I really like this game, I think it's impressive you managed to get this done early. I found the movement a little tricky at first, but that's probably because I was testing it on my own. Also I'm not sure how practical it will be to play with 4 players on a standard keyboard.
I like the idea, everything worked fine, I especially like the little reload by going over to the bookshelf mechanic. My favorite thing about the game was seeing the names of the classic books you included and gave special abilities. It might be too much work but I think it'd be really cool if all the books were named.
Fun party game! Throwing books all over :D My favorite thing is that if you miss with a book others can pick it up. Odd tank-like controls, but still very solid.
I liked the fact that taking books off the shelves took time while picking up your opponents (or your own) thrown books was instantaneous. Tank controls felt a little weird, but I can see why throwing at any angle is necessary in a game like this.
Can't quite rate this game because I have no 2nd player T_T But still it seems like a good game! Controls are a bit tricky but I guess with some practice it should be ok! Good job!
Looks really good for multiplayer. One problem with having 4 people pressing and holding down keys on the same keyboard is that all keys will not respond. Gamepad inputs would be nice.
I checked it out, but didn't try with other players. The turn/walk movement is sort of tricky, but given the attack I understand the reason for it. I liked that powerups were tied to specific (real-world) titles.
Pretty cool game! Me and my bro played it and had a nice match. This could me transformed into a local network game, or into a web game, where you can play with people on the internet. Maybe make bigger maps and such? Nice submission!
Hah, fun and action-packed! The controls were good, and I like how you had to look at the book shelves to get the books. I feel like some expanded mechanics would have helped make the game more replayable.
