How does your game fit the theme?
In the game, you need to think of a word that connects to the END of some clues and connects to the BEGINNING of others. So quite literally, your guess is both the end and also a beginning.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
So close! Yes, ALMOST everything (including most code, all music and sound effects, all puzzle design and all vector art).
I did NOT create: 2 background photos, the font, and the Levenshtein-distance function implementation. Full credits are in the Settings screen of the game.

It's hard since I'm not native English speaker, but I think it's a really interesting game and take on the theme too. You've got a tutorial, hints, skip, you thought about it all. Sure, graphics could be better, but you voiced a story with eye & armed pizzas.
I loved the concept and how goofy this was! Great job!
Quite a unique take on the theme. I felt the game is well-polished and I enjoyed playing it even though I failed so many times to be able to guess the correct word hehe. Good job!
I would really appreciate it if you could rate my game as well :)
This is the first game of this came I saw on this gamejam. Looks kinda close to the CODENAMES game, which I sometimes play with my friends. Nice concept, thank you for sharing with us.
Very nicely done. Tough, but the hints helped a lot. Very funny!
personally, the auto hints saved this game for me :P, as I totally got stuck a number of times and needed them.
May not fully agree with all the connections :P, but with plenty of connections to be made each round, it didn't matter.
Loved the story, music and art :), all came together well.
Right amount of levels for the story mode (and a Jam game length), and I saw after completing that you could play "main game" with new levels, which is great for those who want more.
Well done :)
