I want to start off by saying I very much enjoyed this game :)
But it could be better:
- Sound - decent (not engaging but not intrusive either)
- UI - not very pleasing but gets the work done
- Esc for menu - not good when playing fullscreen in browser. Maybe use [M]enu or [H]ome
- Confusing controls...
- Moving on a char felt slippery
- Changing one char at a time was frustrating
- Accidently changing a char by more than one was even worse
- The direction the char changes depends on what key you pressed last: left/right
- You could keep jumping on a char to move it in that direction
- This is a cool mechanic but since it wasn't explained, I'll count it as one of my exploits :D
- Random was not fun to play
- There was no hint for the word so the player has to keep guessing
- But guessing takes a lot of effort
- Ended up just dodging cursors, collecting bits and dashing down to reveal char
Speedrun, on the other hand, was awesome!
My tactic was to get all the letters close to "WOWIE" without getting any correct or getting hurt.
This made sure that there were only 2 cursors at that time.
I would have "XPXHD".
Then I would a char once to it's correct letter, die, change another char once, die and so forth to end up with "WOWIE".
I didn't collect any bits for revealing chars.
I could have done better but I'd spent enough time already :)
I had a lot of fun beating your personal best :D
