I like this game! Love how the sentences are on brand for the context. I enjoyed trying to figure out the sentences as soon as possible. The only issue I found was that it was almost too easy to buy all the vowels at the same time very early on because you get so much money quickly. When I figured out that you can buy fun accessories the amount of money made more sense but then maybe the vowels could be more expensive. But that's just a small thing. Overall I think it's really cool.

This is very relaxing, though surprisingly really hard - perhaps too hard for me. I would love if the clues were based on a specific theme, or there were a riddle to solve and the words there were the answer. So “Drinking from the River Lethe” would be related a clue. Perhaps we could also buy clues.
It would also be nice to see the game wrap up in some way, even if it would have the endless mode. It would be really interesting like a labyrinth in the afterlife, where you have to solve riddles to come back to life, like an epic greek hero.

Tiny OrchestraThanks for the feedback. A general "person/place/thing" might have helped and also a way to get clues when you're out of money (or maybe some way to make money after you run out of consonants). It does eventually have a "game over" screen after you beat all the puzzles but there's no connection or story between them which was another thing I did consider but abandoned in the end. Thanks for playing!
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, I had an amazing time playing. I kept looking over saying " please don't kill me bruh ". It felt like an intimate moment with death peeking over your shoulder. Also I learned a new word..."Lethe" only cost me all 430 coins. I thought i was going to be murdered when I hit the death spin — but he robbed me instead, which felt worse than dying(which apparently I already was lol). The sound, design, and dialogue sells the humor in a very serious situation. Id come back daily to play, great job!
