I ended up sampling the game mostly through the level select because after I randomly hit ESC during the gameplay to try and pause, it crashed! And you can't skip the opening??? Might wanna tweak that...

Anyway! Pretty cute 'MIXED BAG' sort of game. It looked visually quite polished and the animations to go along with actions felt satisfying enough, but the sound design was a little lacking. A lot of actions just felt sporadic as for whether or not they'd have a sound to go along with them. Or maybe they were just too quiet... Eitherway- I thought the lack of EMPHASIS with the way sounds were used made clicking and inputting things feel less TACTILE than it could have been; if you get me.

AS FOR THE GAMEPLAY well because it's basically a collection of spelling themed mini games, I'll just go and prattle out my thoughts on each:

The WORM fight was fine but prob my least fav. I'm not too big on word scramble games, and once you learned the few words this one has to ask that's kind of it. The worm attacking you also feels a little uninvolving once you go into SPELLING MODE and basically just acts as timer. I wonder if it woulda been more interesting in a multi-tasking kind of way if you actually had to still dodge while trying to figure out the words... Not bad though! From the perspective and controls, I thought it was gonna be some VAMPIRE SURVIVORS WITH SPELLING kinda game at first.

ALSOOO - if you try to enter a word with Caps Lock toggled, it won't accept it because it only wants lowercases! D:

The KRAKEN game was easily my MOST fav despite how simple it was. I kinda wish the path to the goal was randomized so potentially on replays the thing could remain as interesting. I can see an endless version of this because pretty fun too... I was worried you would be able to just repeat the same word over and over, but I was pleased when you couldn't!! yay!!! gameplay!!!!!

The DRAGON was weird being the most conventional of the 3 at the end of the game, but yeah also pretty enjoyable! Ya know - itsa classic 'SPELL THE WORDS QUICKLY' kinda thing; hard not to find a lil fun. Extra weird that this guy got a unskippable intro cutscene even when played from level select, but I guess he was the final guy so its gotta be EPIC. I get it.

Game crashed a few times during this one too either because I got hit by multiple fireballs at once or???? Yeah I'm just not sure... I DID end up beating him but I missed out on seeing the ending because of the crash and didn't wanna replay the whole thing. Ouch.

I liked it!! Overall I think my takeaway is yeah that lack of TACTILE-ness because of the weaker sounds and the kind of tacky/abrupt feeling you get from the opening tutorial blurbs for each mini game are the things holding the game back a bit and lessening the satisfaction. But solid for what it is!!
