Very nicely done! It's a good twist on the roguelike spelling game, and I like how the letter bonuses help incentivize you to think in certain directions. Great job!
I really like the idea ! :) nice concept, but as frenchie with a french keyboard, letters doesnt fit the same so its quite hard
Idea with potential, very like art in game
Very entertaining and immersive. The biggest problem is that there levels that forbid you of using a specific letter but they generate towers forcing you to use them, thus making it almost impossible to beat.
Very fun concept for a game, felt like playing the NYT spelling bee but a roguelike. Upgrades were interesting and fun to choose between, and the enemy abilities made me mix up my gameplay in unique ways. And I think the time element really added a lot and made it so I never needed to be stuck looking for the perfect word. However, the criteria for which word to choose was usually either way too easy (e.g. transitioning to s is just almost any plural word), while others felt impossible (not a lot of words end with a). With a slightly altered mechanic (maybe you only can or need to use a certain set of letters for your words but can start or end with any) it's something I could see myself playing as a full game. Great job with this one!
Cool concept, fun to play! Good use of the assets, good game feel. Tricky with some pairings, maybe you could get a card that allow you to change one letter from a pool of them or something to make it a little more forgiving.
Very unique idea for a game.
Really cool concept. Was a bit confused at first because I didn't realize words had to end with the letter of the next platform but after I figured that out it was a lot of fun to play!
I really like it! I thought the music fit the setting well, and the concept was creative. It's challenging and a bit frustrating (at least to me), I would have loved a spell or power that can change or randomize the tower letters, maybe it's a consumable upgrade you can get alongside the other power-ups
well done!
Awesome game! I really liked it. It's tough but in a good way. It was a little unfair when one of the bosses was immune to E when there was an E on the board, but that's my only complaint for the whole game. Good job!
Fantastic game! I love the concept, the 1bit graphics and the somber atmosphere. And it's really fun to come up with new words. And challenging. Great job!
Very cool idea, I guess I need to up my vocabulary, I found it tough but fair. Great job!
This was a really interesting take on a word game. I just wish I was better at them.
loving the art style! 😀
Really like the art!
Cool Idea. Got me a little confused at first but enjoyed it.
really cool idea!
