  • I actually thought this was a horror game at first (sorry Boris but you’re a bit scary)

  • Somewhat related but Boris reminds me of Papyrus from Undertale

Edit: I just looked at the thumbnail and turns out it’s not just a coincidence!

  • The tutorial dialogue is really polished. I really appreciate the word highlighting and the use of animations and images instead of just plain text as I have a tendency to skip through stuff like this

  • I think the “Why don’t you give it a try?” screen is a bit confusing. At first I didn’t realise I had to use the wordbox

  • I wish skipping through the tutorial was faster (I had to go through it again as I switched browsers a few times)

  • The typing sound effect feels a bit repetitive and “spammy” (i.e. it feels like the sound effect is being played way too many times). I don’t know if you’ve already done this but randomising the pitch of it might help a bit. Also, I think the sound effect should only be played once per character (bit of a nitpick)

  • I feel like the theme interpretation was a bit of a stretch but I can see where it comes into play

  • Definitely my favorite entry so far. I absolutely love all the wordbox responses from Boris! Very addicting quite difficult as well. It took me several attempts but I won with a score of 35500

I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)

It does tell you in the tutorial dialogue that you have to hover over the wordbox and press spacebar, but I forgot to highlight any of the words in that sentence so it makes sense that you missed it. It does make it seem like the information isn't important.

Being able to skip the dialogue is a good point. I'll probably add a "skip tutorial" button and the option to skip a dialogue line before it's been completely written out.

Randomising the pitch is also a good tip. I'll make sure to fix that once the ratings are done and editing is enabled again.

Haha, yep, I later realised that. I really do need to pay more attention to tutorials
