Great word game! The itch version wouldn't start, but I was able to play it on wavedash. I liked being able to create words for extra points!

One thing that I would have preferred is to be able to see the whole board at all times. I sometimes felt like I was wandering around hoping to find a letter without knowing where to go. Seeing the whole board could lead to more strategy for building long words as well.

Overall, great game! I enjoyed it.

Thanks for your feedback! 
I've been working on improving the game since the Jam and now it's much better! (and finally working on Itch haha) 
Also , what you mentioned about the snake/board size - I've actually added settings for that so that you can adjust it to your preference :) 
You can even play on Mobile now!
Check it out and see if you like it more with this update :)

I checked out the game again, and I really like being able to adjust the board size along with the other settings. I'm also glad it's on mobile, that makes it a lot easier to play on the go. One thing I noticed while playing on my phone is that it was hard to turn the snake. I think using swipes to control which direction it goes would be very intuitive!

Keep up the great work on this!

The game is "temporarily unavailable" on Wavedash now too :( Can you try uploading there once again?

Developer

Hey! Thanks for the info!  
It took me several attempts to understand why Wavedash was taking down my game every time.
It was about the cover art not following the guidelines xD
Just made another one and republished  the game again.

It's playable now - go check it out if you like :)

Sorry can't play, I do like spelling games and I like snake.  Maybe they'll let you reupload it ask End3r

Developer (1 edit)

Hey, sorry, I'm new here and I don't know  how things work around here.
I did reach out to official support like a week go, but  didn't get any response.

In any case - game is now playable on Wavedash if you'd like to check it out :)

fun idea! I would definitely fix the game on itch if i can (you should be able to edit your game still). I think with some polish in terms of snake assets and world assets this can be taken to the next level!

Developer

Thanks man! Unfortunately all the uploads were blocked, so I can't edit anything until the jam ends. 
It does work on Wavedash if you want to check it out 
https://wavedash.com/games/word-snake
And I'll definitely work on it! 
So far it's just a basic proof of concept, but I'll keep working to add more cool features / mechanics / challenges  and potentially - make it multiplayer!

Game loads in, but doesn't seem to start when pressing play.

Developer (1 edit)

Yes man, unfortunately I didn't submit it in a .zip folder, but as raw files, and it doesn't load...
I alerted admins at once, to see if they help me fix this, but didn't get any response yet.
I did manage to correctly submit this game to Wavedash if you want to check it out :)
