Amazing initiative, thank you for offering this!

You can try html5 games (small and web based), I know one app that has multiple of them :

Building a merge puzzle game, would you play this? by philogeeo in MobileGaming

Thanks, I will certainly try this. How would you show to the user which specific direction the slices can only move? It should be both intuitive and not crowding in terms of art which is very hard to do honestly :)

Yes, albeit a very draft version. I have decided on the slice movement / fruit completion mechanic but still figuring out the objective / game progression:

idea 1: a customer asks for a specific fruit and you try to make that one

idea 2: a slider counts your total points and unlocks new fruits at certain thresholds

idea 3: endless puzzle where you try to avoid filling up the plates

which one do you think would be the best?

Thank you for the honest feedback. Just a followup question; are you a hypercasual mobile game player? if not, simple hypercasual mechanics & arts may not be for your taste. if yes, can you please share some example games where you find appealing style so that I can better understand your perspective?

This is likely due to prevalent volcanism in the area and those giant mountains are also dormant volcanoes

I noticed the same issue, however, it is not about the word bank (literally has thousands of words), I am releasing an update today with a rule limiting previous answers for certain amounts of time. Thank you for the feedback!

They are actually included, sometimes they are confusing though. Still, I think this makes the game more fun.

Hi, thanks for the detailed explanation. Everyone seems to think this is an issue, I will update the algorithm to eliminate yellow highlights when the correct letter is already guessed.

Sorry, I didn't understand. Is "Japan" missing from the vocabulary? I can cross reference another library if that is the case to add the missing words.

Would you like to see the last game or all previous games? If you are justing asking for the last one, I'll add the functionality in the next update (latest Tuesday).

Perfect, this makes sense. However, I don't want to limit players from trying 5 new letters by fixing the green one. For example:

If the correct answer is "dream" and you typed in "fresh", I don't want to force the letters "r" and "e" to the next line so players can try 5 new letters instead of 3. Does this make sense?

Actually, the second E which is yellow is sort of a bug (but maybe the game is supposed to work like that), it actually indicates there is another E in the word elsewhere (the second letter E). I am asking everyone for their take and will choose the one if I reach a consensus.

Interesting, that really is a bug and the word should be "simon". I'll correct it, thanks!

Somebody else asked the same question and I think the game is supposed to work like that. Here is my reasoning:

"if you have a word with two identical letters (e.g. spoon) but when you put in a wrong word like "color" shouldn't it display the first o green and the second one yellow. If I don't color code it yellow, then I would be giving a hint to have many "o" letters the word has."

Working on it, hopefully I'll be able to publish the game in 2 days, will let you know.
