4th Place - Text Adventure Literacy Jam 2025
Ratings and Reviews
| Average Rating: Number of Reviews Written by IFDB Members: 1 |
This game was fun to play in the Text Adventure Literacy Jam.
It's a wordplay game based on shifting rhymes, and written with Adventuron. I really appreciated the extensive explanations and help early on, the colored text and the little hints really helped me navigate the game.
The images went perfectly with the game as well, having the same whimsical vibe as the rest.
Gameplay was simple in a pleasing way, good for the context the Literacy Jam, but there are a ton of accomplishments that I didn't achieve which diligent players could search for.
I liked the game overall, but I don't see myself revisiting it; it felt like a one-time satisfying play.
