Beautiful game! I had a great time guessing words and avoiding spies, even I’m not English native speaker I made it through the end in the first play (screenshot attached).

I like the difficulty progression, great music + sounds effects quality and the outstanding ascii art. But probably my favorite feature of the game is the feedback when you introduce a wrong guess, it is quite satisfying even failing :).

Awesome game! Well done!

It is quite difficult for me to find words in the levels. I usually can only come up words with 3-4 length… However, I have to admit that I have not seen a typing game for a very long time and this is definitely very fun to play! And being a game with ASCII art it’s even better!

The only thing I hope can be changed is that the sound effect when you have exposed the opponent’s spy or when your spy has infiltrated their HQ. Those sound effects are quite loud and disturbing. They do not fit your theme very well either in my opinion.

However, I liked your game very much!

It's not easy to find english word for me but it's not your fault ^^
Very good concept fit very well with the theme ! And your animated ASCII art !! <3 <3

Truly unique concept, simplistic art yet so immersive great innovation, epic music. i rate that a 5 honestly.

Matching a typing game with ASCII art, lovely. Although I'm not really a fan of the genre, I just really liked the art. The game is also very difficult, maybe I'm too dumb but I was finding it very difficult to find words on the scrambled letters! It took me many tried to finally beat the first level, and then the game crashed on after a couple of attempts on the second level, I'm running the game on a linux system using wine, though. Good job!

I'm glad that you liked it :) Sorry about the crashes..

I don't think that you are dumb, I think that's on me. I did not stated clearly that you can use the  scrambled letters multiple times in your word. Maybe that helps, try it out. :)

Nice Idea, although I had some troubles finding English words, because English isn't my first language. The ASCII Art is fantastic though!

Developer

Thanks! :)

Based on the feedback I got so far, I think, I made a mistake by not mentioning explicitly in the tutorial that you can use a letter multiple times. Try it out!

Submitted

Yeah, it works much better now. Thanks for the answer. You can also try out my puzzle game if you want. I enjoyed yours!

Hey awesome game!!! Wow I really like this, I was not paying attention to the tutorial at first but I was alittle cheeky and reset your firsttime variable back to false :P Really fun but hard, it feels really polished too! Hats off to you! 

Developer

Haha! Nice trick with the firsttime flag :)

A reset progress button would have been nice, I guess..
