YOGO Letter! by hbocao
Hey guys,
It's my second Ludum Dare, however, in this one I got a partner. It was his first time, and as he didn't want to participate alone and I wouldn't have enough time to make it to the compo, it worked out really well!
Even though we are not very proud of our idea, making it to the end has made us both really satisfied.
We hope you have a really fun time playing our minimalist game.
--------------------
YOGO Letter! is a game where you are challenged to dive into the depths of your mind and try to discover the correct word in the given time! And oh, You Only Get One LETTER!
The game is fairly simple. We give you one letter and you must guess the secret word in the meantime. Once you get the right one you earn a bonus time, and move up a level.
You can guess an infinite number of words, and at every attempt we give you two hints: the number of letters that you hit right in the place (bluish square) and the number of letters that you missed the correct positioning (grayish square).
For these letters you earn time bonuses. Also, you can buy an usage example, the word definition and a bonus letter of the secret word, but it will cost you 75%, 50% and 25% of your time respectively.
The game ends when you run out of time. Good guesses!
--------------------
Made with Visual Studio 2012, C# (Framework 4.5), WPF, Extended WPF Toolkit, MySQL Connector, the "words dictionary" API from www.wordnik.com, and piano hints from www.VirtualPiano.net.

@AnnaGavaldaKedavra What do you mean with "list no user-friendly"? Can you elaborate more, please? Thanks for the feedback. ;)
