The concept really stands out in this jam, and it was executed well. This game is super fun!
I think a hint system might work well in this game--I got stuck on the last puzzle because I thought the solution was "matter." Even a simple hint (like the first letter of the solution) would stop players from going down the wrong path. And an undo button might be more convenient than starting over completely.
Really fun mechanic but that last puzzle was a pretty big jump in difficulty - I hope you add more levels to this, I want to play it more!
It's fantastic and it's 5 starts for me!
This game is fantastic, relaxing, and creative. I absolutely adore word games (despite being quite bad at them) and this one is super unique! Lovely atmosphere and calm music give it all a wonderful vibe. Amazing work!
Very interesting idea and take on the theme. The puzzle of how to extract certain letters while selecting valid words is a clever one. I think with a hint system and some polish, as the UI was a little clunky at times, it would make a fantastic phone game. Well done!
Interesting take on the theme, Love the background music, very relaxing. Gameplay wise, was abit confusing at the start, but once I did it's quite satisfying. I don't really have a vast vocabulary so took me awhile to figure out some of the words >_<" . But yeah really interesting idea, well done!
really slick! the UI takes some getting used to, but the games is great!
By far the most original game I've played in this jam. Presentation is also on point. Great job! Control is not the best though.
This game is a sure top 20 in my list... I like the concept! Good Job!
this is such a cool idea! i literally enyoed playing this so much! definietly the highest rating i gave until now! the last one was SO hard but it felt so good taking the entire word apart until it worked. I struggled with the controls at first, maybe you could add a text that explains how you highlight words, because it took me like 3 mins lmao. As a non-native english speaker i had had to google the definition of the last word to find out what i had to write, because it had no idea what it was supposed to be hahaha :D
Really cool concept and great presentation. Loved the little sketches.
This was really lovely to play. A fun concept, with a good atmosphere to go with it!
I loved this, amazing work! Incredibly creative idea, there's a ton of potential to this! It's very satisfying to solve each puzzle, and the difficulty curve is really nice, though It took me a lot longer than would have been preferable to figure out what the final word was before I could start solving how to make it.
