How does the game fit the theme?
The idea was that you lost trust in the words and you have to find the words in order to trust them again but uh... we ended up changing it to remembering words since that made no sense :')

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
We used a few asset packs (listed on the itch.io page)!

I really like this type of games that let you put your own modifiers on everything! Cute visuals too. The game would freeze for me a bit when I was trying to apply fire or ice to my projectiles every once in a while, but I really enjoyed it, well made!

This looks incredibly polished for a game jam submission. Great job!

This was really fun! Reminded me of my Scribblenauts days. Side note, I would've LOVED a AK47 sound effect - it was really surprising and funny to even find that weapon. Also, the main character's animation is well done! And, I appreciated the game/level design, it felt pretty balanced! I never felt stuck and it didn't feel toooo easy. Nice work!

Really fun but sadly the theme wasn't hitting it for me, the music and the art were absolutely amazing though!

Really cool concept and pixelart!

A great game! I definitely played it for a bit longer than i normally test these games.  It's a lot of fun. I do wish that there was some kind of health bar or way to see your health. I loved the sentence building mechanic. 

Well done!

Fun game with super cool word bank mechanic. Really enjoyed this part of game, would love to see this is some bigger project :)

I love the word bank system! I want to see this game fleshed out

really good game I love the concept it's very fun and creative, I like that you can get a lot of use out of the word combos and how it gives you a satisfying variety of combat options! The visuals are pretty great too!

sometimes the swords stuck which useful for some puzzles but it has also caused me to get stuck in the fire crossing area because I would shoot it at the wrong angle lol

I love this game, the way it seems that there are endless possibilities of sentences, dont fully understand how it relates to trust no one tho...

still great and I love it, its incredible to be able to do this in a week!!!!

Developer

thanks :) also yeah it does not relate to the theme much haha

Really fun, I like phrase creation as a mechanic but to be honest I think the biggest weakness is that most of the combinations don't matter. Like nimble doesn't really matter, and there's no mechanical reason to use the bow after getting the AK. But still very well made aside from the theme.

Developer

thanks so much for playing! and thanks for the feedback

Love the art, music, and gameplay! Building words is quite interesting, and I love the level design. The only thing that confuses me is the theme. But still, a fun game!

Developer

thanks !!! also yeah it doesn't relate to the theme much :')

Interesting mechanic with the words, it is fun :) I encoutered a bug where the character gets stuck on a wall and cna't move anymore.

Developer

Tysm :D also yeah we didn't manage to test much so there r bound to be a lot of bugs...
