If there weren't 100 other entries to play and rate, I think me and my buddy would have gone back and forth with this on stream for hours. Excellent work.

Really fun and I did even better once I started using the Shuffle button. It would be cool if there were powerups on random letters, kind of like multipliers in scrabble. Could be similar kind of thing, like if the powerup is on "G" that a skeleton is on and you use the G, then you get a double damage for that letter.
Some of the longest words I made were goner, demons, and tower, teach, hairy. Highest score was 78.
Nice mechanics! I played this for a while... haha

one-eyed PeteI really like the gameplay here! The gradual increase of stress as all the monsters piled up mixed with rapidly finding new words really made me feel like a wizard. The setting is interesting (using a book as a level). I'd love to imagine a version of this game with more vfx and sfx to really sell the feeling of using magic.

Lantern Boy [GDKO R1 entry]Liked this game a lot!
I just played your game and I have to say, I liked it a lot!The concept is unique and the art is really cool.
However, there are a few things I think could be added:
- Hint button: Since I am not good at words, it would be helpful if there was a hint button that I could use to get clues when I am stuck.
- Timer: Having a timer or something similar that shows when the guys are going to attack.
My best score so far is 21 (Ik pathetic lol)
But I think with a few tweaks, this game could be even more epic. Overall, I would definitely recommend this game to others.
Overall pretty epic game :) Keep up the good work!
