Game Description
Combine words into curses to banish demons. As you spend time near the portal while banishing demons you will be inflicted with curses yourself. This will make it harder and harder to form words as these curses stack up.

How does your game tie into the theme?
You must create curses (swear/insult) while inflicted with curses (jinx/hex).

make me laught several times to combine words to make insults  and the art style is just amazing. Great job !

Developer

Cheers!

My favourite bit of developing this game was coming up with the words and then still being surprised when they combined in unexpected ways.

Really fun combining curse words to throw insults at demons. Loved the art and music but unfortunately found the font illegible at times! I wish there was some sort of try again or menu pop up when a word can't be written rather than having to reload the page! Great concept and game overall, well done!!

Developer(+1)

Thanks!

Don't know what the medieval monks were doing when they were designing fonts back in the day because this was the most legible medieval style font I could find and I agree that some letters are not as clear as they should be.  Post jam I'll definitely add a font choice because a few people have mentioned it now.

Wow, its harder than it looks. really an interesting entry! :)

Great art style and theming!  I think this game is one of the more difficult ones I've come across this Jam.  Or perhaps my ability to rearrange letters is just shot after staring at scripts too long.  Regardless I love this take on the concept of cursing others and how clever it was implemented.  Well done!

Developer

Thank you!

The difficulty might need a bit of tuning but it was hard for me to tell.  When I play it I'm technically cheating because I've got the word list in my head so I can look at a random jumble of letters and compare them to the word list instead of actually trying to solve properly.

Really funny concept.  A real puzzler too.  Definitely inventive.

I had joked with a friend as we brainstormed for this jam about making a curse-word generator game. This is so much better than I could have imagined. The art style is wonderful and the game play is just tricky enough to be engaging. Great work :)

Developer

Thanks!

I found this reddit post when coming up with ideas and thought that combining two words was too fun to not make into a game.

Nicely done. Loved the look of the game.

Really fun take on a typing game! I love the music & sfx. I felt like sometimes I was not allowed to type something I thought would be valid from the second list. Great submission!

Developer(+1)

Thanks!

Creating the wordlist hid that issue from me as I know what words are in the game.  I think the game is better if you know the words but I don't know how to give the player that feeling without making you remember dozens of words before playing (which sounds like the opposite of fun, haha).

Very unique concept! I completely forgot about taking the curse concept as actually cursing with words! Very fun game, I just wish the font wasn't so hard to read, haha!

Developer(+1)

Thank you!

Yeah, the W especially is a bit odd but I wanted to commit hard to the theme.  Post jam I'll probably add a font option as its a good way for me to learn a bit more about Godot's themes.
