This was such a fun time for me! Of course i feel the same way about the words not changing and sometimes wonky math as other people here in the comments, but beyond that, i really loved the game, it's visuals and pretty smooth and self explanatory gameplay! I like the style of the graphics and the simplicity of the game and i love the premise and main mechanic and the elegance with which it's executed. The only other remark i would have is that i would appreciate some tutorials in the game, at least for how the shop works. I played the game for at least 15 minutes partially to figure that out and i'm still a bit lost :Dddd Either way, i'll be sure to give the updated version a try!

Thank you for your feedback! I'm glad you liked the game. I also agree that tutorials would be a great addition, will work on that.

Nice little puzzle game. Looks like something my grandma would really enjoy 😂
But I enjoyed it as well. It's actually a bit of shame that it hasn't got more depth, but it is still impressive for a GameJam game!

Loved it!

Heya, thank you, it's a shame there were small bugs in there, especially not changing different words in each round, but if you would like to try it again, I've updated slightly fixed version here: https://cenkyy.itch.io/from-hero-to-zero

Cute idea.

Probably would have used different words (hero -> zero - all but one letter is the same): 
Champion -> Oblivion
Sage -> Lame
Glory -> Gloom


There are a few bug that I encountered:
- shop pop-ups linger,
- math calculations seem incorrect - 'T' * 2 yields 'M', but expected 'N' ('T'=20, 20*2 = 40, 40 mod 26 = 14, 14 = 'N')

Thank you, the feature of changing words each round was meant to be there, but there was a small bug I didn't notice, it's a shame, but if you would like to try slighty better version (at least with fixed maths and different words) check https://cenkyy.itch.io/from-hero-to-zero

I did not understand the game, unfortunately.
