Evert character is resource, the player musst think and move carefully to use these characters. it sounds so interesting!
The game may be better if player can see what words they can construct now! I spent lots of time looking for one character and find it not exists on the map. :smile:
@moonagent F for FOOD? There are alternatives. The more a letter is use in the words, the more the drop rate.
@nickykendy 谢谢
@wxzuir Thanks for your suggestion, word game usually have a hint system.
@smitto Thanks, please try the WIN version for better experience.
A couple annoyances:
1) New letters from killing enemies would overwrite ones I had already placed. But this isn't a huge deal and you can learn to play around it, which does encourage the player to move around more of the field. So in the end, I guess it's probably fine.
2) Enemies would spawn in my path as I was moving around. This was a bit more annoying and difficult to play around, especially when I was fast. Maybe if they spawned offscreen it would help.
Overall, solid concept and gameplay!
@adafheyesh Thanks for your advise! During the jam I had concerns about these issues but did not have full attention to fix them.
@landosystems Thanks!
Super job.
@shelvid I am glad you enjoyed it.
@steffy Thanks!
Also, if u are gonna make the vowels be a different color, it be helpful if they were a different color in the word list as well. Just to visually match to the world easier
Well put together, but only one gripe: how you not gonna put "YEET" up in there?!
Love it when I get together the word "Boom" and nearby enemies explode.
@noobdev Thanks, I am glad you enjoyed the game.
It is an interesting challenge to not die while also preparing the right words.
@lone-wolf Thank you for playing
