I love skill tree clickers like this! 🥰
At first the tree navigation felt a bit strange to me, but damn, it is so convenient! It was a bit annoying that opening the book restarted me from the beginning instead of where I left off. Especially when I was already pretty far along, but that is a minor detail.
Beautiful art style. Drawn with soul. Especially the helpers. Great job! ❤️

Really fun and well-designed little incremental! It pulled me in for a while:)
Nice incremental clicker! I was thrown by the skill tree interface at first, it looked broken with the crease in the book running through the option. I figured it out quickly though. Had a lot of fun playing it! I really enjoyed the peaceful music, too.
Academia is nuts! 😄 Made it all the way to the Nobel Prize. Thanks for the game!

A good ol' clicker is always a welcome sight among jam games! A very solid entry. Loved the gnomes! Academia is nuts!
Academia is indeed nuts!

The game is really enjoyable, with great sound effects and music. I also like the idea of choosing between investing in automation and upgrades. Nice game!

Cool incremental game, or better said, "Academia Is Nuts!" The skill tree took a little time to get used to, and maybe adding a small cooldown after each click could help keep the game balanced when using autoclickers. It would also be nice if the arrows in the shop next to the buy buttons were functional. Overall, though, I really enjoyed the game! I love the idea and the graphics. Great job!

The concept and atmosphere are really cool, but consider working on the UX or player comfort, especially menu navigation and the incessant click spam.

I really enjoyed the game! It's a solid incremental game with cozy visuals to boot.

A cute auto clicker game! I love the sfx for the gnomes! Also, did you implement dynamic music? It felt like the music changes along with my inventions. Cool stuff!

It felt unbalanced, the middle one was easily outpaced by the other two, even with 10 Thinkers and only 2 each Inventors and Scribes. Balancing an incremental is hard though, especially in the short dev time of a jam.

Nice little clicker! I really like the art style! Unfortunately, the sound effects are a bit annoying, but that didn't stop me from playing all the way to the end. Great job!
Really love the art style! It immediately reminded me of those old Flash games I used to play as a kid. There's something so nostalgic about the hand-drawn graphics, especially the little characters and all the small details. It really brings back memories of spending hours playing random games on the internet.
I also like how the whole clicker concept fits with the skill tree and upgrades. It's simple but pretty satisfying to see everything progress. The game has a really cozy, old-school feeling to it, and I enjoyed that a lot. Thanks for bringing back a bit of my childhood!
