Overall: Awesome jam game! Super creative!
I like the concept, but I didn't get very far because it sometimes takes so long to find the missing letter!
It needs some sound design to make it a little more enjoyable. Otherwise, well done on the physics and the text
gave up after 4th level due to how annoying it was to search for letters when they’re rotated all over the place, but still pretty interesting concept! not sure how it fits the theme but i can vibe with the idea
I love any sort of physics playground situation like what you have here. Super unique idea and it's just challenging/frustrating enough to have made me see it through to the end! Really cool the way the letters seem to jumble together while in the pile - I found myself flinging them across the screen to get matches.
Took almost an hour to get to level 30 though - not sure I have it in me to keep going 😅
30 is really impressive! Thank you for playing, you are the world champion so far!
This game and mine are quite alike so i was insta curios. Loved the game could finish it cause the fps dropped a lot i gue cus of the physics and playing it web. Good job
There is supposed to be a maximum of 70 letters on the screen to avoid this. I apologize and will investigate this bug! Thank you playing - 20 is the world record so far :)
I find the visuals quite appealing + impressive despite how simple they are, and love throwing letters around, but it was quite difficult to even see them after a while
The game idea is awesome, and the style too. But the game feels slow, when sometimes you have to wait a little much for a letter. And a lot of times I just grab random letters to see if they match, because I didn't have idea of what the word could be. But overall good work!
I like the basic idea, but the current execution makes the gameplay bit tedious. Perhaps it would make more sense to give the player all the required letters from the start and allow them to be placed anywhere, not just in the correct spots. That way, the gameplay is focused more on actively deciphering the missing word and less on waiting for the correct letters to appear.
Very cool idea!
Interesting game! I'd turn off the pixel "nearest" setting, so that it doesn't make the text so hard to read. Found it hard to tell what certain letters were. Also the pacing was a little slow. I would just randomly grab letters and hope they'd match until something actually worked and I started seeing the word we were going for. Also some audio would make it way satisfying if there were clinks with the letters hitting stuff or something. Cool idea, hope you polish it more!
