Nice clean graphics that suits the game. I feel like this would make a pretty nice mobile game to kill time!
Though I have the same opinion as one of the commenter below that it's little bit annoying to have to click on the block to type in the text. I feel like having the music be pure instrumental is better, as the vocals are kind of distracting me from my monkey brain to think up of words. The color is also a bit weird in that, sometimes the letters that are completely wrong is highlighted in orange instead of red. If I saw orange I would've thought that maybe the letter is correct but it's in the wrong order instead of not being completely used in the word.
Another thing to add is that maybe a further hint can be used like hangman, where it gives you some of the letters.
As for the reversal part, I struggle to see the reversal part. I feel like it's pretty straightforward to guess the word through the hint. I wonder what does the yellow button do, it doesn't seem to work.
Overall, a nice chill word game!
Fun concept, just wish it actually worked.
Couldn't get the word to play, but had fun guessing from the hints!
Love the style and polished look!
I couldn't get the word to play but great game overall with a lot of potential. I love word games :)!
Not sure why but I couldn't get the word to play, which is unfortunate as I really love word games and the UI looks super clean :(
I liked it. Great fun to play. Thank you
I liked the sound design and the art! I don't think the reverse sound button worked, but otherwise it was very like a crossword puzzle, which was enjoyable!
Really nice music! And I love the art style, very clean! I played a few rounds, but I wasn't able to hear the word in reverse. Not sure if it failed to play or if I just couldn't hear it over the music. I also found it a little clunky to have to click to type in each letter of the word. Having the cursor move as I type or having a keybind like tab or something to move the cursor along would've made the experience much more convenient. But overall, great presentation and fun concept!
