Congrats on the submission! I think it would be improved if the letters you already guessed were shown on screen, and that you couldn't guess them again (though this way makes it more of a challenge). Also, if you could have a restart button after the game ends? When I lose, it just keeps showing the same pop-up over and over.
Congrats on making a game! It was challenging playing hangman with a language I don't know. It would be cool if afterwards it showed the definition of the word so I could learn new words!
[edited review in other comment]
I like the simplistic graphics. I pressed letters that were in the word, but it did not show up. The language I have never heard of? Never the less good job! Keep making games!
@sayumeki Thanks for the suggestions. Will update.
@adamv Thanks. This requires a little more effort to add definitions, the wordlists are quite ong, but should be possible for shorter more carefully choosen wordlists.
@stickle Thanks for trying. What went wrong? What happened when you pressed keyboard letter keys?
@guille Thanks for playing. More information on Kiswahili https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swahili_language Updating so that pressed letters are known
@bkmld Oops my bad, I pressed a few keys and it does seem to be trigging this time. Probably just me being an idiot. Strangely I was still getting letters wrong (parts added to the stickman)even if they were right. Nice job on the game! (also I searched umezungukwa online and I'm only getting song results. Curious on what it means)
@stickle Thanks for the update, automatic translation tools indicate you have been surrounded. The root verb is "Kuzunguka", to go around/circle.
@bkmld Oh cool :)
my screen was cut for some reason and I didn't see the entire word
I didn't know how to guess since I don't really know the language.
also the popups are a little bit annoying :) I wish there were more sounds and effects to make it fun.
I mean even by using basic HTML and maybe Jquery libraries you can achieve great results for this.
you clearly used what you are comfortable using. good job.
@abdurrahman-khallouf Thanks for trying it out and making suggestions. Will fix the issues you mentioned in an upcoming version - cannot fix things in the release version currently undergoing evaluation. Alerts are very old school I guess.
Congrats on making a game! It would help a lot if the words definitions were displayed afterwards. Good job ^^
thought it would be impossible for me, but did seem to learn/guess enough of the phonetics eventually to be able to get a few correct! nice [: maybe could show the meaning of the word after?
@jdk2209 Thanks for the feedback.
@mhsco Glad for the feedback. Will add translations, though initially may use an automatic translation service.
Interesting idea, making everything with javascript.
Unfortunately it's really hard to play hangman when you don't know any of the words.
Hey ! nice game ! a little bug : i got the same alert box telling me i've win, it keep appearing when i close it. Otherwise, good job !
Jambo. Asante sana
@flying-dog-fish Thanks for the feedback. Hopefully translations which will be added for future versions will help.
@grigri-games Thanks for trying it out. Will remove alert box in future version.
