Nicely done and original with this theme :smile:

I really liked how original this game was!

mallykm 2023-10-02 22:18

really cool idea

This game is very fun i really like it :)

Nice stuff. Found it calming and kept me engaged. The dictionary is pretty large so could get away with plenty of guesses. Nice sound effects.

Very cool game! I wish we could slide the color blocks using mouse!

Interesting spin on the theme and very relaxing. Original concept but still feels familiar enough to keep me engaged.

Like the idea ! It can be a bit hard for people average in english like myself to find words but the concept is great, also the fact you took time to make a tutorial is great ! I wonder why the music is paused by default though ? especially since the audio is pretty smooth and works well with the game

@flying-butter-studio @teashna @mallykm @princesse-cornichon @braktheman Thanks for playing.

@profhatchet we started with a 100k word dictionary, then added a 10k common words for puzzle generation and then when words like "snail" weren't being recognized we added a 370k word dictionary and combine the 3 in game. Our game is easily 80-90% dictionary by volume.

@xclementx that's a great idea, if we do a post jam version we might add that.

@tyrannas to be fair for us as software developers, it was hard for us too :slight_smile:. The music started paused because of javascript security reasons I think, mostly because it's embedded in the page, it works automatically on the other sites.

Cool twist on this 'genre' of game. The presentation is also super polished and fitting to the theme.

Damn, what a great implementation! Super cool interpretation of the theme, amazing tutorial, great mood, everything was superb. I'm afraid I don't have constructive feedback, only praise :)

Enjoyed playing this! Loved the idea

Nice original idea and awesome feeling! Great entry!

wow! very cool game. it's a bit hard for a average english person like. really like the music!

julia-babadshanow 2023-10-04 16:14

Marathon Mode is my favorite. It's a well polished game and the fact, that it has even has such a detailed tutorial is mindblowing. The music is very nice, but the tracks are too short and differ so much in volume. Note that this is just citicism over tiny details, because Ic an't complain about anything really. Great game!

cool idea!
