i like it, it's got like an incremental/clicker vibe while also having a little bit of strats of how to get the next letter. The other commands were clear but the shears one took a bit to figure out: i came back to it later when i literally had no more moves left to get the letter O and trial and errored it alphabetically. Other than that, it was honestly a good solid game.

Wow, that was fantastic!!! *Really* really innovative idea, I didn't understand everything until about 10 minutes in, but I ended up getting into the groove of the game and actually finished it! It was *LONG*, but I don't really think I can say that's a bad thing -- The art is simple and honestly does it's job just as well as any other style could, along with the new sound effects adding *just enough*, without actually requiring much work to implement!

My takeaway from this is, I have nothing negative to say about this game, it's really really well made and anything I would try to add to it is either unnessesary or harmful to the simplicity of the game; great job, keep it up! :clap: :clap: :clap:
