Alone With Your Thoughts by 3ndo
OVERVIEW:
The original idea behind this game was that you'd be able to roam around an environment, collecting objects from which you'd gain their letters. You'd then be able to use these as a means to further interact with the environment (opening doors, story elements, etc). Unfortunately, that was slightly out-of-scope, so the concept has been reduced to this platformer.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Collect the letters in the red chests and use them against enemies by which correspond to the 'keyword' above them. Enemies are as strong as the length of their keyword, though you can use the same (if you find several) letters multiple times.
CONTROLS:
UP/LEFT/RIGHT - Move & Jump.
SPACE - Interact.
A-Z - Use letters. (Enemies must be on-screen).
NOTES:
- There's not much visual feedback, sorry.
- I was meaning to implement Scrabble-like scores for each letter, but whilst writing this I realised I'd forgotten.

Points for fun, and points for innovation. Quite unique, just annoying in the collisions department.
