Actually, this is a fun game! Some of the levels are pretty hard!

There are levels quite complicated but it's super original well done !

It was very easy until the HAT, I tried several times but I did not find the solution!

It is a very clean and neat concept, it looks very similar to a lot of puzzle mobile games with design art

Impressive for the time you had to do it, well done =)

This is so clever and well executed! The polish is very neat as well, so clean :D

This is a really cool and refreshing idea! I've been interested in word/letter-based game mechanics, and this is a nice example of one. I got stuck at CAKE for a while, though, due to not being able to figure out what exactly "snapping" letters referred to. Perhaps slightly more guidance would be useful - including reminding players that the level can be restarted while they are playing, not in the main menu. Eventually, I cleared the game, though - and would love to see more!
