I got this idea for a game where, starting from a four letter word you need to go as deep as you can in your vocabulary, changing only one letter per word.
bear -> beer -> peer...
Each correct word gives you 1 point
Each incorrect word takes one life away from you, you start with 3
Love the concept! Although found it a bit leading of easy answers once I landed on a word where changing the first letter yielded many new words (i.e. word like 'time' yielded many new *ime words, or plural words if ending in an s). Felt repetitive after a while. Perhaps a Hard mode where the next changed letter must be a different position?
thanks, the whole thing were prototyped in a day or so. I was thinking about ways to make it more challenging, maybe using 5 letters word, 6... messing with how many edits you get.
I was going under surgery on the day I released this, cause it was my first time going under general anesthesia and i was freaking out. it was a rush against the time to release as is. now that I'm recovering i'll work on it some more.
After the initial prototype, I was playing to see if the game was fun, I realized that from time to time you can get a whole new word by changing one letter. I'm glad you liked it
The keyboard control on mobile is tedious. Have to tap in letter box to get keyboard, keyboard disappears after entering letter, have to repeat for each letter. It'd be a huge improvement to let me type all four letters without exiling my keyboard to mordor.
