How can I make my game better?

Hi! I have been working on a word game for a bit now as a sort of side project, and I am at a stage where I think it’s getting to fairly polished and good… Players generally seem to only last a minute and a half though, so I was wondering how it can be made better and more engaging

Personally I’d change the UI, it doesn’t fit. Although the background is excellent!

Actually, I recommend to you recreate UI, and remake background. Make moving camera, make it graphically better, add some locations, like cave, and make buttons bigger please xD

I absolutely love this game! It reminds me of the mobile game Wordscapes, but I prefer your style of gameplay to that game’s.

I agree that stylizing your UI could make the game more interesting, but the music and background are gorgeous.

I have an idea that you could work on down the road: Maybe you could add different backgrounds after certain groups of levels? I think it would incentivize completing levels.

Overall, I love this game and I’m so happy someone thought of this. You are very talented!

I really love the concept and dynamics and the game!
But as other people are saying, I think you would benefit from switching the gui a bit to be more engaging

You should create your game logo using Photoshop instead a button with a text. It would be good if use color on text buttons, like easy level = green color, medium = orange color.

Thanks everyone for the amazing feedback! I have much to work on now… :slight_smile:

Really cool. However, when I resized the window, the letters in the text boxes resized themselves to the point at which it was difficult to read the text. “Back to Menu” also clipped outside the size of the button itself.

Took a bit of a break after losing motivation; I’ve made some changes! -

-Added a hard mode
-Added ruins
-Crunched some nasty bugs
-Fixed audio after the audio update
-Finished multiplayer prototype (I am currently working on implementing it into the game)

Any and all feedback is much appreciated! :cheese:

Either I don’t understand how the game works, or it doesn’t work on mobile. I could hit play but then no buttons work. So, that.

Thanks, I think it’s because my instructions on how to play on mobile probably aren’t that clear, but I’ll look into it:) (and make the instructions better or add a tutorial)

its good but i dont like the UI that much

Made a few changes:

Crunched some pretty serious game breaking bugs…
Added a prompt to mobile devices to help with playing.
Made some visual changes.
Altered levels to fix visual issues & improve experience.

Am currently working on an explore mode too, to allow players to explore the map.

Thanks everyone for all the feedback so far!

Make it so that you can press a keyboard button (preferably enter) to continue to the next level

It’s a slight inconvenience that you have to take your hands off the keyboard and use mouse to continue to the next level
