I played this longer than I thought I would. nice concept, a bit more animation for a fanciness factor would be great

Nice idea. I like how it fits into the Connecting Worlds theme in many, many ways.

Surprisingly addictive with the 'real world' link. Makes we want to try using the Twitter API, so thank you for that also!

Nice mechanics.

I liked this game, but this was too hard! Great job though. :D

liquidminduk 2014-08-26 03:47

Interesting idea, I got pretty hooked quickly. I like text puzzles like this.
The game matched up really well to the theme! Great stuff

Nice job! It's interesting to figure out the way people talk on twitter when you look at a tweet all jumbled up like that.

It seems some amazing technology is used. I am not English speaker so this will be training of language for me :)

Great entry! Fantastic and really original idea.

ob6160 2014-08-27 08:08

Very different to other games entered but still fun nonetheless :)

Another typo theme interpretation, which turned out actually pretty fun and playable. Simple and addicting gameplay

Very interesting gameplay! Kinda hard with too much hashtags and links. Pretty cool entry!

Very fun innovative game. It really makes you appreciate how nonsensical some (most?) of these tweets are.
Definitely a favorite. Great job!

Occasionally I would get tweets like "@JamieFoxx [LINK]" which were... not difficult. But this was surprisingly fun. Graphics could be less minimal, though: it looks like a very boring Jeopardy ripoff atm. I got up to 109 before I failed, which is apparently on the high end?

teesquared 2014-08-30 21:11

@Thingo Studios yeah I think if you beat a score 100 in this one that is pretty awesome. There is no difficulty scaling so you need some luck to do it.

I like the cool, innovative idea and the connection with the real world. I generally like when games are made using unusual technologies, but I'm afraid this one didn't keep me interested for very long. It's awesome and fits the theme very well, even though the gameplay isn't the most exciting.

sk16games 2014-08-30 22:12

Haha really really fun and addicting game :D You should really consider making it an app (before someone else does it), I think that could get to be the next popular quiz-app!
Score: 83 :D

xgor 2014-08-30 22:21

Great idea and game.

infectionteam 2014-08-30 22:53

Ooh I love word puzzles, bookmarked to play some more later :D
Very original idea (as far as I'm aware), well done.

skiddings 2014-08-30 23:37

Surprisingly fun!

ganbaregames 2014-08-31 00:34

Amazing concept!

crefossus 2014-09-01 07:18

Good feedback when you get it wrong.

jukimv1986 2014-09-05 00:22

hahaha awesome!! now I want to know how did you do that. Well done!

jprogman 2014-09-10 04:10

Lol, nice way to turn Twitter into a game!
"Connected Words"... I got it. :)

beard 2014-09-11 01:10

I liked that this game is no where close to how I interpreted the theme. Nice work on coming up with something original, and great use of the theme. This is deceptively difficult.

awesomeusername 2014-09-13 19:19

Surprisingly interesting game, I like it.

Scored 98, so close. :P

barryrowe 2014-09-14 01:00

This is an interesting concept. it would have been nice to see more animation and some audio.
