Amazing game! This is one of the few ones I actually finished. It has great puzzle design, great art, great music and above all, an original game mechanic. Props to you and your team for this submission.
It's great to hear you enjoyed it! Thanks for the feedback!
This is absolutely amazing. The art and the sound are really nice and charming, and the concept is phenomenal. I think that if time permits you could've added a tutorial level, a "dictionary", and maybe some more words/items that use the letters that you give the player. I also think there should be a shortcut to clear the current item's letters, because it wasn't immediately obvious how to destroy and recreate the boxes, for example.
Otherwise, absolutely amazing entry to the jam, I had a blast.
Thanks for your feedback! We did plan to add a dictionary but unfortunately we were a bit tight for time in the end. A shortcut for clearing letters would have been a good idea (and probably easier to program than the way I did it haha).
I Liked this game a lot, it has quite amazing puzzles & stuff, i liked how original of an idea it is to use Letters to solve puzzles, but i will note some stuff :
1- i wished there were more puzzles with even more letters(it is alr cause ik it’s a game jam game made in 48h)
2-the colliders are a little bit weird for the player, the player normaly get stuck at walls for no reason.
3- some puzzles maybe are a little bit too hard, like the one after the pot i never managed to finish it (Again, maybe it’s just me idk)
But other than that, this is a very amazing game & UX experience :D
Thanks for the feedback! Yeah the collision for the door wasn't quite right so that's probably what you were noticing there.
So freaking cool man. It's like a more restricted version of Scribblenauts which makes the puzzles more interesting since your palette is limited, if that makes sense. The game's a 10/10.
This was a blast. The way it implemented the theme was really cool. This was really awesomeeeeee!!!
Great game, very polished. Movement and using the bow in particular felt great. Would love to see what other puzzles y'all could come up with!
Great concept, had fun. Level 3 seemed to be impossible though
Thanks for the feedback! All of the puzzles are solvable but some are are more tricky than others.
This game has a ton of possibilities and is overflowing with potential. I love the potential of it and can't wait for more. I do think the music for the countdown is a bit loud. At first I thought I broke the target or something since it just kept beeping
Hi there, thanks for the feedback. When designing the levels, I did set a generous timer for all the targets. This could be changed in future but in my defense, by the time I could test the timing, we had about 20 minutes to submit the game XD. And similar thing happened to the sound, we would definitely lower some volumes.
Like the concept. had a lot of fun figuring all the different words out
This is incredibly clever and very well made! You guys did a lot with the concept in such a limited amount of time and there are so many ways it could be expanded upon and explored. Really enjoyed working my way through the puzzles and seeing what I could and couldn't make and what interactions the different items had with each other. Really impressive showing! Great job!
Very clever and creative game! You could add a lot more words and mechanics to this to make a many extra levels! Great job!
This game has a ton of potential - it was really fun! Nice job; I'd love to see this expanded in the future!
Really cool concept, art is really good and the gameplay is really fun!
Really nice! I expected some useless but funny easter eggs, like lamb, or boot, but i see how that would be hard in 2 days. reminds me a bit of scribblenauts! Nice job, the puzzles were really well done :)
That's a good idea though. If we decide to expand on the project we'll definitely have to add some joke items in there.
Definitely a cool idea! It might be neat if more word combinations were possible--then there might be different solutions to any given puzzle.
interesting idea, this feels like im playing some word search lol. although it only works for english but hey this is a game jam game
Thanks for trying our game out!
We did consider designing the UI like a crossword puzzle at one point lol.
Yeah, unfortunately I don't think it would be possible to translate this style of game.
Nice idea, I think if you could save your items after you used them once, would be nice, because you need to write the letters kinda often.
But other than that, it was really fun playing it.
Great game with a super original concept and pleasant and fitting visuals. Not quite sure why typing BOOM doesn't create a giant explosion and let me break through to the end of every level but ok...
We clearly missed a beat there haha
Thanks for the feedback!
I really enjoyed this one! I like that managing which letters you use at which time is a core element and it really meets the "joined together" theme quite nicely!
Interesting little game quite fun. having some sort of controls/options button to tell you the configuration of the controls would be helpful. sounds were great animation is really cute. overall a solid 4 star game :D
