The Magic Word
The Magic Word
Compete with your friends for the best highscore in this high-pressure, time-based word-search typing game!
This is a proof of concept of the fundamental gameplay loop for a full-fledged game project, which will include some roguelite elements, characters you can build relationships with, and a story to experience, all of which will be reliant on finding the right words. This will take a while, as I work on this in my free time, and with limited experience. :) You can find a more detailed plan here.

I got "I L M" on the first level and apparently "mill" is not a word? My dude, it's like one of the only if not *the* only word you can make from those letters.
Tried it again, got "I L W" and it's gaslighting me and saying "will" is not a word. I am pretty sure it is.
Sorry, I update the game pretty often and because I was working on the dictionary I think I had it totally borked, haha. Should be fixed now!
Heya, I enjoyed playing multiple runs of this last week at Play Dev Club! Playing it now, I am somehow stuck on the very first level, with multiple reloads:
[S M O] Moss is rejected
[L A T] Tall is rejected
[L F E] Feel and Fell are rejected
Bug?
I'm checking out Metal: Hellsinger, thanks for the recommend. Can I send you a future build of my rhythm shooter for feedback? I'd love your take on a fresh version of it since you're a fan of the genre.

Yes, plz add me on Discord and send me your space circles rhythm game! <3 Was lovely meeting you!
I got stuck on the second level.
This is devastating news! I guess that means the game was at least functioning at the time, unlike what the other commenters got, hah. If you'd like to try again, my advice would be to try mouse hovering the game elements, they have tooltips that try to explain what to do!
