Really unique and engaging experience, with some tricky riddles to solve. Can't wait for "a Game 2: The Sequel"!
Its clever, but can become a bit tedious. Some nice sound effects would've helped elevate the game, and perhaps a hint for each level?
Very cool idea and a clever way of using letters themselves as assets.
The only thing i felt was a little confusing were the duplicates in the list of possible solutions at the bottom of the page. But maybe that was point^^
Quite a crafty puzzle indeed, just the 2nd puzzle got me looking through the amusing and perhaps a shade too tiny help link. Clever work.
I can’t believe you got me staring at the wikipedia page for letter “a” for so long. Really creative game and elegant take on the theme. Awesome job!
This game was super clever, very clean and stylish and the puzzles were really neat. I think having the list of "a"s not being in the game itself hurt it a bit, and think the first Enigma puzzle was a little too obtuse in that it's not really clear in hindsight why the correct answer worked, but the game was still extremely solid and really well made for only being done in 48 hours!
I got stuck. I just started copy pasting letters from the bottom the the game's page.
Even when I found the right letter, beyond the first two letters I just didn't see the connection.
Interesting idea though.
Very clever idea. that's a smart way of making a text only game in only 48 hours, and the style is simple yet very polished. I enjoyed all of it!
I'm blown away. I don't usually go for text adventures but this was just too poetic and mind blowing. You earn a badge of honor, my friend
Super fun and unique. Some of the puzzles were pretty obscure, but I like that kind of thing. Great job!
thank you so much! And great work on your game too
This is an extremely unique game! I can't imagine how you even came up with the concept for it. It was really fun going through and trying to figure out which key I needed. I was a bit confused at first, but once I found the list of a's at the button it made way more sense.
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it and figured it out and didn't give up immediately :-)
Really cute and fun little game! I was smiling the whole way through.
That's a really creative concept, which I do like ! And the visuals are really neat and clean, which goes well with the game. It could be even greater with some music, and maybe by addind the different possibilities into the game directly
The game is rather difficult. I enjoyed playing it but didn't get so far yet. I like the simple clean visuals. And it's funny how the hint button just leads to a wikipedia article about 'A'.
This was crazy I don't know about the lack of audio which could compensate for the minimalistic visuals. But overall extreamly inventive game with some great puzzles. I would also love to see the "a"'s from the discription moved higher up becouse I noticed them really late when I got stuck for a good while.
i really like this idea! now i wish i could have gotten further than 3 puzzles with a little hint
great effort! beautiful texts
What a good idea! I had a lot of fun following the story of the little One! :)
Concise and fun game, had struggle to solve the puzzle but they always make me smile at the end
It's a really clever game. The riddles were pretty fun to solve.
very clever game for brAves.
I get 3 right , then unable to proceed. Liked the uniqueness of this game.
