You're a prosecutor and your job is to annihilate those criminals (I mean, lock 'em up)! Use your rhetoric (or at least your knowledge about the English language) and try to survive as long as you can!

CONTROLS:

- a-z: type letter

- backspace: delete letter

- enter: fire word

- esc: reset current word

- space: pause game

WARNING: To verify the existence of the words I've used the /usr/share/dict/words file, present on Unix systems, alongside with some preprocessing. If it happens that some word you used is not recognized (or one that shouldn't be was recognized), tell me about it in the comments session! Thank you for your help!

I also apologize for the repetitive music, I had completely forgotten that I couldn't use external assets for entering the Compo, so I improvised a sample. I'm just a programmer, so design and music are not my strong points! :(
