Nice idea! I think this would be good as part of a multiplayer party game.

great idea, most score I could get is 3, there's always that 1 language that makes no sense

Not 100% sure if everyone here will get your joke here, but I enjoyed it! :)

Cool concept, but I'm not sure it tallied my score quite right... I got hot potato in at least one language but it said my score was zero T_T

Still, my inner linguist loved the idea :)

Developer

Thanks for playing!

You get +1 point for hot potato, but -1 point for cold spaghetti. Good feedback, I should make that kind of thing more obvious in future.

Great ! I could play it all day.

Fun and educational :)

The next step could be to add audio so that players can hear the words as well

(Some languages I couldn't read at all so it was all luck)

Developer(+1)

Yeah, that's a great idea! Even just having the phonetic spelling might make languages with different character sets more fun.

Thanks for playing!

Maybe a little bit too easy, but you had a great idea on this game !

In polish it should be : puree z banana or bananowe puree.
Otherwise perfect game! Educative, on the theme and plain simple. Should be the winner.

Developer

Thanks! I used google translate, so there are probably lots of errors.
