UPDATED VERSION (SEPTEMBER 30TH)
https://riker.itch.io/world-of-wordcraft?secret=pr6RPFf2fw8ilFAdQOuexdJpqM

We fixed the hitboxes, and added a new room.
Rarely we are still losing some letters or words, but we will get to the bottom of this!

    I wasn't particularly interested when I 1st saw it, but after giving it a try, I love the idea, sounds like a really fun game, if it was a bit more polished and had enough content, I would buy it :P

    Really clever idea! Couldn't get past "key" though which is the first thing...am not sure if it's a game or user error...

    Can't seem to run the game :/ Not sure if it's a Chrome problem. Could you upload a .exe?

    I love the concept of this game so much.
    But I couldn't figure out the COIN and BOX puzzle, not sure if I'm missing something or use error either.
    Also some letters permanently disappear if I press ESC while they are entered into the text box.

    It's a shame the word get's deleted if they don't work, didn't get past the 2nd room either yet, too bad I couldn't bust out the walls with my train :P
    Also tried to create a nob or rat but no luck

    @leonalchemist2 Oh no, that's a bug. Thought we already fixed that...
    @Enthused_Dragon The next step would be to make a BIN out of COIN and BOX. Thanks for reporting that bug, we'll get that fixed in the next build.

    This game is unique as hell! The narrative part of it really had me wanting to go further, to the point where I used an online tool to look at words that can be made from BOX and COIN. The answer ended up being BIN. I was disappointed that the game ended so soon though :( . Some criticism and annoyances I had: Clicking words didn't immediately show in my backpack, I had to open the backpack to see. Also, typing the wrong word forced me to restart because I couldn't get the letters back, don't know if I did something wrong. Besides that, this is totally a game I'd play on my phone if it were more fleshed out and had a story tied to it or something. It feels really good finding the right word!

    The game is quite unique, I love the crafting spin of creating items through words, and how each letters opacity is lowered as you type them. I however could not get through the box and coin puzzle, it's probably because I missed something, but all in all an amazing game.

    Made it to the end :)
    Very cool concept and the final version looked nice! I enjoy escape rooms and puzzles so this definitely got my attention.

    Since the game is purely text I feel like some nice sound effects and background music would really set the mood and "take me there".

    I'd happily escape another room in future :D will be keeping an eye on this one!

    I've been having a lot of fun with this! Really clever concept.

    And everything feels super smooth and clean.

    Still haven't escaped yet though, hopefully, I will soon :)

    This is an amazing game idea. Its a really mind bending text based adventure. I look forward to seeing progress of the game in future
