Saw the trailer for this for HKU at this is seriously impressive for just two days! Really cool game mechanic and the art looks very clean!

Hello I'm the artist that partnered up with Simon/Malmarrs for this game jam. Thank you for the kind words, I heard your project won first place at HKU. Congratulations. That's amazing, you must be very proud!

You did an excellent job! The art looks very clean!

And yeah! I will say that we were amazed, I feel like a lot of games were better than ours (this one included). I think we coincidentally managed to appeal to one of the jury members, who was dyslexic and saw a lot of educational potential in our game, which focuses on fighting with words.

It’s great when you’re able to make something that connects to a community you didn’t plan for it. The votes are subjective and it’s about personal taste, the jury member saw potential in your project! So be proud of it!

It’s quite a shame, I need to ask Simon if he can share some of the games at your event. I like to have a look through the games after a jam is over, I’ve been doing it for mine as it was hosted on itch. Got any favourites you can recommend? Also again, well done! Haha

Yeah, I'll still be proud of it haha

and you should be able to see the games here!
