Pretty relaxing, but some of those were harder to figure out than I expected. Appreciate the note on author ordering as that really helped me. I also found it funny that when I knocked a book off to focus on another one, sometimes it would infinitely keep landing and falling off again. Overall great job!

Don't have much to say that hasn't already be said before. Really cool cozy little game! Took me a lot of googling though haha

Submitted

This game is actually so good, very polished, fun. Something I would get on steam.

I never thought organizing books would be this fun! Awesome game, well done

very polished game! the physics are pretty nice to goof with

Submitted

that's a pretty awesome game!

Super polished! Your game is truly a gem, and it is one of my favorite from this jam :)

Simple and fun. Great job!

This game is awesome! Might be my favorite of the jam so far. A really simple idea, well executed and well polished is such a good direction for a game jam game. Looking at the screenshots, it seems like the game gets to some pretty crazy places? I'd love to see faster progression towards that if so, because this game is satisfying and addictive enough that I'd want to keep returning if the levels were varying. 

Also, you and your friends have great taste in books, seeing some of my favorites was really cool. 

Great music choices as well, really drove the game home. The books look great, the visual design is all really clear.

Fantastic work :)

This is a fantastic game! My mum is a librarian so it hit homes ahaha

felt pretty awesome and polished!! I am not familiar with all of these books, which sometimes made it hard to sort them by series, but it's fine I think - you can just deduce it a lot of the time. Seeing Dune though made me happy for some reason :) Good job!!

Well executed. Not really my cup of tea though. It took be a little while to figure out that the method of ordering keeps changing. Also if your not familiar with the books in question, you often have to guess the correct series order. (Nice touch using real world book though.)

Its only February, but this is a Game Jam Entry of the Year candidate. 11/10

A simple concept with great execution. Sorting the books was quite relaxing, and picking up and placing the books was intuitive and the book physics felt great.

what a very well made game !! 

it's a very smart take on the theme . the sfx , the visuals and the relaxing background music all are amazing .

 it took me a while to exactly understand what I was supposed to do , so maybe adding a small tutorial would help ( I was dumb to the point I didn't know if I should sort the books from the higher values to the lower ? or the other way around XD ) , but anyway I really had a great time .

and as someone else pointed out it was really hard to notice some info like the series order . 

Iam really amazed by how polished this game is . overall a really great submission !!

Submitted

This was really cute!  I like the idea a lot. Ironically, my wife used to be a book publisher and now she manages a book store, so sorting books is second-nature in my house :)

Feels really polished

This is great.  One piece of feedback, maybe make the objective or goal larger or more prominent.  I failed the first couple because I wasn't quite sure what my objective was and didn't notice it right away.

I wonder if you could incorporate bonus points in some way by using details from the books?  So it someone is a really voracious reader, they could answer questions or have some incentive for reading the books displayed?  This could also be great for kids or young readers.
