Infinite runner + word game!

I decided to start from scratch for this game jam, so most of my time went into building a simple new game engine. It has tweening, a tiny bit of physics, and most importantly it makes composing game rules easy.

The concept and art are both awesome. Some sound effects would've made a huge difference though. My only complaint is that there isn't enough space to move up and down. I found it difficult to create any words because I ran into letters I didn't want way too much.

GG. I don't know WHY, but I loved the black circles on the ground flying off the screen. The energy that gave was solid. No audio was a bummer, but I understand the time constraint. Congrats on the game!

Loved this entry, took me a while to get a hang of, but once I did, it was actually really fun, got a high score of 73 in the end! Goes with the theme perfectly, too. Sound would've made it better for sure, even some simplistic effects would've made a difference, but for what it is, it's a very fun game.

I found it quite annoying that I couldn't make the words I wanted. The game kept giving me points for two letter words when I wanted to make longer words. Having to reload the webpage after a death is also really weird.

The game has potential, but is currently too unpolished.
