This game is the real deal: clever theme, enjoyable perks, tight gameplay. I spent way too much time on it. Amazing work!

How does your game fit the theme?
Loop, somewhat morbidly, brought us to "noose", which made us think of the classic game Hangman, to which we applied the loopy Roguelite genre.

Nice game with great sound design and graphic design!
My feedback would be about the roguelike perks. You give a bonus for words of a certain length, but that is not something the player has control over. If the word you are given is not that length, you don't get to use the perk. It would be more fun if you gave us perks that we can use strategically!
Other than that, solid game!
Such a creative (and morbid) way of interpreting the theme ... I love it! The combination of hangman + roguelite works perfectly! And solving multiple at once gets pretty hard.
Also, your game page looks incredible.
Very fun and addicting! Great entry.
I LOVE the artstyle and the silly animations, it also remind me of balatro a lot.
Hangman is weirdly fun. This roguelike hangman has revived the Wordle in me.
Great game, great concept, it's almost perfect right out of the box! Only issue is that I was getting 'c' and 'g' mixed up as well as 'u' and 'v' whenever the screen zoomed out later in the game
Absolutely loved the gameplay. It was genuinely difficult to put down. Great job.
I like the graphics, word games are always fun. The perks make this classic game a lot more interesting. Nice work!
this one should really win.. i'd buy this on steam haha. sat and played for a while, i love all of the art and the gameplay is super fun, amazing work
I'm not a big wordgame fan but this was actually fun! Nice animations for win/loose and I really liked the "pick a perk" mixin from other games. Nice!
Fun expirience! The artwork is really great, love it! Would like the perks to be more specific and deep, but currently the game is very nice!
Glad you had fun! In this current version, we don't tweak the spawn rates of the perks so you'll see a lot of the bat letter delivery cards, but we put quite a few more specific ones in there which you need to get the really big scores. If we return to it, we'll definitely add more perks and vary the spawn rates. We had some ideas we couldn't quite fit in to the game in time.
