I like the small details y'all put into the environment. It gives the game some more charm. The gameplay loop was fun. It was especially interesting because you start to learn the patterns after a bit, which feels really good. That being said, wish that the game ramped up in difficulty a bit more.

I really liked how u turned out the idea of \"bird healer in the castle\".\nA few small notes regarding the submission:\n\n- Looks like .zip build on itch.io is very unfinished or broken. It's lacking interactive books and lots of UI elements. HTML version is nice and up-to-date.\n  \n![bird1.jpg](\/\/\/raw\/6ca\/c\/z\/64f0a.jpg)\n\n\n- Regarding the book UI itself. While being opened, player is still able to hit combo and succeed further. So it is a bit easier to proceed the game (which is totally fine). The only thing is - player don't see the bird animation since book takes the top layer on the screen. As a minor suggestion, it would be great to make a book smaller or half-transparent to see the bird while it is opened. Or, perhaps block the input when book is opened to add more gameplay sense to such restriction.\n  \n![bird2.jpg](\/\/\/raw\/6ca\/c\/z\/64f10.jpg)\n\n\n- I got a small bug(someone already has mentioned it above) with infinite combo input without success\/fail condition. But it has really low reproducibility so it's not a problem :wink: \n  \n![bird3.jpg](\/\/\/raw\/6ca\/c\/z\/64f11.jpg)\n\nOverall, I really enjoyed your game. Comments above are rather small notes that doesn't impcat the overall great exepriance.
