Was correspondent intentionally misspelled in the word bank but spelled correctly in the puzzle itself?

the rows being randomly offset was funny

cool lil game with amazing art

Nice game idea, the small text was hard to read, but I take that was by design, like someone else said it was just fun to scribble everywhere.

lmao this rules! Even though this is mostly a dumb joke, it's so much funnier because of how much care and attention to detail went into the art.

I love the art style! Fun joke

i just drew everywhere lol

My feel when it took me forever to read the letter from Blitheport only to realize how my slowness would impact everything...

A very fun gimmick! Sure there's not a lot of depth to it, and there's no music, but it's very charming in it's commitment to the joke. The sprite art is gorgeous, and the little touches such as the fonts used, the witty dialogue, and the way you can freely draw wherever you like adds a lot to it. 

A simple game you'll be done with in minutes, but oozes charm in every detail.

I wasn't sure if i was looking for parallels I found parking i thought was clever and from there I was very confused lol. 

Opening with a word search was as Scrunglium pointed out bold lol.

I’m confused. Pretty sure I just got royally trolled. I spent like 20 minutes just marking different things to see if anything would happen. It looks like something is supposed to happen. Is something supposed to happen?

Regardless, for the brief time I believed that the word search was only introduction to whatever would come next, I just thought to myself “what a bold move for a game to OPEN with a word search.” Also great aesthetic and ambience.

I was expecting perpendicular words but was sorely disappointed. It is okay though because there are enough perpendicular words that I could invent my own fun ("fake" "fun" as the young people call it)
