It was a fun little game.
Interesting with both design trick and the hints of each level. Tips, the level number can turn into typing energy which is a really cool design.
Interesting concept. There turned out to be no connection between the letters I was destroying and the letters I was typing, which threw me for a bit. Also, I assumed (as in regular hangman) that repeated letters would all show up when I typed them, which was not true. Finally, I gave up on PEN APPLE when it wouldn't let me type, but I see in comments that I could probably have nuked the level name and number to get another letter. I wasn't really sure why I had to earn letters in that way - there wasn't a challenge or time limit or anything, so it was just some extra work to do. The clues were fun, although I'd stay away from politics with this.
@dob Thanks for your kind and nice feedback! Actually the idea was "Can I break the texts?", when I tried to made some narrative games I feel really stuck and frustrated. So I changed for a relaxed and simpler game and didn't polish it up. I agree the "text power" and "same letter" things are misleading and I think that's the main problem for now since there's no hint for these information.
Really neat idea. Busting up the letters was fun, even if I could restart as much as I wanted. Played through all the levels, and had a lot of fun figuring out(and sometime brute forcing) the answers. Great work!
I really love the connection between hints and correct answers! Plus, the num of level can be destroyed is a super cool design.
nice, I struggled to understand what was going on at first but I stuck with it and got pretty far. Great job
Solid idea! Nice take on the classic hangman by introducing hints. The pixel (voxel?) destruction animation felt good. Cool ending colors!
@afroant Glad to see you cleared all levels!
Fun game. I love the twist on the hangman formula and that you had to destroy your hint to type it out.
This is a very clean game. Juice is great very responsive fun to play. I think having to guess the same letter twice to get both instances of it isn't how hangman is typically played, but I had a lot of fun. Well done
Interesting and incredibly polished game, but honestly, the theme integration got a bit annoying. A lot of the puzzles were pop culture based, and I found myself mashing the keyboard and restarting until an answer came out. Because I haven't watched Steins Gate, and didn't care about Minions enough to guess banana (sorry for spoilers...), I ended up cycling through the alphabet. It would have been nice if the puzzles were more general knowledge or actually riddles / puzzles instead of a pop culture quiz. Still though, the ones I understood were really fun, but the mindless wandering and consequential guess, check, restart, destroy text got a bit annoying, especially on the levels where not much 'typing power' was provided.
My favourite puzzle was the tutorial one, because it made me feel smart when I filled in the gaps. :thumbsup:
好难猜啊！不是母语的字谜~有点点提示就好啦！创意超级棒！特别是第一关还是个教学说明文字，结果游戏已经开始了
@justcamh Thank you! The riddle culture problems were also mentioned by other players, this is mainly caused by my unfamiliar about English culture. @nickykendy 谢谢，其实我对英语圈文化也不是很懂，所以有些谜其实写的也挺牵强的，主要是展示一下玩法啦。
