What a game jam! It took time to find the idea so I didn't have much time left to build around this concept but I have plan to update the game during the month with more words to find.

Cute little entry!
Anyway, I love what you can do with a minimalist style like this. People often don't realize simplicity like this takes effort too. And attention to detail, like the understated sound-que and one actually falling _faster_ when you miss.
On the other hand, there's not much more to it than that though. I really like the vibes, but well ... even 'hangman' is more involved in its way.
(Are there any easter-eggs?)
Make sure you clearly note it when the game updates, and what you have updated, as that is required (at the very least for Compo/48h), so people have a (sort of) chance to judge what was there initially.
Speaking of uploading things: I was so annoyed that I couldn't find the one with 'F' that I wanted to look up the source-code, but there isn't any? AFAIK that is (still) required for Compo/48h.
The minimalistic visual style and sounds are very nice. It's uncommon for a game jam to have such a good polish, and it definitely helps to give a great experience.
Nice entry!
graphics are cool, music / sound effects are cool, but the gameplay is pretty minimal. great job with the artistic side of things
Love the minimalistic artstyle.
Love the sound design, and ambiance.
really lovely short experience ^^
The game was unintentionally funny when I messed up a word, and the music became more pronounced as the falling man started to fall faster.
