What a sweet game!! I'm such a fan of word games, and this one was great! I actually replayed multiple rounds as both Reyna and Koenig; both characters' abilities were super fun to use and come up with strategies for. Having to think ahead about how many fouls I could afford, how much mumbling I could get away with, and how much mana I needed to keep on hand really kept me engaged. And I felt so powerful when I could get on a roll with a streak of good letters/rules and could crank out a ton of words without stopping. And the VA squad really made the game feel more alive and added so much heart! Extremely charming and highly enjoyable jam entry. Great work!
The only obstacle I ran into was a moment where Reyna had 0 Mana and needed to use the same letter twice (I had no duplicates in my hand), so I just had to let the timer run out before I could do anything. This was my own fault, though, for transforming the judges without having any leftover mana saved. :p
And the only disappointment is that the Spellslinger universe isn't actually in a series that I can go read. 😔
