Neat, sadly, it bugged out on the "I'm more of a feet on the ground kind of guy" So I couldn't complete the game. :(

I feel dumb for not getting the first answer myself, but got the rest.

I really like the game, the ideia is amazing, simple and challenging. One think... try to do more than one answer in a challange, would be fun to solve the problem in more than one way. Nice job guys.

problems are really hard but it looks to be fun

Quite creative but I got stuck after a couple scenes. A way to give the player more hints after getting stuck would be neat. At the monster scene character speeds a little bit different so after some point player follows the monster :)

Having only a single specific answer for each puzzle made the game a lot more difficult than it needed to be but I did really like the idea.

I was unable to extract this on my Windows 10 machine; 7zip reports "Unable to extract: not an archive".

@bocodillo @danielmotta

Sorry if you couldn't enjoy the game =(, but thank you for the feedback. We will have to do more play testing in the future.

@onat-sayg

We didn't manage to fix it, hope you still liked it.
As for the hint system, we didn't had time to include it.
Plus the starting image with the "start with _______" is a clue in itself.
Thank you for playing and for the feedback !

Pretty cute game :) Kind of difficult to figure what to type in, so maybe could've used some hints?

Nice work :)

Some of the words are really hard to guess. Would be useful to have some hints. I liked the music and art.

Seeing the typing box in the beginning was a bit difficult and some words were kinda hard to guess, but I really like the idea!

UX was interesting for this entry team, and graphics look nice keep it up ! Nice spending time :)

I like the idea of the game but I was mostly confuse at the beginning because the word ground did not worked. I also don't understand why when I run away from the monster I can cross through the borders of the screen, but not when I want to pick the apple.
The graphics, animation and UX are nice.
