I liked the concept and its execution is well done.. its quite hard but I liked it.
dragon difficulty is really hard :"D
I got into dragon after many trial and error but I can't beat dragon at all X"D
I really like the concept tho
makes me think fast about any words.
Holy cow this was more intense than I thought! The Dragon is a menace to the spelling society
I gave up vs Dragon; not enough caffeine in me. Game played well. Ever play "blocksum"?
I meant the dragon to be tough, but I think the randomness just makes it really swingy. I haven't played blocksum, I'll have to check it out if it's similar! I was actually inspired by the game bombparty which is a ton of fun with some friends.
Very interesting concept, I may be bad at vocabularies, but I beat all except the dragon. This was fun.
It's entertaining and the idea is good, but a bit unfair. Sometimes you only get consonants and you can't form any words.
Thanks for playing! You can actually use letters not on the board! The idea is that only letters that deal damage are ones on the board. I should really make that more clear somehow 😬
Hah, that makes a lot more sense! I'm replaying it, and now that I know that, a whole new world of possibilities has opened up. It's a shame that english isn't my first language, though.
Thanks! I wonder how well this concept could work in other languages, I'm sure it ports well to some and might not work for others
Really enjoyed it once I realized you could use letters not on the board. The dragon was a real challenge.
Thanks!! Any ideas on how to make that more obvious? Seems like others are having that same problem
I'm not them but I would change "Type a word using the letters on screen" to "Type any word that contains at least one falling letter" or something along those lines
Ok so I managed somehow to get to the dragon but just got hardstuck there for a long time. Really nice game , chill and doesn't get in the way when trying to come up with a word, no unnecessary pressure. Had a real fun time playing but maybe adding some difficulty configuration or something would be awesome. Great job overall, nicely done!
I really wanna play but it seems like Enter is not working after I input the word. Tried running through love directly and windows build with wine, any known issues with that or am I doing something wrong?
Linux Mint 22.1
Hmm... I can't repro it on my end (Windows or Mac with the .love build). I don't have access to a Linux box to try it there though. Are you sure that you are typing real words? I notice in the screenshot you are trying `SRHT` which should let you submit but won't deal any damage
Ohhhhhhh.. I missed the whole point! I thought it was just typing the letters, well now it got a whole lot harder :)
Oof- bad instructions on my end then! Thanks for persevering lol
Really clever game! I like all the different constraints. I would say that the bosses leading up to the final boss could be more difficult. The Dragon was the only one that took me a few tries. Great that there is an endless mode as well!
Thanks for playing! I didn't get enough time to balance things and wanted a chance to tutorialize before throwing you in the deep end, but I think you're right that they could be harder! I also think the randomness is really swingy and can make things way easier or harder depending on your luck.
