2 years later I’ve finally found this game again!! This was my favourite entry of LD45 and whenever I think about game jams I’m always reminded of this entry :) Time to add this to my collections so I don’t lose it again ^^
I am honoured that it is your favourite entry! Thanks so much!
Apparently contorting isn't a word :(
Yeah it only checks scrabble valid words from length 3 to 9. >_<
FRUSTRATED! 400 words and only the V needed (5 others missing) and computer crashed...... Save option please???
For V, think of what objects look like the letter V.
Helps for most other letters too :)
Save option coming... not very soon.
if you type school you get a pen (L) and a that one thing that is used to remove staples (V)
After almost 800 words "I won" but no victory. (No V, the rest was there from a really early point) Such a clever game that kept me in and even searching words online, trying to figure out what letters some things represent. (The coin was really a stupid misunderstanding of mine, for over 200 words at least.)
The music imo is a bit annoying, and that bzzt really kills it even more. Finding the right positioning with some stuff were a bit tedious at times. Still I think it's a good game. I played it for several hours during a few days. Struggled with a really small variety of letters. Currently at 835. I would make it autosave game, cuz sometimes you just want to leave it aside and get back another time. I did it by leaving the tab open.
Heyo, thanks for your feedback :)
You can turn off the music by spelling mute/silent/similar words.
Also, there are more than 1 way to win(or lose).
Someone also made a walk-through here with hints. Spoiler alert ofc.
the coin was tricky
Fun game! This would make an amazing mobile game.
Great!!
Thanks :)
