Cool idea, great use of the theme, good job!
Cool idea! There were some times where I had it right, but when I clicked space, it said I was wrong. Any ways, it was a fun game!
I'm encountering that as well but I can't seem to point out why. I'll def try to refactor my code after the jam. Glad that it didn't ruin the game for you and still enjoyed it. Thanks!
Really enjoyed this. I noticed if a given had double letters and the answer word had one both would need to be yellow/green (unless i've messed up elsewhere lol) but other than the gray thing others have said I had fun, great job!
It's a wordle mechanic I didn't know beforehand because I rarely use double-lettered words (Tho I won't be able to implement it even if I knew because my code is so spaghetti that adding more logic will break it. lol). Thank you for pointing it out and I'm glad that you enjoyed it!
Pretty cool and challenging!
Fun and simple, and oddly meditative once I got into the groove! As others have said already, it was confusing at first that the squares don't start gray and have to be cycled through, though the additional time pressure arguably made it more fun once I figured it out.
Also, as a "javascript" "dev", I'm impressed you wrote an entire, nicely polished game in 48 hours in javascript! Seems like a perfect fit for this game :)
My goal was to put enough pressure on the players so I'm really confused that a lot of people saying it's relaxing. 😂
I was kinda proud that I somehow managed to do this in JS but if someone looks at my code they might think I'm a chef for making spaghetti. 🍝
I never knew backwards wordle could be as fun as you made it! It took me a bit to realize that I had to click on letters three times to make them grey, but after that filling out all of the letters became an enjoyable puzzle. The timer is the right length to make each word doable but not too easy. Nice work!
Yeah, it was my bad for not making it gray right away. Glad that you enjoyed it!
Well done
Nice concept, oddly relaxing too
Solid concept, oddly satisfying gameplay and sound design :)
This is a very good take on the theme. It's a simple concept, but a very good one. Great game!
great concept would be very fun to play if not extremely unresponsive
I realized I took Unity's convenience for granted when I switched to pure Javascript (Everything is a mess now🤣). I'll try to refactor my code after the jam. Glad that you liked the concept tho.
Cool Idea! Simple but well made
I really like the idea of automating wordle, but I wish it was more complex as you get better, but overall a fun game
Simple well made unique concept! Wish it started grey, and wish it had increasing difficulty somehow, either shorter rounds or more complicated words. But nicely polished, well done.
Awesome game, short, sweet, and simple. Only complaint is that I think that the boxes should start grey.
I like how this feels harder than Wordle.
Cool concept and really fun to play, the timing feels just right too. However, I feel like all the letters should already start at grey to avoid confusion and so the player needs less clicks to get the right answer. Maybe you can reduce the timer a little to compensate for this as well? Still really liked the game overall though :)
Yesss. Making the initial state of the letters empty made the players have unnecessary clicks so I actually felt dumb that I didn't think of it during development. And for the timer, it's kinda adaptive to the player's skill level so it will increase as you score more. Thanks for the detailed feedback tho. I'm glad that you enjoyed it!
This is such a simple and delightful concept, even without the clear inversion of Wordle, the only thing I'd suggest is that it'd be nice for QOL if the letters all started as grey.
Fun game, but the letters starting black confused me, I thought that meant they were already set to none and didnt change them and was confused why I wasn't getting any right for the first 10 rounds
I feel very dumb not making the initial state of the button as gray instead of empty. I'm glad you figured it out and enjoyed it!
Very cool!
