Interesting game! I included it in my Yogscast Game Jam compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

Im not that good at english so word puzzles are kinda hard for me to figure out, but the art style and polishment of the game is definely a great point! nice characters with different mechanics, and the best one: cute mushy boi xD. Nice job

Bauble BouncerGreat variations on hangman. I so nearly beat the game! I'd left the Well Drawn 'til last (I liked the humour of this character, you'd already proven your art skills with the others so why not!) and had plenty of money saved up. But I thought having 1 remaining miss meant I was allowed to get it wrong once more. I was not as careful as I should have been, and by that stage I really should have been able to guess it. But yes, my only negative feedback is that the meaning of "Remaining Misses" could be clearer. Great game otherwise!

Pyrions and BobasI'm a sucker for word puzzles, and this is a great take on a game like hangman. Normally I wouldn't see much point in making a video game version of something like hangman, but this game here proves that there is much more that can be done with that classic formula. The writing was really charming, and the music was an excellent touch! I'm not proud to admit that it took me a while to realize that everything was an oxymoron, but it was a very fun 'aha!' moment for me! Overall just a great entry!

Kross KartA really imaginitive take on a simple game, and so atmospheric. Excellent work!

Shadow of Xephos & HoneydewHad to use keyboard for level select, but rest of the game was mouse only. let me use mouse for level select. Otherwise, really fun.

Opposites SubtractThe size of the window bothered me a little, it ends up outside the monitor
The idea is very good, it made me relax a lot while playing, even though I was bad at English

MagnetizersVery cool idea with all the different gimmicks, and the different dialogs for each character. My only complaints are that the white-on-black color scheme is very hard on the eyes, and that the gimmicks make it way too hard to beat all the opponents in a row without losing once. The cash helps to mitigate the difficulty though, and the atmosphere is great.

Suits for SailsBrilliant concept, and it was very well executed, great work! I loved the idea, and each character having a different challenge was great, it really kept the game fresh and made playing hangman a lot more fun. I love how the theme was integrated too, with the character names and sentences guessed - very impressive that you came up with so many unique characters, and the little bits of dialogue they had made them feel even more real, which I loved. The atmospheric music and sound effects also added a lot to the fantasy feel of the game, and the sound effects helped give the game some more feedback which I appreciated. All in all a brilliant game, I really enjoyed it - excellent work!
