nice. wish there was sound!

I like the graphics and it's a very cool gameplay idea!

Neat idea, but when I typed shields after my first sword battle, I didn't get any shields?

Also, the animation for the mage to come to the next battle takes a bit too long.

And lastly - I've tried a bunch of various words but can't figure out what to write apart from sword or shield, which greatly diminishes the fun.

Strong on theme, but any cheat-sheet on the words? It took me a while to even work out which side I was playing. The graphics are gorgeous.

That was a really neat concept! Got a bit easy when all they were spawning with was swords and I could just take them away, but the idea is really cool!

Thanks everyone for the feedback! Updated the description with the list of words available.

I like this concept.

The only extra word I have found so far is 'enemy'. It didn't help, but it was pretty funny.

wdebowicz 2013-12-20 15:38

Funny concept. More possible words would improve it.

vaelzan 2013-12-20 16:39

Interesting one. I really like the concept here but I was a bit confused because the spell removes all of a type of item, it doesn't leave them with a type it like you said in the description. Graphics were great, love the style. Combat felt a bit luck-based. Would love to see this game expanded upon because it looks like a solid idea :)

Very good idea, and the graphic style is awesome

I like the use of the theme in a quite novel way. However I found it hard to see what the enemies were holding in their hands. I tried some times, but never got very far.

Cool concept, I like the way the characters are designed. Nice work !

sebastian 2013-12-21 17:01

Very neat idea, needs more word possibilities to keep my attention though. Cute graphics ;)

lordhellmax 2013-12-22 01:46

Wow that was weird! Very luck based, but idea is good.

diptoman 2013-12-22 09:42

That was a very unique take on the theme. And damn, the gfx are beautiful. This idea could be made into a gorgeous adventure!

thepsc1997 2013-12-24 09:30

I like graphics and idea (and gameplay)... Something other, and very good ;)
But without available words list I have problems ;p
Seriously thank You for list ;-)
Develop full game with more words, sounds and other things! ;)

xanjos 2013-12-24 18:42

Too bad there's no sound but I absolutely loved the gameplay concept and the graphics were really pretty to look at.

dodobird 2013-12-25 15:59

Very unusual game :)

ViliX 2013-12-27 10:42

5/5 for fun and innovation :)

iiechapman 2013-12-28 23:28

Hey there, wanted to let you know I updated the game to fix the problem you were having!

Even as simplistic as it is, graphically speaking, the mood is great and the concept is very interesting.

hadesfury 2014-01-02 15:00

Need more words :D

bradleysmith 2014-01-06 16:59

I really like the quirky 3D art style in this, really neat and fairly unique gameplay mechanic too. Rated highly. :)
