Wordz by Grafter

[raw]
made by Grafter for LD27 (COMPO)
First Submission into Ludum Dare, kept it simple with a word finder puzzle.
You have 10 seconds to select the letters to make a word, submit and if the word is verified gain additional time.
Aim of the game is to make as many words as possible and stop the timer form ending!
Letters do not need to be next to one another!

Interesting. Took me a while to realise letters didn't have to be adjacent to one another. Should have looked at your screenshot first.

Very hard, and not very touchpad friendly :)

Thought you got given the word to find initially. It's a nice take on it and well done. Quite addictive, like bejeweled

It's awesome, but could've used another aspect to it, like score for power ups :)

Simple little word game, very challenging but great! I featured it in my Ludum Dare 27 video compilation, if you'd like to check it out :), http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GZNeIKxvyg

Really cute game. One of a number of games this LD that are let down by the theme making it too hard - ten seconds is a really harsh initial timeout for this kind of thing. Nevertheless, a good idea and a fine implementation, and still a fun game.

These games are always incredibly addicting, and yours is no exception. :D

The hard time limit gives it that magical "just one more time and I'll hit 60" factor.

I just have two pieces of criticism. I and T are a bit on the similar side. Also, it would make it a bit easier if you could submit or reset with the keyboard (or if it auto-reset upon invalid words).

Minor niggles aside, a lot of fun, nice job. :D
