This game deserves more eyes on it. The way the menus flip and transition into the books is so clean. That first impression already impressed me. The hand-drawn / paper vibe is carried throughout all the games. The enemies, little environmental details, even the animations; nothing feels lazy. There are a bunch of small touches in there you don't notice immediately but they make the whole thing feel alive.

Usually, doing a 3-in-1 setup like that is risky. Often, one more feels more like the "real" one and the others tacked on. That's not the case here. The rouguelite feels tight and responsive. The platformer controller feels good (and yes, I noticed the coyote time lol). The driving section doesn't feel like an afterthought either. Controls are consistent and don't fight you.

Audio's solid too. The track fits the paper aesthetic surprisingly well, and the SFX are satisfying without being overbearing. It just feels polished across the board.

This is one of those entries that makes you wonder how it isn't higher up already. Definitely deserves more visibility. Really well done.

WOW, HOW DOES THIS NOT HAVE MORE RATINGS. 

You made three games, all with a leaderboard in the span of one week, and made it look amazing as well. This is an amazing effort you deserve more credit to. 

The gameplay is quite well done, short but well done. The theme is executed very neatly, and it's really fun. Audio was a bit off some times, but other than that it was great.

This game was awesome, five stars on most categories in my books.  Wonderful job!

This was pretty cool! and super underrated.. 
Only 13 ratings so far?!?!
My ranking for the games:
Platformer > Roguelike > Car game
(This is not cuz of the ranking i got tho xD)

I thought the platformer game was made pretty well!
It was polished and the levels (while not very unique) quite well designed

The roguelike game was also fun. I was expecting an ending tho lol and went for a few runs 
But I liked the basic structure and loop of it! But some of the walls were quite hard to notice. made of a very light stroke, They looked just like some other decor stuff but were walls

The one Id say i didnt like a lot would be the car game..
It had the same problem as the roguelike game, but here it actually affected the game negatively
It also didnt help that only this one felt stuttery to me (idk if it was just me or same for everyone but i did experience alot of stutter there. Maybe the camera moving issue?) Both the light stroke obstacles and the stutter made it very hard to navigate around

But, I gotta say, you went all in for presentation. I LOVED the artstyle and all the animations and details you put in!
The game honestly looks REALLY good!

 Also, idk if it was a mistake or intentional.. But only the platformer game has the close book button. The other 2 are missing them :P

I do think the theme implementation is a little weak tho

Like I get what you were going for, but if there was some explanation given, like you open a book and are stuck inside it.  Or you are in a strange library where any book you open, you actually enter it 
Rn, its just that you play as stuff in the books

Anyways, pretty well made games! I only really had problems with the car game. I LOVE the artstyle and the music!
Great work! Keep it up :D

I understood the car game issue with camera like 2-3 days ago. If you know Unity it has Update (every frame, depends on device) and FixedUpdate (60 timer per second) and if camera and objects aren't syncronized it becomes mess like here

I didn't make close buttons for car and roguelike games because you can leave them just by dying but now I think adding the close button would be good feature

Thanks for detailed feedback!

I loved the game. The game has its own style with these really cool handdrawn characters and nice sound effects. I was expecting some sort of connection between books but instead I see a leaderboard which made me want to play several times to get in to the leaderboard , and I dominated the leaderbord :)  . Games are seem a bit monotone but still I have a lot of fun playing them.   

And quick note: it took 2-3 mins to open the game .I first thouht there might be a problem with the game but it was fine when it was opened.

Thanks for detailed feedback. I know I always have problems with game loading and I still dont know what it's about: size of project (~120MB) or something else (some code issues, compiling settings). Maybe I should at least put some text on background loading

Wow I really enjoyed this one. It's very polished and all games feel good to play. The platformer was my favorite one, it has a nice difficulty progression!

What a wonderful game idea and art choice! Enjoyed all the levels so much, especially the rougelike!

This is such a great idea! Playing the games in books looks awesome, and I really like the fact that you can play different games depending on what book you choose, very expandable. Could see a whole library of them! Nice work, this is a cool entry.

Really clean; think it would've been cool if the games somehow fit together in one book. Also loved the inclusion of a leaderboard, but maybe having it prompt the player to change their name on start would be good, since a lot of the entries are just Player. Nice work!
