Beautiful graphics. Unique concept. Really awesome job. I won in 24 moves!

increpare 2011-12-19 14:37

Yeah I liked this. :)

iforce2d 2011-12-19 17:46

I can see myself coming back to this again and again.

I always think there can't be any more original find-a-word-from-these-letters game ideas, and then someone clever like you surprises me.

waynebeam 2011-12-20 00:48

i like this one a lot

the-jack 2011-12-20 03:59

Astounding accomplishment for 48 hours, I can't even begin to imagine how this was done. Oh, hello source code.

frankiesmileshow 2011-12-20 06:43

Very cool idea!

matthias_zarzecki 2011-12-20 11:07

Ha, this is fun. And ridiculously hard.

shigor 2011-12-20 18:49

Good use of theme :) And quite nice puzzle

edibletoaster 2011-12-21 00:32

I'm really impressed with this. Great Job. This is one of my favorites so far!

drazzke 2011-12-21 21:37

Really enjoyed this game. Took a bit of time, but after a few tries I got it :D Graphics and Music all really look and sound great, too.

blueshaman 2011-12-21 23:26

Excellent in everything, except:
The small-masks of the buttons are driving me insane. They should be all the way to the edge. BALRAGAHGAHL.

But otherwise amazing.

Great concept and it really fits the theme. My only serious critique is that it took me several confusing games to figure out how to play. Clearer directions or a play example would be nice to add if you continue development after the jam.

mes 2011-12-22 04:55

nice game!

mattrix 2011-12-22 04:59

BlueShaman: thanks for pointing that out, small hit areas bug me too. I swear I made sure they were correct at one point, but I guess I screwed them up somehow later, heh.

ashkin 2011-12-22 06:27

Excellent, original concept. Audio and graphics fit with it well. SImple but brilliant.

meedoc 2011-12-22 14:31

a smart game! Good job!

8bitmatt 2011-12-22 20:48

amazingly simple and addictive. love it.

angrygeometry 2011-12-23 02:57

oh this is great! i love word games! excellent execution!

angrygeometry 2011-12-23 19:12

back here playing it again aaaaa

creath 2011-12-24 21:26

Yeah, I keep coming back to it, even though I know the trick to get it in 8 moves every time. It's seriously fun and addictive.

summaky 2011-12-26 14:46

Very creative take on the theme and very well done as well. As I am not a native English speaker sometimes I had problems finding out words, but I could manage most of the time.

rawbits 2011-12-26 19:34

15 moves. This game is really good in several ways! Thank you!

brighterorange 2011-12-31 17:57

Loved it! It's easy once you get the hang of it, but a very clever concept, smooth execution, and creative use of the theme.

PixelLoveStudio 2012-01-03 16:57

This game is nice but a bit too short. The 3D art is beautiful, the music reminds me of Myst or something. Anyway, 11 moves. :)

sonnybone 2012-01-05 20:34

This is fun as hell. You can make a KILLING with something like this for iOS/Android. DO IT!

ddrkirbyisq 2012-01-08 08:59

Well done! Turning interesting concepts into games and having the end result be really fun is always awesome. This is very well polished as well, can't say any complaints really.
