Great concept, I feel like I'm actually chanting to stop the object!

It might be good to include the word by default. The optimal strategy was to just spam letters to get the hint as fast as possible instead of guessing what it was.

Developer

Thanks for playing!
Yeah you're right! I will do that!

Submitted

unique idea but could do with a bit more fine tuning, I found it hard to guess the right word and had to use the clue every time oops. I also found the audio infuriating and turned it off. But I like the art and think its a cool mechanic

Developer

Thank you for playing and your valid feedback!

I typed shoes and it didn't work and then the game told me to type shoes and I tried again and it still didn't work.

Oh my god this really squeezes my brain xD especially in the reversed part, I can't figure out the name of some stuff without hints, could be nice to add synonyms as an ease-in to the actual word! Nice game

Developer

Hey thanks for playing! Synonyms could work!

Interesting idea, it's a little bit hard because when I type something and part of it gets written on the next word, and you cant backspace so that kinda sucks. It's kinda repetative but its fine, great job and keep up the good work!

Developer

Thank you for playing^^
I have to investigate why backspace  doesn't work.

Ah man, this was too hard for me, I couldn't get past the reverse words level. Especially since I don't know which word it need, I always needed to wait for the hint.

Developer

Thanks for the valuable feedback and playing! ^^

An interesting concept but ends up being a little bit repetitive.  Some of the words are also misspelled which adds to the frustration.  If i remember correctly, kins for sink and efnik for knife.  Each action also heals some health after each completion and some of the actions are really quick which is frustrating.  I felt that with the drawer that needed to be spelled backwards and it opened and closed so quickly it would heal back too quickly.

Fair feedback! Thank you for playing ^^
