Pretty interesting typing game, and the UI/graphics were really cool. You provided instructions at the start in the form of a wall of text, which I rarely believe works. Some more in game controls on what to do like labels on the floor would be better to guide new players. I liked the scoring screen as well. Nice work!

Wow, this is indeed a fantastic idea for a child-friendly game.
The animations are quite charming, the sounds are satisfyingly pleasing, and the design is truly adorable.

I loved both the art and the visuals, and they paired together perfectly - Really well done aesthetic!

The gameplay was also fun! I had a very hard time on my first attempt, because I thought you needed to create the word while you were running around, but once I'd played through once, I got a handle on the rules.

My only complaint is that I could never find the second O that I needed to finish gyroscope, and had to settle for "gyro" instead 💔

It felt very polished and I really loved the art style. This is a great game for exercising vocabulary.

I think this game could be expanded upon...new biomes, multiplayer, different modes, ect..
Anyway, great job!

Why does this game have so few ratings and comments? I think it's very interesting and cool! It has everything: cute art, cool music and sounds, unusual mechanics, great implementation of an unconventional idea. I think such a game can be suitable for children and people learning English. Great job!

I was very happy to see that there was a game mode for those of us who didn't feel like being stressed. I played a couple of rounds and I must admit I wasn't so much planning while collecting the little critters as just walking around and doing their word challenges and then afterwards trying to figure out what kind of word I could make.

Some minor details:

- Since the game could be played with just keyboard, it would have been nice to not need the mouse at all. Binding Done to long press of enter perhaps and having navigation of menus with WASD.
- Sometimes the prompts when collecting the creatures, their word dialog could end up partially blocked by the scenery and I had to guess what the exact word was.

Really nice entry.

so charming and fun

I wish I had some idea of the values of letters before the end of the round

Yeah, the idea is cool, graph as well interesting. But i wouldn't really agree with the theme usage, i don't think its the best game on the theme tiny creatures, but overall its a good game

Nice and simple to understand concept, really well executed and really cute. This feels like a very complete package of a game. The sort of game that teachers could get their students to play while learning :)

What a cute, unique idea! This was really cozy and fun, love the sound effects and absolutely adore the art - looked like a pop-up book. Loved that charming melding of 2D and 3D. Overall, maybe I'd like some more variety of mechanics and objectives, but the sheer amount of polish you put on this game cannot be understated. Extremely well done!
