How does your game relate to the theme?
When I thought about "compound" - my first thought was compound words, so I just ran with that. It's a cool idea.

Specify any and all pre-made assets in your submission.
I made all the assets except the audio which I got from Kenney's Game Assets -
I hope this is all the info you need - It's my first game jam!

Super cool idea and execution the levels where hard but fun and overall super cool game and really fun to play, would have liked to see some more levels (which is a good thing) I had a blast playing, keep up the good work!!!!

(maybe some music could have added a lot but in 72 hours it’s understandable you didn’t have time)

Developer

Thanks for the feedback :) yeah music would've been nice - I was thinking about it but couldn't get any music to match the vibe. I also would've loved to make more levels... I might still

I think this kind of game would work great as a wordle esque game, with a daily puzzle of words to match. Definitely some polish needed at some points, the game does not reset it's state after a loss which means your first attempt the next run will be a guaranteed fail, but besides some polish it is a fun game that really makes you think!

Developer

Oh true, I must not have noticed during testing but thanks :) I'll be sure to fix that if I make plans to push this game futher. Glad you had fun :)
