That's so cool :grin: It's a really unique interpretation of the theme.\n\nThe exercise book aesthetics are quite appealing. The game plays well, and I like the fact that those things you buy can be picked up by someone else than your chosen one if you're not careful. Maybe some tooltips with a short item description on mouse-over would be nice. I inadvertently killed my first chosen one with a wolf, as I thought it's a medallion that will give him courage or some such, and it turned out to be a beat that ate him :laughing: \n\nThere are some performance problems on Firefox (on Widows). The game tends to lag.\n\nAnyway, very nice entry! I had fun playing.
