It was a fun little game.

Interesting with both design trick and the hints of each level.
Tips, the level number can turn into typing energy which is a really cool design.

Interesting concept. There turned out to be no connection between the letters I was destroying and the letters I was typing, which threw me for a bit. Also, I assumed (as in regular hangman) that repeated letters would all show up when I typed them, which was not true. Finally, I gave up on PEN APPLE when it wouldn't let me type, but I see in comments that I could probably have nuked the level name and number to get another letter. I wasn't really sure why I had to earn letters in that way - there wasn't a challenge or time limit or anything, so it was just some extra work to do. The clues were fun, although I'd stay away from politics with this.

@dob Thanks for your kind and nice feedback! Actually the idea was "Can I break the texts?", when I tried to made some narrative games I feel really stuck and frustrated. So I changed for a relaxed and simpler game and didn't polish it up. I agree the "text power" and "same letter" things are misleading and I think that's the main problem for now since there's no hint for these information.

Really neat idea. Busting up the letters was fun, even if I could restart as much as I wanted. Played through all the levels, and had a lot of fun figuring out(and sometime brute forcing) the answers.
Great work!

I really love the connection between hints and correct answers! Plus, the num of level can be destroyed is a super cool design.

nice, I struggled to understand what was going on at first but I stuck with it and got pretty far. Great job

Solid idea! Nice take on the classic hangman by introducing hints. The pixel (voxel?) destruction animation felt good. Cool ending colors!

Fun game. I love the twist on the hangman formula and that you had to destroy your hint to type it out.

This is a very clean game. Juice is great very responsive fun to play. I think having to guess the same letter twice to get both instances of it isn't how hangman is typically played, but I had a lot of fun. Well done

Interesting and incredibly polished game, but honestly, the theme integration got a bit annoying. A lot of the puzzles were pop culture based, and I found myself mashing the keyboard and restarting until an answer came out. Because I haven't watched Steins Gate, and didn't care about Minions enough to guess banana (sorry for spoilers...), I ended up cycling through the alphabet. It would have been nice if the puzzles were more general knowledge or actually riddles / puzzles instead of a pop culture quiz. Still though, the ones I understood were really fun, but the mindless wandering and consequential guess, check, restart, destroy text got a bit annoying, especially on the levels where not much 'typing power' was provided.

My favourite puzzle was the tutorial one, because it made me feel smart when I filled in the gaps. :thumbsup:

好难猜啊!不是母语的字谜~有点点提示就好啦!创意超级棒!特别是第一关还是个教学说明文字,结果游戏已经开始了

@justcamh Thank you! The riddle culture problems were also mentioned by other players, this is mainly caused by my unfamiliar about English culture.
@nickykendy 谢谢,其实我对英语圈文化也不是很懂,所以有些谜其实写的也挺牵强的,主要是展示一下玩法啦。
