Whoa this is so cool, and so polished. I might actually play this with scrabble tiles IRL.

This is true.
lovely and challenging! i love it, its simple, sound is nostalgic, aesthetic is very appealing
Really well polished! I love the simplicity of it and how well you weave the concept together with the puzzles
Very challenging, you did a well polished game. I love the little sound when you go back.
Liked this entry! fun and difficult game, fits the theme, interesting mechanics, nice sound design, great humour in descriptions, liked the options to undo turn or level and to skip a level, would probably suggest to make errors more visible
Haha, limited "Space". That's a very clever take on the theme. Definitely the most unique take i've seen this dare. The game itself is fun. A simple concept well executed. Good level of difficulty.
Really not much to critique. I would just echo what Stronf said about having the option to undo a turn. As this can be a bit frustrating if you mess up.
My english is not that good so I didn't know if I was making good words or not. It could have been nice to know if we're making mistakes. The music is simple but it works. Why did you decided to stop it after the main menu ? Nevertheless the game is very cool, I love it!
This was a very pleasant game, I would love to have an extended version of it on my phone. The graphics were simple yet cohesive. The gameplay felt like a pleasant puzzle, like a better version of crossword puzzles.
The sound effects, especially the pitch variation with each step, added a nice touch to the overall experience. Finding words in the puzzle was satisfying and kept me engaged.
The interpretation of the theme is probably the most unique one I have encountered so far. All in all a fantastic entry, Good job! :smile:
Really loved the clean graphics, sound design, and puzzle design! Really clever concept and enjoyed the humor in the words used in the level itself and also the extra flavor text to the side.
I'm curious how the score is determined since at the end, I was told I got a score of 1 and that I should go to the literary equivalent of a gym :sweat_smile:
Thanks all for playing and the feedback!
@limichou I added the music pretty late and it ended up clashing with the sound effects so i had to quickly cut it.
@raddishradish The score is calculated by the number of spaces you had remaining against the 'par' of each level. So a par adds zero to your score, if you do it with one space remaining you get -1 added to the score and so on. Skipping the level adds a +1 to the score. The best score I've been able to do is -8, but i wouldn't be surprised if someone figures out a way to beat that.
great entry, found everything to be polished and loved the word game. I would have liked a bit of music during the game, but not a real deal breaker as the game was engaging without it. Great entry, and good luck!
I loved the humor. It was nice to be eased into the gameplay, and I had a really fun time playing it even though I'm not great with words. Got a score of -8. Didn't realize the background were snakes until the text that pointed it out. Haha. I definitely would've kept playing if there were more levels. :) Good job.
Very creative and well designed! Also pretty challenging ( at least for non-native speakers）
Great game, loved the look and feel and the sounds when you select a letter.
As a non native speaker though, this game was quite hard for me. Still enjoyed it
Very fun puzzle game with an excellently polished finish. The only suggestion I have is letting backspace be the undo key :) The little ditty when you beat a level was perfect.
A highly addictive game that's great for killing time. I've been playing for about 30 minutes, haha. Welcome to play our game!
What a funny puzzle ! GG
