I had fun with this game. The sound effects and the little story at the beginning were very cute. Some words didn't seem to work though, and I wish that the player had more control over what letters were coming. I also seemed to get repeated letters often (like two I's in a row or three S's in a row). Some little improvements and this would be really cool.

Neat word game. Gets a bit hard towards the end, leaving you to the mercy of whatever letter is randomly generated. Perhaps a power up that lets you see +x letters ahead would have made it more manageable. But great game and kudos on the intro!

Very interesting game! You proved me wrong; going into this jam, I thought of a similar vocabulary-based idea, but I figured working with a massive list of lingual morsels would be near-impossible. Unfortunately, on my machine, the display of which letter I was playing next was unreliable and would sometimes not appear at all. So I did not get to progress much into the game :( If you would like to check out my game, and provide feedback, I would appreciate it!

It's not the best game in the jam. But not the worst as well. 

I think you are a beginner developer, as you uploaded your whole project directory. Just the contents of the "Win32" folder should have worked. But now I see your code as well.

Never give up, just keep improving!

I think this is the best tutorial i've ever seen! It's GREAT!

I really like the idea of the game, unfortunatly it misses some words like Vest or Pain, but i think it's superb, surely in my top 3
