Really unique mechanic of crafting new items from old ones letters. I really enjoyed the game, great work! Art was also cute!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the crafting mechanic and the art style!
I'm a big fan of word games so I was drawn ot your title and stayed for the concept. Really interesting puzzle mechanic and you pulled it off really well! Reminds me of Scribblenauts but with more intentional puzzles. How did you choose words that the player could create and not? I noticed that you implemented "roof" even though I think we didn't need it to beat any of the levels.
I agree with Hotdogman287 in their suggestion below and another suggestion I have is a way to see your letters without entering the create screen. Also I thought you had to manage the amount of letters you had at once before I realized you could drag to the left and right in your letter box.
Thank you! I added some words, like "roof" or "eel", that can be used to solve levels a little bit differently. In case, if player thought about them. It just felt right
Nice thinking :) Made it feel very complete
I like your game, it has alot of potential! The puzzles are interesting and tricky. If i had to change one thing, it would be the explanation of certain mechanics. For example, the gate is not easily explained and can cause much confusion for the player. Great game and good potential.
Also, you should totally play and if you like it, review my game. It is about a kindergartner walking 20 miles to school uphill and back! /jam/shovel-jam-2025/rate/3722793
Thank you for feedback! I didn't have enough time to create a good tutorial :(
