how is your word list multilingual :)
It is a single language but the dictionary that I am using have some of the common used words daily and sometimes some of them are not English :)
I loved it! Congrats :)
Thank you 🙏
Fun game! I love the concept. The limitless play is fun but another mode with an end goal would be nice (e.g. beat a certain score on the leaderboard, beat a final boss using abilities, collect 10 bonus hearts, etc)
Thanks a lot, I want to add more stuff and achievements but will do that later :)
Forgot to congratulate you floor getting more than 1000 in score
At first I thought it was a Tate mode lynx game ;-)
Would be cool on a retro platform like that (or pico8)
yuppy :) I think so, I just wanted to not have restrictions on the dictionaries and other English detection problems that pico8 suffers from.
I hope that you enjoyed the game :)
