How does your game fit the theme?
We have implemented a count down based word puzzle, in which every second matters, and as the countdown progresses, the game helps you but also blocks you as well

Such a fun concept, well done
Thanks for giving it a try
Felt bad to have spelled a valid word, but it didn't count for points. Otherwise pretty cool
Currently our dictionary is 500 words, we will definitely increase it after the jam, thanks for giving this a try!
Each round, I was able to get at least a word, but it happened all too quick in the final moments. I guess it was really hard to get ALL words, but that's not really the game. Getting one word is all you need so it's not so bad for that. Graphics and sound and gameplay are amazing though! I love this game!
Maybe a little cliche and stuff but it'd be nice if between rounds you could get little power ups but, to be fair, not EVERY game has to have those rogue-like elements lol!
This was super fun and super unique! Great game!
Thank you for giving this game a chance! That's a great idea regarding power ups, we will definitely brainstorm that.
It was a bit too fast for me (not a native english speaker)
I was a cool idea and I'd love to try it with out a short timer
the graphcs fits really when and there are nice feedback when picking and placing characters
Keep it up!
Thanks! We will introduce a casual mode(without the timer) soon after the jam ends.
Cute entry, I found it a bit hard (but I might be stupid). As a pixel artist I found that the art and presentation looked very cool. Great game overall !
Thank you for trying our game!
Clean presentation, beautiful polish. Game felt nicely intuitive even skipping the instructions ;) I could really feel the pressure as those new letters started popping up, giving a nice balance with subpar words slammed early to guarantee points.
Thank you for giving it a try!
I suck at wordle so it was tough for me, but this game rocks tho
Thank you for giving it a try, appreciate it a lot! Good Luck
It was quite a hard game for a non-English speaker, but at the same time motivating! Probably I should study more vocabulary :D I really liked the cute design and countdown sound. And also, limiting the alphabet you can use was a brilliant twist to a word game.
Thank you for playing the game!
tough game but i enjoyed playing it, the art and gamefeel is great!
Thank you for playing!
Caught my eye while searching through every game uploaded to add to my "interest list", and it didn't dissapoint! I thought I would be rewarded for words immedietly like a lot of word games, but I love that it's not confirmed until the timer runs out, and your board gets harder as it goes on. Super fun and I haven't seen anything like it in this jam! SO points to you! Keep making stuff, proud of you!
Only gripes were, I think I found myself finding alot of 5 letter words not counting, I assumed stuff that were 4 letter words that ended with S didnt count for a reason, made sense to me, but then seemingly Again and Rally didnt work? Maybe a bug, or just not a big enough word pool yet, or maybe just a skill diff on my part. Totally fair for a small game jam game!
Hey, thanks for for playing and adding it to the interest list! Currently we have only 500 word dictionary, we will be updating this list soon after the jam is over. Stay tuned!
At first I thought it was a "wordle on steroids", but the after playing the game it actually seems unique and creative! I agree with the others that it would've been more enjoyable without the timer, and the letters "g" and "c" look almost the same in this font... but otherwise it's a great game!
Thanks for playing! Will definitely come up with a casual mode (without the timer) soon.
Loved the art style, would make a good mobile game without the timer. great work
Thanks!
The art is so nice and it looks really polished. Ironically I feel like I’d enjoy the game so much more if there was no timer, but I get that that’s the theme for this game. A fun chill word game I can take time to think about I would enjoy more.
Still though, well done, I know some English nerds who would enjoy something like this as a challenge.
Thank you for playing! We will introduce a casual mode after the jam, stay tuned!
This is pretty good, and then I realized my vocabulary range is uber limited
Hehe, thanks for playing!
I really like word games and this one did not disappoint. I wasn't very good at it but it was still really fun!
Thanks!
Suddenly I forgot how to spell, nice but stressful game! Loved the background pattern, it made me weirdly nostalgic.
We felt the same way, we will definitely add more nostalgic backgrounds, stay tuned!
My score was 430
That's awesome, we will implement leaderboards after the jam. Check back soon
This was quite stressful having to build words against a timer... great use of the count down theme. The graphics and sound were perfect, my blood pressure was through the roof... nice job!
Thanks for playing! That was the aim lol
I’m generally not bad at word games but that was hard. Got to level 15
Hey, thank you for playing! We will work on balancing the game soon.
