Wonderful execution, and the graphics are awesome. It is really hard to think up words and then build words off them!"},{"author_name":"philomory","author_uid":"1112","time":"Aug 30, 2012 @ 5:44am","epoch":1346305140,"text":"Pretty good! The bit where you have to chase down the letters is a *bit* tiresome, but overall it's a lot of fun. I especially think it would be cool for you to add more ways for the creature to vary with the words.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I should note that, on my machine, the tree view didn't actually work. It showed all the branches overlapping each other straight down the center.

I had a little trouble with the interface at first until I realized I could drag the letters around and add them to the word (reading the README also helped).  Not being able to add letters unless you made an intermediate word is a little frustrating but makes the game a lot harder.  Well done!"},{"author_name":"Maple","author_uid":"1551","time":"Aug 30, 2012 @ 5:59am","epoch":1346306040,"text":"Very interesting game!"},{"author_name":"hamster_mk_4","author_uid":"4265","time":"Aug 30, 2012 @ 5:59am","epoch":1346306040,"text":"I really like the word tree graph at the end. You really should put something in about dragging letters on to the core word. I spent a while mashing my keyboard. This game feels like it is missing something, I can't quite put my finger on. Word games present a complex challenge for computers. I appreciate your effort in trying to expand this genera."},{"author_name":"timtipgames","author_uid":"15341","time":"Aug 30, 2012 @ 6:02am","epoch":1346306220,"text":"Hey there, I'd like to play and rate this game, but I can't find out how to interact?
