Ok I got super confused at first I thought I needed to find anagrams and I could not find any. (Didn’t read the rules)
Then I did, and I still couldn’t find any. My brain was thinking either anagrams or swapping one letter without changing order, but not both at once. Like for “stob” I had “bots” and “stops”. Idk why but I couldn’t get my brain to adapt, but I don’t have a very normal brain. Also I’m not a native, that doesn’t help 😅 And I’m pretty tired rn.
Maybe give a suggestion of a solution when the time is up so that slowly you can learn more words. And the definition too. That would make for a great casual mobile game I think (there’s probably already some with that concept I suppose)
Wait I just got “gamin”, that’s not an English but a French word right? I’m so confused now.
Way too hard for me, but interesting take on the theme!
Thanks for playing, I agree that having suggestions if you get stuck on a word would be helpful but I didn’t implement it yet because the algorithms might’ve taken a while.
Hello :) Cool game, I love words games. It took me a while to understand the rules (which are clear tbh, but I just didn't click on the rules button - I assume a lot of players did not)
Fun game!! Wrapping my head around the replace one letter and shuffle took a moment to figure out. But once I understood that it was fun!
Thanks for playing!
Very interesting idea! At first I thought my English is way too bad for this game, but eventually I've managed to get to 2 digit score :) But it was hard! :)
The rules were a bit confusing to me because they showed what's not allowed, not what's allowed, which made it unclear whether all three rules must be respected or any of them. But after reading a few times both rules and examples - I got it :)
Fair point, the rules could have been explained better, thanks for playing!
really loved the graphics!
Thanks for playing!
Nice entry. It's still fun single player, just to see how long of a run you can have. I imagine that coding an AI player for this type of game would be murderously difficult.
Yeah, I toyed around with having a CPU player or even just a hint button, but both would’ve been more complexity than I wanted to deal with at the moment. Maybe if I update the game in the future. Thanks for playing!
Fantastic idea! It was a bit hard to play with the timer on, but the option without it was great :) We had a lovely time scratching our heads n.n
Yeah, adding a way to remove the timer makes a nice zen mode to get you thinking without all the pressure!
fun game, although I feel like it is a bit difficult if you're not a native english speaker. Would be cool if you could upload a dictionary yourself. Still a cool entry!
Thanks for playing!
Very fun game, cool way to incorporate a word game into the theme!
Thank you! I’ve wanted to make a word game so this felt like a great opportunity for it.
Phenomenal game. Love that theres a local coop way to play. We played 45 round and it made almost an hour fly by. I would play this as a party game with friends and probably will. Very clever and unique to do a word game for a game Jam and crazy cool that the word truly does go through metamorphosis
Thanks so much! I hoped this game would be something people could play at party games and just to pass the time with friends and family, so I’m really happy you feel the same!
I don't like word games and couldn't figure out the rules, but I gave this to my partner to try and they enjoyed it!
Thanks for giving it a try, I know word games aren’t for everyone!
