Awesome idea. It's really interesting and all the words are used differently, good.

Despite the simple graphics I actually think this is a clever game. I would like to see the idea of using the letters to build up weapons and items fleshed out into a full game. gj

Liked the idea of using words/letters as weapons and can totally see a potential of improving upon this idea into a lot of things. :)

Nice wordplay (in a literal sense). The concept is pretty well done too.

Very cool little game, I love the idea. I just wish there were more words! :P

Really loved the concept. turning words into weapons was a pretty cool idea.

Very interesting! Got a little slow for me on level four but overall pretty great. I've seen a lot of word themed weapons, and this is one of my favs. Great job!

Really cool idea. Interesting way to put words into a game.

This is awesome! The concept is really good and the puzzles were interesting. With more puzzles, this game would be perfect. Good job!

Everyone should try this game. This is an amazing idea.
As a designer, I was at first really "meh" by the graphics... let's face it! They are really "basic". But fortunately I decided to open the link and try the game... And I found wonderful ideas, innovative gameplay (the GUN level is my favorite) and funny mechanics.

Everyone should give this game a try. Good job. Thumbs up!

Really clever game. I'm on a phone right now so I appreciate the touch controls too. But I can't seem to be able to move on level 4

> But I can't seem to be able to move on level 4

@dydx I saw that problem too when I tested on an iPad--it took more than 20 seconds to load level 4, but when it loaded it played OK. It was much faster in an earlier iteration when the bad guys were squares instead of texts. Perhaps I could speed up loading if I cached the text graphics as images??? Anyways, thanks for the report!

Very clever! A little light on gameplay, but I thoroughly enjoyed this. =)
