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.

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.

This game blew my eyes wide open when I first played it as a kid on my dad's Steam account. Bought it again for myself and it's still peak.
- Well-made puzzles based on a unique concept
- Amazing artwork and witty wordplay
- Incredibly diegetic soundtrack and sound design
It is absolutely criminal how underrated this game is. If it's length (which I admit, is very short) is a deterrence, I strongly advise buying it during a sale.

Very different.
Stages are stylised a bit like Limbo/Inside, you have to move letters around to spell words that will then cause the written action to take effect.
Sounds simple but you’ll kick yourself more than a few times.

A very creative and unique game with cool puzzles (made me sweat a bit, cause English isn't first language). Competed in almost one sitting. Highly worth its price on sale. Recommended if you love platformers and puzzles and want to entertain yourself for one evening. Solid 8.5/10
Очень креативная и уникальная игра с классными головоломками (ломал на них голову, потому что английский - не родной язык). Прошёл практически за один присест. По скидке крайне стоит своих денег. Рекомендую, если вы любите платформеры и головоломки и хотите на вечерок развлечь себя. Твердая 8.5/10

A very charming, short game of word puzzles in an action platformer! There's even fun little easter eggs for certain words, you'll discover some by accident for sure!
