Play as the Page Mage and venture deeper and deeper into a book, fighting monsters along the way and gathering powerups to ready yourself for the tower in the middle of the field.

Each level, or page, has letters in the middle, which can be gathered to be used as projectiles. Some of these are helpful words, which can either give you health, give you more hearts, or increase your bullet capacity.

Controls

- Arrow keys: Move around
- X: shoot

Use of jam theme (Deeper and deeper)

You journey deeper and deeper into a book.

Unfortunately due to the time constraints, I wasn't able to fully finish this.

While I'm pretty proud of what I made, the game still has its obvious flaws due to me getting overly ambitious during the jam yet again. For instance, the gameplay isn't fleshed out. Also, the tower was intended to end with a boss battle, but in the jam submission build, the tower's levels have no end, instead making the goal "venture through as many levels as you can".

So essentially, if you got a game over in one of the tower levels, that's pretty much it :)!
