got bored and fell asleep. When he woke he gave up on catching hares and went hunting for grapes. The fox ate some grapes but was distracted by thinking of red berries. The red berries were in a tree that the fox could not easily reach so the fox gave up again and justified this to himself by thinking that the berries probably taste bad. Since the fox failed at catching hares and climbing trees the fox eventually adopted a life of being at peace with nature, even though the fox would have preferred to eat hares.
1. The fox ate purple grapes from the fence. 2. The fox did not eat the red berries because the tree was too tall and he is not good at climbing trees. 3. The fox went hunting for grapes instead of hares because he is not good at catching hares. 4. The fox would prefer to be a hare hunter, since hare was the fox’s first choice. 5. The intended theme is “If you give up too easily, you will never reach your dream”. But we do admit that Dr. Fox with his hat is pretty cute. Geography
Note: There are two versions of this exam, chosen at random Note: Cajaxihid and Caxhjijd are two different provinces with similar names. Only one of them is an island.
1. Cajaxihid is the easternmost province / Boogugia is the southernmost province 2. Caxhjijd is not an island / 3 provinces are islands 3. Applestan and Pearladle do share a border / Fontam and Dunk do not share a border 4. Caxhjijd borders the most provinces (6) / Fontam is landlocked. 5. Applestan has one forest / Zamzim has three forests 6. Estria has no mountains 7. To get from Pearladle to Boogugia without crossing mountains requires 4 borders: Applestan, Estria, Zamzim, Boogugia
Languages
Note: For conjugation, there are two prefixes (oo and in), and two suffixes (ax and le). These conjugate separately so kookle has the oo prefix and the le suffix.
1. Prunk is cargo 2. Zapi is forest 3. 1st person plural of woogax is woogeth 4. 2nd person plural of kookle is kouklep. oo changes to ou similar to how woogax is conjugated and le changes to lep similar to how binkle is conjugated. 5. The question says that Joosip’s llama is afraid of water, so the solution is that Joosip might carry the llama across the river, which translates as “he binkloops the grimgram across the shwooh”. The other options translate as “he carries the cargo through the forest”, “he loves the forest by the llama” and “he loves the fear over the cow”. Some of the other options also have incorrect conjugation as another possible clue that they are wrong.

Incredibly creative and well executed!
It forces you to "study for real", pay attention to details. I got tired after playing a while, but that's mainly because it's 2 am :sweat_smile: I like studying and I'd like to play it thoroughly, I'm just not able right now.
So many good aspects -- I'll just highlight how realistic (hence immersive) sounds and graphics are. Well done!
I think this game is better with touch device... i am terrible at drawing with mouse and even more at writing... It was a suffering all the time... but I don't know why I wanted to continue and have the best legit grades at this exam ^^' Very good graphics and game overall.
okay ya this is awesome! when you give yellow + blue and then the next story is about lil Red: big time troll xD

A rare game genre. This game made my brain work hard :)
