Very fun word puzzle game! Awesome job!
dang. That was soooo addictive. The graphics look so good too! the only bad point about the game I could think of was that the animations were a bit static. good job y'all
Really cool! The dragging is a little odd sometimes, but overall I really like it.
This is a very clever, in my opinion, take on Tetris. It has the same vibe but in a new and fresh way! The graphics are on point, and the music is very chill. If I had a suggestion to make, it would be nice to have a tutorial; however, the gif here helped me to understand what I needed to do. Overall, very nice job!
Amazing game! I loved the different hacks and unique drawbacks that came with them. I did find it a bit difficult to move some of the letters, but other than that, great work!
A fun word game. The modifiers feel inspired by rouge-likes to increase replayability, and the music is relaxing to let you focus on the problem solving.
Dragging letters into any middle position was tricky for me, I think I had to drag a letter one spot past where I wanted it to go.
Nice simple concept! I didn't want to stop playing.
Very fun! The dragging was quite frustrating at times though. I would have liked to have the words revealed after losing too. Thanks for the game, great work!
A lot of love for the detail in the UI. The choices are also a nice addition to an already fun wordle-like game.
Fun, though I'm really terrible at it. The tip to play in full screen helped, made the letter moving a bit easier.
@raphaeltan Thanks for playing the game! The animation does look pretty static, we originally had more animation planned out but didn't have enough time to add it. We will try our best to add it in a post-jam version :D
@ideaspersecond Yes! the game is a "twist" on tetris, thanks for playing! We have a tutorial panel that can be opened through the question mark button on the top left. We will consider adding that to the title screen as well.
@str0nkyk0ng Thanks for the comment! We are planning to fix the letter moving system post jam, stay tuned for a smoother animation :)
@nbumgardner Thank you for the comment, we will try to make the experience better in the post jam version. Thank you for the comment on the music as well, the audio person wasn't sure what vibe she was going for :')
@joey-van-lierop Thanks for playing! That's an excellent suggestion to reveal which words the player lost on, we'll add that to our update list.
I'm a big fan of word games, and this did not disappoint. The abilities were very well chosen - they deeply affected how I played the game in the more advanced levels.
@radetech yeaa... we still have issues with implementing UI on different screen sizes, so you have to play on full screen to get the full experience. thanks for playing!
@beetlebox thanks for the kind words!
That's a really nice word game, the visuals and sounds are very pleasant and relaxing !
Nice game! i have fun playing it! Come and see mine and rate it!!
Whoa, such a cool game! I love word games but it's so rare to have one that feels stressful. It's really unique, great job!
Unfortunately I ran into a bug on Stage 3. I had selected the hack which hides everything except for the bottom row, but it decided to just hide everything lol decrypt_screen_covered.png
@bougiebirdie Thanks for the feedback and screenshot of the bug! We will get on the bug fix right away. I applaud you for getting to stage 3! (artist of the game struggles to get to stage 2)
I really like the aesthetic of the game! The visuals and the sound is a perfect fit for this type of gameplay. Somehow managed to find a bug: CgWs50D.png
Other than that, it is a very solid jam entry!
absolutely beautiful visually. satisfying gameplay except that the controls for swapping letters are very either finnicky or unclear, i was consistently knowing where i wanted the letters and unable to drop them there. in general could do with some tutorial text. still blown away by the aesthetic & feel and really escalates the basic word game.
@x000000 , If possible, can you tell me what hacks(upgrades) you took if you took any?
@x000000 Thanks for playing! bonus points for discovering a bug haha! we will get on the fix.
@jess-from-online Thank you so much for the kind comment! there's a tutorial panel if you click on the question mark on top left, we should make it more noticeable. Thanks for the feedback.
@chan-gim, it was very beginning without any perks. I was simply clicking and dragging things to figure out how controls work.
@chan-gim Oh yeah, of course. The first one made it so the last letter was always in the correct position, and the second hack was to instantly drop the word
I really like this game, it was so fun! At times the letters feel difficult to move, so it can make it feel a little unfair. The visuals were great though, one of my favorite games so far!
Thanks @bougiebirdie & @x000000.
This is a great concept, would love to see a fleshed out version!
Having multiple words to solve stacked up together is a great mechanic. I think there's a ton of potential here for an addictive casual puzzler.
Very polished presentation! Love the whole vibe of the game.
The biggest problem for me is that moving the blocks around felt quite buggy. And while it's a good use of the theme, 10 seconds felt a little too slow, I think it would be improved by letting me cruise through words faster.
I really want to play the V2 version of this game!
Very fun word game. I love how clean the art and animation is. For future expansion I would love it to be able to stack higher and have bonus words in-between the normal 10 second ones. Great job!
A fun and smart game!
@anniv4x @georgy16 @lautilaj @firebelley @flonotone thanks for playing!
@protowlf :OOOO you must be cracked at unscrambling! thank you so much for the feedback, we will keep working on it. It is a little hard to gauge whether 10 seconds is too long or too short for different players, we will try to balance it out more.
@paul-avallone Thank you! that's a great suggestion, we will add that to our list :D
I like the minimalistic UI
The UI is very stylish, and I like the music. They both fit the mood very well!
I love word puzzle games. This one is a hit for me. Very entertaining even when I started to panic as they stacked up.
@georgy16 @wavertron @chitoyuu @lady thank you for the compliments!
Great idea, and minimalistic art.
Aesthetics really elevate this simple game idea to another level. Music and sound design is also on point - creating a mysterious but quite calming atmosphere.
I also like that words used are so simple that it does not become an issue for players whose main language is not English.
The only major feedback I have is that dragging and moving letters could use some polish. It is sometimes very hard to gauge where the letter will end up when you drag it. Some kind of indicator between the letter would probably solve this quickly.
But overall, great work!
Very good concept! As a non-native english speaker it was a bit complicated but I really enjoyed this anyway. The aesthetic is great and the music fits very well. Well done, you delivered a solid game :)
Nice minimalistic game, quite addictive I have to say :D Great work!
@zakroutil @pusheeneiro Thanks for playing!
@nash Thank you for the feedback! We are trying to figure out a way to make the dragging mechanic feel smoother and more intuitive, the indicator suggestion really helps!
@asue Thanks for the comment! That was a worry we had as well, but during playtesting some native english speakers were struggling as well haha (i won't say who :face_palm_tone1:) We will keep testing to see if there are certain words that are too hard in our word bank!
Cool game, a very novel theme, despite having a few other typing based games, this one is rather different to those! Nice work!
As others have said the dragging of letters is the only thing that feels off but other than that this is really fun, I swear some words just don't exist in my brain haha. Great job with the music and overall style for this, I think the words stacking every 10 seconds is really innovative for this kind of game and adds some unique pressure trying to solve multiple words at once.
Nice game! Great mood and the audio and visuals worked well together. I expected letters to switch when dragging, if you wanted to keep this control scheme I feel having the other letters part when hovering to help indicate where you're going to place the key could help. I'd also have liked to see the answers for the words I didn't get on game over - as I'm still not sure what some of them were! The stacking mechanic is great, lets you get overwhelmed but means you don't lose time invested on a word (for example, if word was removed when you ran out of time, it'd had felt more punishing and less fun)
Very nice game, I struggled with the words sometimes. The music is very fitting. The visuals are nice and clean. I ran into some bugs with the auto-solve upgrade, one time I was pulling around a letter in a word that got solved and then I couldnt do anything in that row anymore, right after it solved a word at the top of the screen while the next word appeared and the got squished together. Overall great game, great entry.
Genuinely really fun - great entry :)
@thegamearchitect thanks for trying it out!
@excy I feel you, I'm losing my mind over these words.. thanks for playing!
@honest-dan Your feedback is really helpful!! thank you so much for the ideas. We will definitely keep working on it.
@steamdr4gon Oh no, sorry for that! that sounds frustrating, we will add that to our bug fixing list. Thanks for letting us know c:
@m11 thanks for playing!
Menus are so pretty! Great job on UI. I ran into a bug with the 3 lines where the top one overlapped the second row. Anyway gameplay was really fun, although maybe a bit too much on the difficult side. I would have liked an ability to auto-solve words I couldn't figure out, maybe as a limited skill or something, cause I just ended up having some words stuck there for the whole run.
Very good amount of polish! I know how hard these UI type games can be to make, and how easy it is for bugs to turn up all over!
Very appealing UI and color scheme. I encounter few bugs when the words stuck together. But overall enjoyed! Nice work!
Beautiful entry! We don't see enough good word games! This felt like a stressful rogue-like word game mesh. Really really cool. Found the bug with overlapping words which made the game harder. Still a solid entry!!
Nice graphic design ! It's a bit tricky to intervert the blocs. I expected to be able to drag them in between instead of switching them.
Well designed UI and overall style.
A very addictive game. i loved the art and the sound effects. Simplicity is strength. Congrats!
Lotta fun! Got a little bit buggy when I was moving to complete a word that auto-completed because I had the upgrade that solves the longest word every 25 seconds - I ended up with a letter stuck to my cursor whenever I moved to the bottom row, and as a result couldn't move anything in the bottom row any longer. Otherwise, I love the concept of this game, and great job nailing the theme!
The game looks good, the music is nice, and the gameplay is fun. One problem I have is when I move a letter between 2 letters, sometimes it does not work and snaps back to its original position. Other than that, great submission.
Nice and simple word game, it limits me not being a natural english speaker, but it playable, looks nice and it's a great idea! check out my jam game!
Honestly I think this could be an excellent mobile game! Main complaint is re-ordering the letters, otherwise I quite enjoyed playing.
Looks and feels great, and is fun to play. Great.
I really like the theme, cyberspace hechyeah. The concept of a stacking word game is fun.
I wish that there would be a line indicator, where I'm about to drop the letter. I think that could make it a lot easier to move the letters around. But I understand.. we all made this in limited time :sweat_smile:
Really solid entry. UI fells like playing released game. Sounds and design are very polished too. Good job!
Very interesting disclosure of the theme and design. The mix of wordle, tetris and rogue-lite pumping mechanics plays dynamically. I realized for myself how bad my English is and how many words I still don't know. Also, it was funny when the future word "BACK" originally came out as "KBAC", which in Russian means "kvass" (such a drink) and for a few seconds could not stand still and could not understand why it does not disappear. On the second level, ran into a bug when one word layered on top of another and could not make out what is what (I attached a screenshot) Decrypt.png I think I'm not the first who reported that only in full screen mode works fine moving letters. Thanks for the gaming experience, I hope you will not abandon this prototype and after some time it will be possible to see it on mobile platforms.
p.s I think the difficulty curve should be made more casual, for example, in the first levels of 3-4 letters, so the player could get used to and get used to the mechanics
Good luck to you!
@shiro-white @mrmaico @ramelio @karen-shum Thank you guys for all the comments on the UI!! We will continue to polish it so those bugs won't be there anymore :D
@nyxkn one of the hacks in the later stages gives out that ability, but it's random, maybe we should let players equip a skill they want to start out with? thanks for the feedback!
@jackofcups We just discovered that bug too! Thanks for reporting it to us c:
@john-llyod-apolo @pinnyo @asbjorn Thank you for the feedback :D The letter dragging system is top priority on our fix list! :wrench:
@motti We will consider adding word banks for different languages, I think that's a good addition!
@birdy-games @helzinko Thanks for playing!
@hellsquirrel Oh wow I didn't know that, that's pretty funny. The overlapping letters and dragging letter bugs are definitely some common ones amongst many others :((( who knew that UI dominant games could have more troubles than regular games. thank you for the feedback! We will keep working on it for sure c:
Love the simple, but greatly executed, art style, plus the audio fits very well, which creates a nice mood.
Very pretty, love the moodiness of it too. I'd be really curious to see a spoiler for the word list in a round as some folks have mentioned, because a few combinations I had zero idea what the word was. Great concept though, "roguelike wordle" was definitely not something I would have though of!
hackscore.png
Game with an interesting concept. It's fun to race against time to form the correct word. I had a little trouble controlling the position of the letters at first, but then I seem to get it.
Overall the graphics are simple, minimalistic, and beautiful. Good job!
Fun scrabble timed game, chill graphics, would like to see more progression. Found game breaking bug where one word overlapped another
Really solid execution. The rogue like elements are a nice touch to add diversity and replayability to the concept.
Really nicely implemented word game. I love games like this, reminds me of TextTwist back in the day (the olds will remember). The mechanics were very well-thought-out. I got sunk by the overlapping words bug, though.
I really enjoy seeing games like this that are executed well and kept simple and in scope. Great art direction and subtle sound design. Really enjoyed this!
Hello the game is great but the bug with merged letters is annoying. Still great gg.
This is so good! I really enjoyed playing this! the UI is so good looking and everything is so polished! Music is a good force at keeping things intense! Words are very well balanced! Some easy ones and some difficult ones! Really fitting to this theme! I love it! Thank you for making this! :)
nice concept！thank you for this hard work！
Liked visual and sound design, but had problems with swaping letters because it was not working every time. Also caught a bug with doubling letters, but somehow it fixed himself
Never thought about puzzle game in this theme lol, it will be better to mix with tetris by the way like using the vertical line
Pros: - Really cool concept - Very cohesive design - Feels polished
Cons : - The dragging really feels odd, and it's very distracting. It feels like the letters don't go where I want, and with the ten second timing, it's a bit frustrating :(
@karstenpedersen @bravelytyped @olivieryc @gwenckatz @robobarbie @alks @projectcolorball @william-baker We're glad you enjoyed the game! Thank you for your kind words!
@vphyre @spacefudge @sagiii @friend-pirozhok @melbadream Thank you for the feedback! We have taken note of these bugs. In the meantime, we recommend playing the game in fullscreen as we have found that the drag/drop of the letters feels better in that format.
I also ran into the "I cannot see words" from stage 3 ahah. I adore word games, so glad to have found one! The bonus/malus combo was just the perfect balance too. UI makes it very comprehensive. I struggled a bit with understanding how to change the letter order as I wanted, but had a lot of fun. The timing works so well, imo. Job well done! :D
Nice and polished looking UI. Dragging felt weird as others has pointed out. I could not figure the rules first as I was not sure where the letter was dropping. Also I managed to get letter stuck to the mouse, it would not drop it and I could still drag other letters around. Sorry, did not manage to get video of this bug. Otherwise problems were my memory of English words....
Very well polished game. Feels cohesive and finished, which is impressive for a jam game! Being a barely literate troglodyte that can't spell anything without the help of auto correct, I never made it past level 1, but can see the appeal for folks who really vibe with word games. Well done!
Excellent first impression!
Very good presentation.
The aesthetics and tone are very attractive and the concept of the puzzle is striking.
However, the control is too rough and I had a lot of trouble putting the letters in place. It's a shame because polishing that detail would make an impeccable game.
In any case, a very good entry!
EDIT: I tried it agin in full screen and the control is more responsive. Maybe a little more feedback in the movement of the letters would improve the experience. NIIIICEEEE!
Beautiful game! My best is 195000.
I enjoyed the game it felt like scrabble or wordle meets Tetris. It fits the theme well. I like the design of the game. What I would suggest is improve background sound
Fun game with a well designed ui and nice music. Felt like I was a hacker in cyberpunk or something. Controls and abilities were a little ambiguous but overall I had fun.
Very fun word puzzle! As others have mentioned, letter placement was a little frustrating at times. If I tried dragging a letter over to the left it would frequently put that letter at the very beginning of the word, even though I didn't want it there. Aside from that, the game is fantastic. The graphics and sound design is really well done, and I love the concept. Great job!
highscore.png Okay I gotta stop for now lol So much fun! I've started using the glitches to my own advantage though.
@actyl teach me your ways sensei.. I didn't think that score was humanly possible!
@jmad @serxiolas @davidtheginger @actyl @denvil @makhan @anne-nichols We're so glad that you liked our game! Will definitely work on the controls post-jam, thank you for the feedback :D
@4ahizon Thanks for playing! I don't usually work on the audio so this was a rare opportunity, but I really want to improve on it. Any suggestion is welcomed <3
Simple, stylish, fun! Really addicting, the sliding was a bit awkward and inconsistent at first though. But that doesn't detract from how clean and polished it feels!
Is the bottom row being empty intentional? It happened kinda suddenly. Cool idea, agree with others that the dragging could use some work. Moving the letters away from the target spot would help a lot. I thought I was better at word games than this...
ss.png
Nice, well developed game really brought down by the controls. I was constantly dropping tiles in the wrong place which made it hard to arrange the word I wanted. Even just an indicator of where the tile would drop would be HUGE in mitigating this.
Also I picked a hack that hid all but the bottom row and one that showed one less row and I couldn't see anything. Maybe that's on me but it seems like there should be a safeguard.
Very polished! Modifiers are neat, aesthetic is great, sound is great
Absolutely love all of the style going on in this. The graphical design is great and fits the game perfectly! I do agree that more feedback on where your swapping characters and perhaps some more juice added when you clear a row would improve the overall feel, but the game is very solid and fun to play! I like the idea of getting different powerups as you go through and how it switches up the playing field, but I didn't make it too far as the difficulty jumped a bit too quickly for me. I thought it might be more accessible if it started with 3-4 letter words at level one and didn't have so many six+ letter words until you made it through a few levels.
That was really awesome! The design is gorgeous, the spacing of the visual elements was *perfect*.
I think it might also be useful to not lose the bottom rows, but top. I don't know why but when the word moved "up" instead of a bar blocking from the top, my brain just went "I don't like this, I'm out."
I also found a bug where I was clicking and dragging in an above row while the previous row was finishing the sorted animation... and when the row I was working with dropped, the tile I was holding disappeared, which made the word no longer solvable.
Then the other critique I would have is that having proper nouns in the list (Henry, Berlin) makes the game fairly culture specific and so removing those could improve the accessibility.
I did adore this game though - the feedback isn't to bring the game down, just as "room for growth" comments. :3
You made my brain do the tingly thing and that was wonderful.
Thank you so much for the fun this morning. :D
Nice and clean game. Really fun, even if I totally suck XD
Really cool aesthetics, nice work!
very nice design and gameplay! since english is not my first language i'm struggling a bit sometimes, but the idea overall is really good, and the game itself is really fluid. To me the only little thing missing could be a visual feedback when you drag a letter, like a little bounce/shake/scale animation. But apart from that, it's really good!
Oh that was a stellar little game! Good idea and well executed. I had a minor glitch where I misplaced a letter that I was "holding" and couldn't get it back, but thankfully I had ways to get rid of that word anyway.
The graphics look so clean! Very fun to play! (:
Love the menu and graphics! It's so cool that you made cryptography into a word game. Well done!
The interface and graphics are really well done! I love how the aesthetics perfectly match the idea of the game, the music is subtle but noticable. I really like the idea you went with, and the execution, well done!
one thing I would change is how difficult it is to move letters arround, you don't get a sense of feedback so the game feels irresponsive when you move a letter but it doesn't move where you want it, other than that I think the game is pretty solid!
Neat game. Tthe controls are not very enjoyable. I would have much preferred to write the letter on my keyboard, or to click the letters in order. Trying to drag them around, with no visual feedback as to where they will end up, did not work.
Masterful entry, Only feedback I have is the same as in the comments, the letter dragging mechanics was not precise enough.
Struggled with controls. To the point of unplayable at points. The game has a really nice clean look, and the sound sits well and I really like the idea. It's simple but clean. The issue of the controls was just a massive barrier for me I couldn't get past sadly.
playing it with google translate :) simple and clean game play! but the control is not smooth enough.
Even as a non native english speaker, this was really fun to play! The UI is very good looking, even the in game credits look really great haha. The drag and drop worked well, even if would have liked a bit more feedback when putting down a letter, like other letters moving / bouncing to their new position instead of instantly teleporting.
Great job and thanks for the game!
Really cool concept! It was a bit weird moving the letters, and the lack of tutorial was a bit confusing, but once I got how it works it was really fun!
Really amazing game. Like it was already mentioned, moving the letters around felt a bit weird but otherwise it's awesome! Great job!
Simple yet effective game design. I enjoyed the game but had trouble moving letters around for the first rounds. The power upgrade/downgrade to select in between rounds was a nice touch to keep the game fresh. Also the music adds to the chill mood. Nice jam !
Nice simple game. Liked the aesthetic and music a lot
Hahah for some reason, I love scrambled word puzzles even though I am terrible at them... The dragging UI felt a bit off for me and made it quite hard to move letters under pressure, but otherwise everything was very well polished and put together, and a good use of the theme. Good job!
Thank you everyone for your comments! We do have plans to fix the drag and drop controls in a post jam update! For now we ask that everyone plays in Fullscreen mode as the controls work much better that way!
Excellent game! It's really rare to see such a polished and fun experience in a weekend jam. The devs are rockstars!
Got 19800 stage 2. Maybe I'm a little tired, I see the letters combined in a strange way first, and I can't get many words directly. :joy:
I love this game so much I keep coming back to it. It might be an unpopular opinion but I think it's presentation might hold it back: with a nice minimalistic and slick esthetic this could be a very accessible and popular wordle-like game you'd share with your parents. Not to knock the look, it's great and very polished. Just thinking about the type of audience you can reach with good word based games. I also appreciate that the chosen esthetic might also work better for the audience of the Ludum Dare :).
I LOVE THE UI SO MUCH!! super nice music too, very effective and super awesome wordle-like game, LOVE IT LOTS
I greatly love word games, and this one scratched that itch in full! I'll likely keep playing even before the drag and drop fix, just to keep sharpening my word unscrambling skills :]
@ursagames @otterfaelure Thank you so much for the detailed feedbacks! We took a note of everything. <3
@gibss We appreciate your comment!! that's a really good point, we will look into integrating the current UI with a more friendly light mode for other audiences in the future :)
@doot Thank you for playing our game! We will continue to adjust the click and drag feedback. I'm a big fan of your game c:
Thanks for everyone elses' comments too! They mean a lot of us. We are working on improving the drag and drop system (including visual feedback), filtering the word bank, as well as the remaining bugs. Bugs that still occur: - ~~*letter sticking to cursor*~~ - ~~*some "hacks" causing the game to be unplayable (unable to see any words)*~~ - *baseline ui looking weird* - ~~*Ui not scaling correctly out of full screen*~~
Also super impressed by everyone who posted their high score, apparently I suck at my own game :sweat_smile:
What a nice and polished game. It was a very fun experience!
hsdsg.JPG nice game！love the art styl- simple but looks great!(rate back?)
@projectcolorball thanks! I have played and commented on your game previously :D congrats on your game!
I love the clean, legible look of the game. The hacker mood works so well. Well done!
Loved the art-style of the game, was a really nice setting along with the music and sounds. I was pleasantly surprised to see the different buffs/debuffs and thought it was an amazing addition, as the game is fun even without them, but they add so much more replayability. Honestly great job.
This game was really fun! I replayed it a few times to see the different choices, and it was fun to regret my choice after discovering how bad some of the negatives were. Also, I couldn't seem to use the right click to clear a word ability when I could also only see the bottom row.
great game, guy above me eat bananas the wrong way tho
very interesting gameplay, i didnt read the ? first and assumed i had to type the correct word, before realising i needed to switch letters ahahah As a non native english speaker, it challenged me and my knowledge of the english vocabulary, somehow managed to get 23k points idk if it's any good ahah
This was awesome! I am terrible at word games, so it was nice that the game gave me a few to chew on at a time, and when I was really struggling it put me out of my misery pretty quickly.
Everything about this was very polished, the graphics are very clean (I wonder what a light version would look like). The music was intense and thoughtful (something about it reminded me of "The Forbidden Tower" from The Talos Principle).
Once or twice it seemed like I had a word that was not accepted, but it was probably just me spelling poorly. I wonder if it would be more accessible if score was saved up and could be spent on permanent upgrades.

* Did some words have more than one solution, did any valid word solve? * Did different color words mean anything, it seemed like the green/blue ones where easier than the redish ones?
I got to stage 3, I think that all I can manage (**My highscore: 41 000**)
Great game with solid graphics and audio. Good fun. My best score is 33600.
Thanks for a cool word game!
I quite like graphics and audio. Gameplay is decent. Overall, a nice game!
Nice job! I think this was really polished with nice cohesive looking visuals and moody music. I had a fun time playing it too! There were for sure some words I could solve immediately and others I had to look at for a bit so Im glad they pile up instead of just losing if you don't get one. The powers is an interesting addition where they always come with a downside. Great job!
Really well polished game. Didn't make it very far, as I am really bad at this kind of game, but love the whole art style and UI design. Only wished there was an option to see the solutions after losing, but still really great game
Super cool and very polished! The cyberpunky visuals are very nice, the music is great (fitting but not overwhelming, leaving room to think). It's definitely my favorite game this jam - and I played quite a bit of them :grin:
Seems to me that not every viable solution is accepted. For example, it accepts some names (like Mike), but not others (like Gary). It does not accept some words at all (like noir). Or maybe when the word is generated, the one and only viable solution is generated with it and the game just won't accept any other, even if it makes sense?
I didn't get very far, but I will definitely play again. The randomized choice of powers does give the game a lot of replayability! Thanks for a great jam game.

A unique game, I like it!
I really really like the polished feel of the visuals. The gameplay itself was very addictive and fun. All around a really good entry! My only criticism would be that the powerups could be worded a bit better because its a bit confusing to figure it out the first time. Other than that, I think this was a perfect entry! Great job and thank you for the game.
Interesting mechanics.
