Really fun game. I really liked the art style and the music as well as the gameplay. However the game crashed (web version) on wave 4. Also if there were 2 words starting with the same letter then then you had to write the word the game wanted first. It was a problem a few times when I tried to kill an enemy and the game thought I wanted to sent the worker to the mine.

@spacecadet Thanks for playing. I think I broke the game while trying to get the screenshots and that bug I didn't have time to fix. ps: I'll start playing entries next week since this week is quite busy, I'll definitely check your jam entry!

The idea is interesting, but the I'm not sure how to play it properly.
I tried running it 3 times but every time I get a red letter and couldn't continue the game.

The xbox word appears to be my nemesis. :)
I'm almost sure I didn't make any mistakes while spelling it...

P.S. - I played the web export version of the game.

@quasilyte Thanks for playing. Red letter means you entered a wrong letter, so you can remove red ones by pressing backspace. It should work in all keyboard layouts but which keyboard layout are you using?

QWERTY layout. I didn't know about the backspace. I'll try it out.
