How does your game fit the theme?
1) Most of the reversed words in the game corresponds to a “role”. 2) The roles in the game is reversed, so you move the grid of crossword instead of filling grids with letters.

Unique and very interesting, despite it was a bit difficult to understand it at first! Anyway it's a completely undertandable thing for a jam game, so not a big deal. Good job :D
I was totally confused for the first five minutes. After reading the description for the third time I finally got it. It's very cool. I liked it a lot. The part where you have to undo a prior answer to redo it in a more useful position is super cool. This is such a fascinating idea. Awesome work,
I like the concept a lot! Didn’t expect to use a dummy tile in the form of a dot though since I was expecting the usual rules of a crossword puzzle.
I admit I have to use the key for this one since I’m a bit tired..
Crosswords is not really what I would play, but the theme interpretation is really cool : You don't just move the grids where you put letters, the words you find are all reversed ! Word 8 was really confusing at first but thanks to your screenshot, I was able to get it right.
Hardcore, but I enjoyed it a lot! Great work
hummm.... ?!?!??? OK! now I get it...
Neat idea! Cool way of incorporating a word game into this prompt.
Yay! I did it! I love this game, very addicting and yet a good difficulty! It took a lot of thinking to beat, which I like! Would love to see an even bigger puzzle in the future!!
Neat concept! Felt like a wordsearch with fog of war. Good job!
nice game it's just too complicated to me lol.
and also my game isn't getting many views, can you try it and give me some feedback ?
Must say, pretty cool! I was stuck at princess too, but couldn't solve it myself so I borrowed the cheatsheet. A genius idea that could've used some calming music at least <3
An interesting and nicely presented challenge. I think I would have enjoyed it if all the letters were visible, as opposed to just the adjacent letters, as I thought the most clever part of the game was puzzling about how to rearrange the grid, rather than actually finding the word. I also feel like the theme wasn't used that well, in that I think this game would function equally well if the words were the correct way around! Nonetheless, a cool concept and a great entry!
A Cool And Challenging Puzzle Game! I Really Love The Concept And Everything :D
Very cool puzzle!
Fun puzzle! I wish the game was clearer about when I was no longer supposed to be looking for SELOR, I know that the hint part updates but I think by making the player find SELOR more than once, it seems like the hint is just part of the background so I didn't even notice that it had changed until after a few minutes of searching for more instances of SELOR.
i loved how your game is unique and the take on the theme is really fresh!
i got a bit sad when i found out that i need one more block and for that i have to disassemble a bunch of words :( maybe there was another decision though, but i couldn't figure it out :D
a little tutorial would possibly help :)
also the words and their definitions seem so nice, liked it. it's definitely dangerous to go alone!
Thank you for playing! Indeed a tutorial will help, but I didn’t make one this time ;(
You can actually avoid disassembling words by using the reversed “LADDER” word. There’s another “LADDER” somewhere (you can check the word list / full map), and with the help of “LADDER” you can have just enough blocks.
Glad you liked it! xD
Really cool idea. Clean execution. Add some sounds, more words and maybe some additional mechanics and you can already sell it. Well done!
Really unique idea and nice clean work on it!Need a better tutorial though.
This is the most unique take on the theme i've seen so far. The game could probably do with having some music rather than just silence.
Really liked the concept of a reverse crossword. Very unique idea. The only thing I would suggest is a tutorial where the game walks you through how to play and how to get each word. Overall great submission!
