I have seen a few typing/wordsearch + crafting games on here this weekend (great minds... :smile:). I think this could make a really cool magic/enchantment system.
I did notice in the web version that I couldn't type a hyphen, so when I got to a hyphenated word I had to stop.
2. The game mechanism can be further polished. Now I get bored too quickly :-p
Don't worry about it though. My winning/end screen is also a bit dodgy. xD I had to quickly work on it on the last 50 minutes or so before the end of the compo.
I had some problems with the game repeatedly not noticing characters, so with every second word or so I ran into typo problems, which was a bit frustrating as I had to force myself to type slowly to avoid this. As nobody else seems to be mentioning this it might be related to I don't know what, my system or browser maybe (Windows 7, Firefox 59 currently).
