Game I made where the player has to make anagrams with the word nothing to progress in the level!
The name of the character is Thing! It is a sidescroller platformer with 3D graphics! Models, textures, animations, programming all done by me =) Hope you enjoy!1.png

Dude, this is really cool! Great theme fit and innovation, and cuteness :)

Great game ! I don't feel like the platforming bit was necessary but you had an awesome idea for the puzzles

@twinturbodouche Glad you like it =)
@nodli Yeah... I got that feedback a lot, it seems like I mixed two genres I love (puzzle-based and platformer) but they are too distinct from one another. Thanks for the feedback!

This seems awesome, but I can't play this because Wine doesn't seem to work on this. Can you try building it for Mac/Linux/Web too?

@neverix I'm very sorry for that, I'll lend a Mac OS from my friend and build for MAC soon

@thiago-nascimento why? I thought most major engines support Mac builds? I don't need a mac build (I'm on Linux), a web (HTML5/WebGL) build improves accessibility too.

Really nice idea! Though this is slightly unfriendly to non-English -- I only pass THIN and then I feel sad about my vocabulary when I'm on those moving blocks 😂

@neverix The thing about apple is that even though the engins can compile for MAC, it needs to be done on a MAC... I'm not sure about Linux but I'll see what I can do.

@decappoolla Thank you for playing =) I agree that this is unfriendly to non-English, but what can we do right? it is an anagram game we gotta choose one language to use. But the words I used are fairly common hahaha please try again any time I'm pretty sure you know them

Damn, that's a perfect fit for the theme, great job!! Graphics are nice, but I really love the anagrams mechanic. It was great fun, congratulations!!

This game made me chuckle several times.

It's a very clever take on the theme with a good amount of polish to top it off.
