fun game. the gimmick of switching around letters is quite an interesting one, and makes plenty of interesting puzzles, and many pose quite a challenge.
however, the way the player has to move around letters is annoying, especially as they are expected to manage more and more letters. i wished there was a sort of "dimensional pocket" for the unused letters, so that they don't get in the way of the player's surroundings...
additionally, while the art direction of this game was good, there were times when ledges were not clear and i would accidentally throw off a letter down a cliff. i wish surroundings were more clear so that the player could navigate better.
the story isn't much to note, and also a bit short, so i would buy this at a discount. still, it's a good game, and i wished more people played it.

Genuinely a pretty good game. It's entire premise of words being everything is really cool, and it does a great job at creating enemies with these words and also putting fitting word combinations on the screen to match what is currently happening. My one complaint is that the puzzles this game has can be VERY specific sometimes. When you have a lot of letters and only a single word that solves the puzzle, it can be very difficult to figure out, and you can end up just getting stuck. However this game was still quite a lot of fun, so I would certainly recommend giving it a play.

I expected this to be a normal platformer with some letters thrown around as boxes to move but as I've played it I've realized that EVERYTHING around this game revolves around making words
The amount of details you'll find in this, from the hero being made of the actual letters of "HERO" to the enemies being built from "DOOM", this game will keep surprising you
And when you thought you've seen all the combinations you start seeing more options, and at this point you would just call it "Wordle The Game" because when playing this you'll just solve many wordles
The amount of work that went into all of those details is unreal and I want more games to do this

A short, but sweet experience! Super cool style and fun little puzzles. If ya want a short, but fun and kinda edgy game, I highly recommend Typoman!
