20 WORDS // 20 SECONDS's itch.io pageComments
I could sit here all day and keep playing this, but I'm tapping out with a high score of 135. Really nice idea, complimented by thoughtfully designed UI. I love the subtle touches, like the background getting lighter on the results screen as your words disappear. Great job!
It is a great but very stressful game :D I got 118 points, it seems crazy that one could get up to 20 words!
It’s a fun game, and I liked the feel of it. I could imagine a competitive, multi-player version!
A bit hard if you are not native in english, but i did enjoy it!
I like your style!
I love how frantic this feels! Quiz type games are always tons of fun for me, and this executes on that type of game perfectly
This game is super fun! Being a non native english speaker is a little hard, but I got 200 points, pretty satisfied :D very original, and well done!
I'm very into word games right now, so this hits the spot. Nice clean interface and colors!
I am so bad at quizzes like these, but it worked well at least for the 2 words I could get in 20 seconds.
This is quite a clever little word game. I'm not especially great at it, but I love the challenge of trying to think of words as fast as possible. I do wish I could start a round by hitting enter or something so that I don't have to move my hand from the mouse to the keyboard as fast as possible at the start of a round, but that's a pretty small complaint. Overall quite good!
Idea, sound effects, and implementation are all solid. Nice work!
A nitpick: I think the 'contains' tests shouldn't allow you to type in the contains prompt if it's already a word (e.g. Contains "HAT": I'll just type HAT instead of CHAT or HATTER)
My high score was 157.
I found myself typing ANY and WORD in for the ANY WORD prompts. :D
I like the simple colour scheme and layout - I think the simplicity of the layout allows the player's mind to wander a little in order to think of the words given by the question.
I like the variety of questions, and the prevention of a previously used answer. It would often force me to think of something else that fits the criteria. After playing a couple of times, I tended to default to the same few answers. I think more themed questions would add more variation to types of answers given, though this may be hard to program in as it may become extremely subjective.
A simple, yet frantic typing game that tests your English vocabulary.
Have to join in, this is a really fun and well thought out game! Wordle prepeared me for 5 letters so I was stumped at 6-7. I like the strategy of finding go-to words for prompts, make you always want to go faster and faster!
Record: 115 points
Would love to come back to this later (and also play a PICO-8 remake!!)
Nicely done! Doctors could prescribe playing this game every day to keep our brains agile and active. I like how the 20 second limit means that it's a test of your reaction time as much as a test of your vocabulary. Since the same prompts come back often, it's not too hard to find go-to answers. And that makes me wonder what this game would be like if you continued to expand it after the jam with a longer timer and additional types of prompts. Maybe some tricksy questions that force you to think more before answering like common phrases with a word missing, basic arithmetic questions where you have to type the numeric answer as a word, any valid anagram of a set of letters.
