I'm either the greatest gamer alive or the game is just very easy, but the game is still pretty fun and cozy :)

Really cosy game. I really like the graphics and over all atmosphere <3

Really cute graphics. Its not very challenging, but kind of relaxing.

Pretty good! The little story was cute and the graphics were very impressive. I wish there was more depth to the gameplay. Introducing some additional mechanics instead of just fetching stuff would probably make it a bit more fun.

You know, I had a lot of fun with this. it has a ton of atmosphere and mood and although the gameplay is simple, there is a rhythm to it and a flow that goes with the aesthetic. I love the fact there is a story and it feels very polished as a game entry. there is only one bit I would make a suggestion about which is I kept wanting to press "Space" to drop the items at the counter instead of it being automatic, but that is just a personal preference. Nice work team!

I liked the story panels, very detailed and well crafted. I also like that after each level you scroll down to the next story element, nice touch. A simple game, although I don't really know how it fits the theme. Had a nice artstyle and fitting music though. Was expecting more than 1 customer at a time but never saw any change, so each level was just longer. I also don't know if their book selection is random or not.

I wonder if you do a worst job than perfect, if you get different story panels :thinking:

The credits scrolling through all the panels to get to the end was a bit of a shock though. I'd have though it'd just teleport there with maybe a fade to make it less jaring, instead of a pan. It does keep with the aesthetic of the game though, so maybe that was intentional

Overall decent little game, with a lot of room for expanding on a great foundation

The sprite art was really nice, i liked the relaxing cottage core vibes. I also liked the story book transitions

Nice game! Loved the art style. Good work!

Very relaxed atmosphere! I lioked the transitions between the days with the story. Took some time to realize i gave the books the customers. At first I thought i was too slow, because they run away before i could press a button. All in all i had a great time playing. Thank you!

Good art and music, I like that cat :kissing_cat: , well done!

I love the simple and coherent art and the sound. Really relaxing to play. I think such a library keeper framework can involve some more mechanismd about different clients and different features of the books to make the game process not that repeated. Good job in total.

How sweet! I really like the storybook style you chose, and the scrolls between levels provided a nice transition and a reason to keep playing and root for our little heroine. It's a simple gameplay loop, but fitting with the mood you were going for, and perfect for getting into a little groove for a minute. Nice work!

I like your art style. And I'd really like to pet a cat!!!

You want a book on Batman? Ive got you covered. It was a cute story with library in the middles.

jinbu 2023-10-07 07:43

The game is well polished. Mechanics are simple. Art is very well done!!

mycookie 2023-10-07 07:50

Very polished, I like the concept. Maybe a feature to randomize the items in the shop so you never know where items are located.

mcmuniz 2023-10-07 12:28

Aaah I love how cozy it is! The music, art, and gameplay fit really well together

kobato-games 2023-10-09 21:01

This was a beautiful relaxing game, though was confused to see you were accepting ratings on Theme since (unless I missed it) there was no reference to limited space.

skel3ton 2023-10-11 19:07

great relaxing game with great music... it's a shame that it will soon become repetitive and too simple

nice story and all the graphics are awesome

cd7 2023-10-14 01:59

Great music and I love how adding a cat instantly makes any scene cozy lol :)

Great ideea! Definetly can be shaped a bit and turned into a huge game. The kitten is really cute, loved the game!
