Sorry, but I can’t stop playing it, I CAN’T, I CAN’T STOP!!! You should 1000% publish this game FOR REAL

Developer

Thank you!

Super enjoyable and addictive! I really liked it. Maybe with some small details it could match the theme even better, like the use of a font that looks like runes, some "magic" particles, using a wand as a pointer instead of a sword... just visuals things as  reinforcement. Anyways, I really liked the mechanics and enjoyed playing it! Nice job!

It was fun, love the art and the concept, I spend a while playing even though I was really bad at it.

Very unique game idea! Somehow it's relaxing for me too :)

Developer

This is very much the vibe! it should feel like a daily puzzle, but themed. haha. Thank you for playing it.

This is so well made! I do wish that you would push a button to make words fall faster when all thats left is "JJJQJD" 5/5 would play this on my phone during my lunch breaks, could see it being a very fun puzzle game too with limited turns

Developer

Thank you for this feedback! I like that you’re on the same page. I really would implement some things like, no more than 2 to 3 of those sort of hard letters at any given time or other rules the ‘wizard’ would follow to keep the game more action and less waiting.

Fun game seems pretty polished, love the mechanic, very unique. Really curious how you did the checking if its a valid word

Developer

I found a very large, like 400k+ english words list, and curated it to not include any bad words. That process took a few days. I use it in word games and have them sorted in various ways. For this game, I simply have a dictionary of all of the words, and reference that. If the word is a key in this dictionary, it is a valid word, and then it’s easy to compare that to length and starting or ending character.

I can share that list with you, if you’d like.

The game broke just as i was about to win unfortunately (i clicked on the wizard twice in a row by accident). Really fun game though, the challenge system is great

Developer

Thanks so much for playing! So sorry the game broke on you, but glad you enjoyed playing it.

a very nice game! gets a little slow sometimes. I love the voices too, "know your place mortal". probably my favorite game so far lol.

Developer

Thank you for your feedback. Glad you enjoyed it. I really think with some more polish and redoing the challenge system it could be a nice daily puzzle game.

A simple idea but very well executed. The art and animations feel very polished. It took me a few words to realize I could take the letters from anywhere haha—I was doing it like a word search!
