I am really impressed by your submission here! Really well done on all fronts I'd say. Fun, easy to jump into, cute art and good music/sounds. Congrats and best of luck!

wow! it took me a full hour to beat all 20 waves, but I was highly engaged the whole time. as a non-native speaker, I was experimenting a lot with what could be words, which was it's own interesting challenge (and if someone had listened to me trying to read out random letters in order to form words, they would have been worried about my mental state without a doubt).

I don't know enough about word games to know if you came up with this idea of a hexagonal grid for word strings, but it works really well to offer many possibilities even with random letters and then the RPG mechanics were really nicely implemented on top of that. I sure could have used a little reminder of all my power ups, but it was also kinda funny to stumble through my vague memory and then being surprised by how many points a 3 letter word could bring all of a sudden.


anyway, great work, I am happy so many people could play it already

Very fun game and a concept very well done. A lot of polish is also seen in the game. You also managed to resemble the slay the spire's UI as well. However the RNG of the words annoyed me a little as I had no words to make there were only 3 letter and 4 letter words available to make. No big damage words so it ruined the experience a bit. Other than that it is a great idea and well put together.

Very fun game! I liked figuring out what words would work. Great job!

Great word game! Very fun!
I was on level 14 and saw that the time was over 30 minutes, so I stopped playing before I made it to the end.

Not sure what dictionary it is using, but I noticed it was allowing some questionable words, like "zan" 😅

We loved your game! Super impressive for 10 days of work.

You could slap adds on this and put it in an app store, well done :)

A great game with a solid concept that's been well reinvented. Excellent sound and graphics.
