Not easily at least. The size does depend on your screen resolution so the bigger the rez, the smaller the cursor while everything else scales proportionally.
Love this game, but in a word game like this dictionary is everything— and this dictionary really needs some weeding. Aside from a bunch of acronyms that shouldn't be included, I just put down a word short for raccoon and got the offensive definition "a black person." Also, yeah, sometimes the game just decides that you've lost when you haven't before you even see the next block. Again, I love the game— I just wish the dictionary was better.
Nice game too, i like the graphics, the addition of a multiplier (you don't see things like risk and reward everyday), and the fact that it isn't laggy at all.
(edit: it's been 9 months since this was posted, and i'm now past 1,000 on leaderboards!!)
Right, got it working! I do think rotation would be useful re: words, and choice over which word it picked. Very interesting concept though and loved the graphics, would love to see it taken further. Another thing-- it somehow didn't accept "pan" as a word, which was confusing
EDIT: Weirdly enough, PAN worked fine another time.
Great game! I saw this in the full video of the entire livestream, which contained the most popular games from the jam, on Jonas Bonus. (Jonas' second YouTube channel.) I was immediately attracted to it. I played it as soon as I could, and was pleasantly surprised at how well balanced and fun to play it is! Good job to whoever developed this!
I feel like the game is almost too random? Since you have only one piece and you can't rotate it, You can get "useless" pieces all the time. On the other hand, if you go for the "risk-reward" system with combo, you can get a piece which contains a word by itself and It'll get counted no matter what. I think that having two, three slots with blocks that you can pull from would make the game much more strategic in nature.
Yup, you are very much right! I'm afraid that block rotating would make it too complex, quite a few people already said they just played it by placing blocks pretty much not considering the letters at all. Of course it was a jam game and some people don't really have the patience to play the games properly and just mess around with em for couple of minutes so that isn't something to really cater the game around though. But having a kind of block "hold" has been suggested and is pretty much exactly what you described too. I think that might be a very nice addition here. I guess I'll have to try these things out.

Not included words (reply with more):
a limit of only 9 characters for the name doesn't let me put in my username :c
WORDIs there any way to make the cursor smaller? The big ham hand makes seeing the letters nigh impossible.

I think it would be nice to update the cursor since it's a point many people are asking, and it really does get in the way of the letters
Amazing game, however, the word "raw" is not accepted. would it be possible to add this to the dictionary?
got 1145

the creator desperately needs to upgrade the dictionary
i love this! i wish the hand cursor was slightly transparent so i could see the letter under it, though

Looks really good but can't play in browser nor open the download on Mac!
youre using a non-unitywebgl browser
on your system you've probably not tried

I turned on WebGL dev features on Chrome, that enables WebGL.

Thanks for playing and the feedback! ❤️
Uh-oh. I didn't think I'd get on the leaderboards... and, uh, you can probably see why.
is there a way to rotate pieces?
No, for now at least.
