Excellent game! Still haven't come close to winning, mostly due to the luck element. Lots of replay value.
A few comments that I hope are helpful:
- It might be nice to change the popup prompts to clear with any keypress rather than requiring space.
- A menu with options to disable music, disable the "tilted" orientation, etc. could be nice.
- Longer, multiline clues can get cut off from the bottom of the view screen.
- Is the XP for each Level set up correctly? It takes 240 XP to get to L1, and then only 50 XP more (290 XP total) to get to L2. I normally die on the second level because the monsters are too strong, so maybe make L1 easier to attain?
- Some words are very hard, especially because you have less "crossing" clues that help you fill in letters, as you would in a regular crossword.
