Very creative! Its very unique in the challenge, so good job!
Wow! such a creative concept and the execution is great especially considering this is your first jam!
Well done for creating a complete game within the 48 hours :]!
This game is quite fun and rewarding, it definitely makes you second guess yourself sometimes.
The art-style is quite simple but effective for the purpose of the concept.
I like the reversed dictionary theme it’s really unique.
Four a self-proclaimed amature regarding game jams, you're game shore does have alot of efffort put in to it. The idea of halving to mispell words on porpoise is truely ingenius, and your excecution of this concept led to an experiance that was not only humorus, but educational! It seriously did'nt occurr to me that the word "raspberry" has a "p" in it untill I played this game. 10/10, wood defiantly reccomend this game too my freinds!
As a philologist I rate this 5 out of 5 :D
Love the chaos and the gameplay simplicity, great job!
Nice concept!
If you add highlight what is wrong after accept/reject. It would be an educational game then :D
This humiliates both my english skills and ability to neglect the correctly-spelled words. Nice!
A dyslexic's worst nightmare. 10/10.
Holy sh*t for some reason this game is super funny, there’s something about being a dictionary that only accepts wrong words, and its also super challenging to get a good score, heres my best:
Really challenging, but fun.
This is so difficult - not because of the mechanics, which felt very well balanced and a good level of challenge - but because there's something in my brain which just won't let me accept the wrong spellings! Once I got over that I had a lot of fun here :)
The music is great too! Between the catchy tune and my impulse to try and beat my highscore I found myself coming back for "one more try" more than I expected
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it
Simple concept and tricky game! Especially for those of us who are bad at spelling! Great job, I'm always impressed by how much people get done during a short jam!
Thank you! As someone who can't spell, play testing was a nightmere full of low scored runs.
Legitimately hard for me to keep it square in my head that I need to accept the incorrect spellings. Great job!
Thank you! While playtesting i kept thinking it was bugged when id accept a correct word and lose health. its very hard to condition yourself to accept wrong words.
I like how you really need to focus to play this game, especially since you have to recognize WRONG word so your brain is doing overtime!
Loved it. Super difficult, and howe dare yu make me lern to speel. Mye speling is amzing!
They should add a high-score for spelling in real life too.
Thank you! I think you'd win in every spelling contest.
If you added a gamemode where I can barely read words and have to guess them based on instinct, this would be on the level of Push the Cat. 10/10, would give to 5th graders in Iran.
Great idea, really hard to play, especially if English your second language :D
