Liked the pixel art and the idea.  I love crosswords.

The visuals are fine, and the puzzle seems good except with how short it is.

The first three answers have checkmarks, but then they disappear and there is nothing telling you when you're done.

The idea sounds intriguing, and I thought I understood that the numbers corresponded with the position of the letters in the alphabet, but the tutorial said something about words and ... I honestly have no idea how to solve the second part of the puzzle. I tried all numbers, nothing worked, and I dont even know what the correct answers are supposed to be.

the second part of the puzzle doesn’t have a tick (I left it out accidentally):
to and fr_
r_
1_
I think it was an error on my part for not including it.

so yeah, the tutorial does have the answer at the end.
The solution here is written in base64:

You can use this website to decode the answer, if the video is not enough. Thanks for playing!

Need to work on making the game a bit more understandable. I couldn't figure out how to complete the crossword, even though I knew the answer. Keep working at it.

i liked the addition of a tutorial and making letters into numbers made me think outside the box
