How to make an Entire Game on One Screen, with a title screen and an ending screen ? This is the answer.

To play, just use your mouse... but if you want a little hint, you can take control of a letter by clicking on it and you can move it by clicking somewhere else.

This game is very short but fully playable, I hope you will enjoy.

Comments are welcome !


Made with Stencyl, Aseprite, my mouth and my guitar.


SPOILER EDIT:

I like the games where you have to discover what to do, so I didn't want to tell too much... but if you are lost...

Look at the 4 title panels, they disappear when the letters are appearing. You can see panels are splitted in a particular way, so 2 of them can bring to the solution... so how to bring them back ? perhaps by making desappear some letters...

For controls, the A is special, it only do a back flip in a particular direction, but there is a reason, there is a spectator...

Fun quirky entry, wasn't sure what I was doing at the start but did have fun just seeing what would happen. Liked the way each letter had its own little character and the audio worked well in setting the mood.

ok I will give you some hint: the goal is to show the end screen... look at the title screen and I think you'll get it !

Hi there. Love the animations, especially the P. Like the sounds too, especially the Y. Fun idea. Couldn't do much after moving the mole and bringing in the two panels. Good job, but beyond solving quickly for me.

Interesting puzzle. It's hard to understand at the beginning, specially the controls, but just touching around gives clues about what to do. Nice sounds, they're funny :D

So quirky! I managed to figure out how to get the mole to swap sides and how to get the bird to fly... but still no closer to figuring out if there's even any sort of objective for this. I think the fact that it starts with 'play' is maybe all I needed to know really. Muck around, have fun. Which I did!

I like the silly sound effects. A bit too hard to figure out what to do. I started to figure it out, but having the letters hide there got frustrating because I couldn't get them back without restarting.

I love the visual style, it was indeed a bit confusing to try and figure the game out but that's the appeal. Nice work

I won but I don't exactly understand how I won. This was fun to play around with and figure out how the letters moved, though, and the audio was awesome.
