Thanks for playing! Yes, copy results is unavailable for certain browsers, sorry for the inconvenience!

I've fixed the issue!

Thanks for letting me know, I’ll look into it!

I appreciate the kind words, thanks for playing!

Thanks for playing!

Thanks for letting me know, I’ll look into it!

Edit: I am pretty sure I found and fixed the issue, thanks again for the heads up!

Lots of fun! It was challenging, and didn't overstay its welcome for me personally, which was great!

Thanks!

Thanks for playing!

Sweet! I updated it last night due to another similar bug, so I was hoping it would fix it

Thanks for playing! By playing the bonus, it reveals the answers to each clue!

Thank you for letting me know! The game has just been updated to fix this, sorry for the inconvenience!

Those are both already features, that's strange that you aren't seeing it. Do you mind elaborating what type of device you're using?

Congrats on beating it!! I’m so glad you enjoyed the atmosphere, and I think you’re right that a smaller board or more indications of immediate loss could help new players learn quicker, thanks for the feedback! There’s definitely a way to give players help and still maintain that old-school learn-as-you-play style.

Thanks for playing!

Thanks for playing! I gotta check Quatro out!

Thanks for playing and the comment, I worked hard on the aesthetics so I appreciate it! Yeah, I tried a few different ways to explain the concave/convex matching, it'll never be perfectly explained on the first go.

Thanks for playing!

It might just be a trick of the eye fooling me lol

Thanks for playing!

Thanks for playing! It does take some solid strategy (and a little luck) to win. Maybe making it more approachable could help it appeal to a wider audience, but at the same time I enjoy the difficulty I made it.

Thank you for playing! I definitely agree that a tutorial would help a lot, even if I’m going for a “learn-as-you-play” vibe.

Thanks for playing, I appreciate it!

Quite fun! I enjoyed finding out all the bonus combinations to score, and that you could save up your bumps over time. 11 rounds seems pretty good, but I'm sure people can do better!

I enjoyed the different experience that you brought to this game! I wasn't prepared for the emotions that came with the story, so props to you. When people talk, I think technically you have 5 colors on screen since the names are a dark green, but that's a small thing and it doesn't change the game at all. Nice work!

I enjoyed the graphics and music/sfx, it really captured the retro vibe. The four-colors rule was accomplished very successfully and never felt like a burden! I wish there was more of it to play, though I understand that game jams can make that difficult. I also think the platforming at the end could've been a bit clearer, though I did end up figuring it out, so perhaps a bit of trial and error was intended. Overall great vibes!

I’m glad I tried my hand at two mini games in one, but I agree that one polished game tends to end up feeling better to play. Thanks for playing!

Thanks for playing, I agree the instructions being clearer was the main thing I would’ve done differently. Thanks for the kind words!

Thanks for playing!

Thank you for playing and the thought-out review, I appreciate the feedback! I originally was only going to make the Hanging Gardens, but I thought about the Tower of Babel and I never pass up an opportunity to make a word puzzle game!

The crickets in Hanging Gardens were originally more predictable but you're right that the double jump was a bug that appeared when I tried to make them more exciting. I left it in, but I probably should've revamped them to make them more predictable and fair to reduce artificial difficulty.

For Tower of Babel, you can quickly quit a level by pressing escape (or the "Start button" equivalent), but I realize I didn't state that anywhere in game so that's on me.

As for the joystick bug, I wish I had controllers to test it with to catch this sort of thing. Thanks again for playing!

Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed my music, it was really fun to make!

Thanks for playing, glad you appreciate the art and music! The Tower of Babel game could have clearer instructions but as long as all the words become identical, you win the level, so there’s no single word to go for.

Thank you! I agree the Hanging Gardens does have a bit of artificial difficulty because of the physics, something I’d probably refine in future games

Thanks for playing! I’m more into puzzles than platformers so I figured the gardens game might be a little jank :) Glad you enjoyed the music!

Thanks for playing, I knew when I went for NES vibes that it might end up meaning less clarity about what to do in-game, so that’s on me. I’m glad you enjoyed the music, I liked making it!

Thanks for playing, I appreciate it! Word puzzles are my passion haha

Any path to the solution works, thanks for playing!

Thanks for playing! The controls are listed in the description, there’s multiple ways:

WASD, J and K

Arrow keys, X and Z

Spacebar also acts as an “A button”

Controller is supported too. Thanks again!

Thanks for playing, I agree that having suggestions if you get stuck on a word would be helpful but I didn’t implement it yet because the algorithms might’ve taken a while.

Thanks for playing!
