It's a reference to a song, if that helps!
This game will make a thesaurus out of you!
Easy to play and pick up- the only advice I have is to
A.) Make the map smaller, or add a map
and
B.) a prompt when you get to the end telling you to press Enter to step forward the mission.
I loved this!
I would suggest to indicate somehow how many tries you still left. Maybe tell you the answer when you get it wrong also.
It's a really innovative concept, well executed, and funny. This is a perfect jam-game; you can see the idea and almost all of the content in a few minutes but it's also fun to replay and try to get a perfect score. I really like the ending text. I was impressed that even on my seventh playthrough I was still encountering new riddles. I loved the music. Awesome job!
My shock aside, nice game! Lovely music. 💜 This could have easily worked as just a typing game with no setting or graphics to talk about but the fact that you added those as well as a little story adds so much! Character is really nicely animated too, if only in one direction~ Was fun trying to figure out what words they wanted. Nice work!
