Cute idea. I think the music choice was a bit too extreme for this game but I really enjoyed the interpretation of the theme!
its a really fun idea! i really enjoyed the game even though it took me like 3 minutes to get through door 1
Great game, I really enjoyed this! Great mechanic and use of the theme, I could really see this game go on with different possible and more complex word combinations in other levels. Very nice and good job!
This game has great concept and potential. There are many possibilities on puzzles based on joining word.
I like the idea and the execution is good. I guess the number of possible words would increase in further iterations, so thats not really a negative point for me.
Personally i dont really feel the music, its doesnt really fit the setting. And the setting in general could be improved. Why is there a teddy bear in a cave?
But i really like the concept, real good integration of the theme!
I liked the concept of joining words, and I would like to see a bigger pool of word choices. My main criticism is that it all felt a bit mismatched, with pixel art, cartoon art and edm music. Also I'm not sure why there was a dungeon type game underneath, probably would have been better if you just focused on the core word matching. Overall still fun though, nice job.
Cool idea, looks good, only I would like the sound of music to be quieter :)
Good job, I liked it! Found myself wishing it was longer hehe I would definitely play a sequel!
Thank you for playing it! I appreciate it a ton.
Nice idea, learned some words today. Art choice is a bit questionable though as I don't think a man with a cute little bear costume has anything to do in a dark dungeon lol. Overall a creative work!
Haha, sometimes you got to go with the flow (and with the assets I have and am allowed to use :P). Glad you enjoyed it!
Cute game, I love the concept. The movement is a bit janky though, I kept overshooting where I wanted to go.
Thanks for the feedback! Yeah movement is leftover from my initial idea and is grid-based, doesn't work as well as I would have hoped. Will need to learn from this!
As a true wordsmith, let me just say that I love the music. Cool mechanic.
I am honored by your words, Master Wordsmith :P Thanks for playing my game
I really enjoyed this game, as a non-english speaker, it was sometimes difficult but not too much. I surprised myself to be motivated to see what will be the next question ^^ Good job :)
Thank you for playing, glad you enjoyed it! I am not a native speaker myself so I tried to balance it out by having the harder words later so you can at worst have an easier time to guess it haha
controls are a bit wacky but nice (like)
Yeah I tried to go with grid base movement for an initial design idea I had and it ended up being left over, glad you still enjoyed it!
Interesting idea! It's a little hard to follow, but definitely a unique concept.
Thank you for trying the game :)
