Absolutely loved this game. Wow it gets really hard though. The gameplay is well done and a lot of fun, and the overall vibe of the game is awesomely creepy. Really good job.

Obviously deep sleep is a fantastically creative take on the theme, so well done there. I like to think of myself as having a big, meaty vocabulary so I keep playing on hard, and I get destroyed every time. Exactly what an LD game should be, a simple concept with lots of polish.
love it. my longest word was queenfish , no spaces, not sure that is a word tho haha, i had d and l with minimum of 5 letters, i chose download and it said it wasn't a word. great game otherwise
Really enjoyed this game. Tried out each difficulty and will definitely go back again to try and better my score. Game concept is simple. It is an interesting and unique take on the theme 'deeper and deeper'. Great job!
Epic! Good luck!))

Really nice mood to this game! I am a huge fan of word games and I don't think I've played any with a "cannot contain" rule like this! It was really challenging and fun!
Clever and creative take on word games for the jam's theme! As you got deeper into the game I enjoyed how the mechanics started layering on the difficulty naturally. Was fun to try to skirt around the words available and it was able to handle me trying to cheat pretty well and punish me for it. Excellent sound design. The music and effects mixed well.
fun game! Wish my vocabulary was bigger.
I love it <3 ..even if as a non-native speaker my games were quite quick haha It's a great game to improve vocabulary, I wish the game gave me a word when I wasn't able to find one during easy mode !
It wouldn't load for me :frowning2:
Awesome entry! Love the sleep take on the theme, and I never would have thought of trying a vocab game. Gets really hard pretty quick! Good simple sound/visuals too!
@eboatwright That's unfortunate, maybe another browser might work better? Unity's web builds are really weird and sometimes break for people for weird reasons that are hard to anticipate.
@pixlark @osterzone @northerndonut @haydads @glitchman @goodwincek @kirbloid @famicon80 @ambeurk @saintchristopher777 - thanks so much, glad you enjoyed the game!
@smooches It's weird, because most other Unity games worked for me, but this one didn't. I don't know why. :frowning2:
What a great idea. This definitely got hard and had me thinking. My longest word was only xylophone lol.
I gotta say the art style is awsome!.
My longest word was "phonogram". Which is a word I didn't know I knew. I like this game.
Interesting take on the theme. I like linguistic games, but this one is tough! I would like to see more visual clues for constraints, for example you could use color to indicate the word that doesn't meet the criteria or forbidden letters. The game won't lose in intensity with such clues, but it will allow players to react slightly faster.
Visuals, sounds and music are all top notch, you really nailed it! :) Solid entry, will play again!
Here's a video playthrough if you're interested:

It's apparently very hard for me to think of words that have "x, v" in them on the spot!
@valid @eugenik @jlmast @kraemahz Thank you all for your comments, I'm glad you liked the game!
@yngvarr I'm so glad you had a great time with the game. I think those suggestions are all pretty good ideas and I'll play around with some stuff on my local build and then consider uploading an improved edition after the rating period is over. Unlikely anyone will actually play it at that stage but always best to have the best thing possible out there for people to see just in case. Thanks again and it was great to watch a video of someone else playing, I was fortunate enough to get some playtest feedback from friends before the deadline but that video is the first footage of a stranger playing I've seen and it makes me very happy!
