Stressful! But well done. Good tutorial.

That was a nice brain exercise that I failed miserably. Nice concept, it was fun to play.

Definitely a fun play on word games! I think you could definitely take this further and publish it to an app store or something!

I enjoyed that more than I expected! It was incredibly relaxing. I went into a complete trance while playing. Not stressful at all.

I feel like I could go for hours without losing, which may or may not be a good thing. I wonder what it would be like if that timer got shorter for each IT you found. In that way you would have to go faster and faster until you were at your limit.

Overall it was a fun, but very simple experience. A nice idea.

My only review:

You can make a game with that?

Wow, it's soo creative man! Simple game, good concept, nice simple sound effect.. Everything is fit.. Nice.. Very nice! But why my life is starting from 50%.. In my opinion it is good thing too, because it makes me really want to get 100% life.. Lol.. Okay.. And I don't know you can put a html5 game in google sites, haha.. Nice, nice..

A dyslexia nightmare. I thought the game was going to be about Information Technology. I was pleasently surprised. Well done!

Very clever use of the theme. Very engaging game with plenty of replayabilty - this is the sort of game that works great on mobile

Very fun and stressful, the sound effects are perfect for the atmosphere of it as well

I liked this more than I probably should have! The sound effect really sells the rushed atmosphere. Every time I made a mistake I felt like I was letting IT down! The tutorial was good too. It perfectly predicted that I (and I'm guessing most users) would miss the IT separated by other letters. Nice game!

Ha! So simple and stressful (in a good way) at the same time! I love your l**it**eral take on the theme.

I qu**it**e enjoyed my time playing **it**. The tutorial came in handy since I did not think to look for i and t separated by other letters. The sound along with the rotating made the game feel more **i**n**t**ense.

Great f**i**rs**t** jam entry!

Great job, very unique way to do the theme. I liked the way the sound added to the pressure of making choices. After the game, it would be cool if you could see the words you got wrong.

Yeah, going to look for *it* in everything I read from now on for a b*it*. Cool concept, nice spin on the theme.

That was an interesting one. Also great effects, it makes it quite scarry :D

Cool idea for a game. I was afraid to see a jump scare IT appear. Haha Thank you for the censored version as well :D

hwaet 2020-04-27 03:08

That hit a sweet spot for me. Just the right amount of time to feel pressure without completely messing up right away. Nice concept!

Very effective use of audio there, it caught me by surprise during the tutorial and really boosted the tension throughout. A simple, but interesting game idea. Nicely done.
