Did you use the Additional Theme(s) ?

The Addition Theme(s) where used!

Give a quick overview of your game, and how you worked the theme into it.
In my game, you play as a pair of scissors that lops letters off words -- but only the extra/silent letters that shouldn't be there!
The goal of the game is to get to the end as quickly as possible (tying in the additional theme of "Fast Paced"), and there is a stopwatch to see your time.

As someone will spelling and grammar issues I feel this game deeply.LOl well done.

The gameplay is funny, engaging, and educational, and the theme suits it perfectly. However, I must admit that the game idea wasn't fully clear to me initially; I had to read the description. It would be nice to add some information within the gameplay itself, like the other notes. A simple 'cut off the silent letters' would suffice. Additionally, the art style fits nicely. I'm just not entirely convinced about the sound effects, but that's a minor thing. Nicely done!

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, I joined the jam late and didn't have much time for sound effects. Would love to make a little song for it.

I tried your game and it was a really cool experience that fit the theme really well in my opinion. Here is some further comments of the game I collected while playing:

  • Excellent pitch for the concept on the itch.io page. It really got me interested.
  • Instructions on how to play were also very clear and implemented nicely inside the game itself
  • The game view in the Ithc.io page looks kind of weird when the game only fills part of the whole area
  • Very clear concept and solid execution! I feel this is like game jam game should be like. Strongly executing simple but novel ideas.
  • The only downside is that I felt the game soon became repetitive, with the same words repeating and only this one activity without a change.
  • A very direct but extremely creative way to interpret the theme.
  • The gameplay worked well without any issues.
  • I especially enjoyed that Play and Play again were also words that you had to cut to interact with them
  • One thing that I didn't question at the start but I started wondering afterward is, why the player needs to click through all the letters of the word when the answer can only be to remove the first letter, remove the last letter or don't remove. Isn't having the option to cut the word from the middle a bit weird considering that it should never be correct?
  • As a non-native English speaker, the game had an extra layer of difficulty

If you have something specific you would like to ask from a player, feel free to ask me and I'll be happy to share my opinion on it. Additionally, if you have an interest and a chance to try our jam game, I would also be extremely happy if you would leave some notes about what you liked or disliked about it.

This is a  very unique take on the theme, I'd never have thought of it but it fits well. The gameplay also felt very smooth with the movement of the board and all that. Though, I couldn't figure out how to skip a word, I tried cutting no letters out but sometimes that still counted as an error.

Developer

Thanks! Will see if I can fix that.

simple but really fun and a cool interpretation of the theme. Probably one of my favorites so far!

Developer
