What an interesting take on a word making game. Your collission detection was amazing and I loved how the game fluidly moved; brilliantly done.
Personally found it a tad hard to "actively" make words that made sense and would be recognized, but I understand how difficult that must've been to make. So I'd say good job, excellent game; really creative!
Very interesting concept, and absolutely great use of theme!
nive concept, but it felt like you biyt off more than you can chew
What a clever use of the theme and such an unusual word game. Great job!
What a good idea and great execution! Not my type of game but I can see the potential. Very easy to understand and works exactly as expected!
Very chill game. It runs well and I didn't encounter any bugs. While I probably wouldnt spend my time playing it on PC, this could be great time killing mobile game idea:D
What I'd like to see is biased/pity RNG system where the letters generated are more likely to help player make words after a while. I only played for about 5-10 minutes but sometimes I was really lacking vowels :D Maybe you already have something like this and it's just my confirmation bias. You could check what is vowel to consonant ration in english language and adjust your rng to that or just go by dictionary.
Nice feeling with the music and backgrounds.
LOL, I didn't realize that you could use a space bar to detach letters. :D I'm gonna go back in and try again.

OKAY second time's a charm. THIS GAME IS AWESOME, I love word games and it was so fun zooming around waiting for your the letter I really wanted. So much replay value, too. So good!!!
The mechanics, sound, graphics and mood of the game are brilliant. Although I'm absolute hog wash at word games so my fun is naturally dragged down unfortunately, I think the execution was really cool. Well done.
That was fun! More challenging than I expected =). I tried *really* hard to spell "nothing", got as far as "thing" before, yeah.
Sometimes letters got stuck between my attached letters and jittered around a bunch, felt like the framerate dropped, but maybe it was just the jittery trapped letters that made it feel that way.
I like the idea, I'm not a native speaker, but I could do something.
Very nice! Like some other people I also missed the detach thing at first (it's clearly mentioned, so this is entirely on me!) and if you don't detach weird things happen if the blob gets too big, but that's not a big issue as that's not what you're supposed to do anyway.
One thing I would definitely have liked is support for arrow keys and not just wasd, I still can't get used to those...
Interesting idea! The sound effect is in great mood. Rather than controlling the letters dynamically, I would prefer a turn-based mechanism so that I can have more time thinking about words and combination as a non-native speaker.
i realy like that idea. havent realy seen anything like this, nice twist on the theme. :dog:
Beautiful game and clever mechanic, felt both challenging and relaxing at the same time
Good idea!
