Very original and imagitive game. Only two things could improve it, Smaller levels and when you get hit from a powerful word, it shoudnt reactivate all the OTHER powerful words on the screen.

Beautiful game, I am in love with The Nameless City poem, and some of the shorter ones, were short, but had truly great meaning. There were a few times when I couldn't figure out what was what, I found myself trying to avoid or get words that were in the background. I wish that there was more of a contrast between the words and background. I love how the pattern reflected the story(well poem). I liked how you made the words like wind or stair steps as the story talked about them. My only problem was that with the longer ones(like The Nameless City or Alice in Wonderland) I didn't want to do them again to get a better grade. Overall though, I really enjoyed it and give it a 5/5!!! =D

I really liked how beautifully you have visualized these classic texts. It's very playful and artistic. But id doesn't go well together when you are trying to make game out of this. Rather stick with interactive reading form. For example the movement is to fast for me to keep comfortable reading the text and when you trying to also keep good score it's very hard on some places (you need to repeat it again and again) which hold you back from reading. Just few improvements and it could be really great "game".

I'm shocked at the horrible ratings, this is a masterpiece. If you're a 11 year old and you are putting "sucks" or "wut is this??" I have a right mind to slap you. Go play your shooting games but this is something people should love. Although it is long at times it doesn't mean you should sit there and complain about it, just do it faster.

5/5
I Think I might have liked it far less were it not for HP Lovecraft. Poetry makes me angry, but H.P. makes it all better.

Great fun. It was nice to read the poems and Lovecraft stuff, and I did not think that the power words needed to be brighter. The level length was alright, though its not a game I would play through in one sitting. Great work! 5/5

The "I" moves far to slowly for me to read at a comfortable pace. I would like it quite a bit more if I were able to adjust the speed of the game to my own reading speed.

A beautifully executed experience. I think the "gameplay" could use some toning, but I think I'll come back to this a lot.

I fell through the floor, the story disappeared, and I couldn't do anything any more. It was in chapter 3 of that ancient city or something. The game is original and looks nice, but A+ is far too frustrating to get on those very long levels.

wow, this game made me read a lot of short stories that I love already and would have otherwise missed. this is reading made fun. :) the red words are a little too annoying sometimes, but I give this 5/5 for educational value anyways.

Interesting idea and it's fun and unusual but at times the stories chosen (while an enjoyable read and interestingly displayed) are a bit too long for a single level.

It's a very good game, but some of the stories/poems are too long. I was reading the Nameless City, but about halfway through I lost interest in the story.

I spent my time playing this game and finishing the *completion* series , without even realising the time passing. This time caught me playing, and that is kinda important at these kind of games. The Nameless City was wonderful, I read all the 3 parts without realising it.. + if you agree with me!

This game has a great idea. I liked the works included within it, especially 'The Nameless City' and 'Alices Adventures in Wonderland'. However I do think that the game-play took away from the literature somewhat, maybe if you included an 'Extras' menu with just the works. That'd be great. Overall I'd give it a 4/5, for creativity.

I like the concept though having an enemy in the "POWERFUL WORDS" distracts me from my calm reading...and ruins some of my retention...>_>

Awsome game in so many ways, keeps following the story all the time.. when you read and it becomes night. the screen turns dark. witch is kind of a problem when the powerwords are WAY to damn hard to read, i can never see them coming, being colorblind. Face it.. they should be really bright to make it enjyojable. so you can see em coming.. :)
Really fun otherwize.. Thanks!

It's very different in a good way. Most these other games on the Internet are meaningless not saying they are bad. This game is fun and shows you some good poems. 5/5 on the AwEsOmEnEsS Scale!

I was enjoying reading it but as a bit of a perfectionist I couldnt bear to leave words untouched after being struck by the strong words... Rage quitted haha. 2/5

Stunningly brilliant,a masterpiece.The music was amazing,the poems were devine,and I read every word.The Nameless City was my favorite poem.All in all,5/5.

This is a beautiful way to help people, especially the younger audiences read poetry. I love the concept, and it was beautiful how there were letters in the background that helped progress the story. I would to love to see more stories and poems available in this format. Truly a lovely game... wait, did i miss a letter D: . A+, I mean 5/5

gregory weir (i think you meant it to be gregory weird) your games are truly unique and I enjoyed this very much as I some time crave something to do while reading but I can only pay attention to the words. this game provides it extremely well as well as some good imagery. gregory YOU and you alone make the best games on kong if only you had more time to create them.

This game had potential, but poor level design, and programming glitches made it a chore to play, instead of something enjoyable and beautiful.

Well, it's not nessesarily bad, but it's not much of a game. I like the concept, but I would have liked a bit more of a "game" element in it. The stories are pretty good, though. I give it a 4/5.

Ok, I take it back, for some sections having to retouch words did get annoying. Just get rid of the powerful words or have them stay bright the whole time.

The concept is wonderful, using the fundamentals of typography to represent the story told well. I especially like the Nameless City.

In the nameless city I fell between 'sandstorms had long effaced' and 'any carvings which may have.' It respawned me inside the word 'had' and I'm thusly unable to move. I do love coming back to play this game but it does have occasional bugs in respawning. Still love it though :)

Do not all words hold power? Though it would make such a game impossible, it seems wrong to deny the majority of the words in this game the power they truly possess. Though, the comments of those who have played and loved this game perhaps attest more deeply to the power of these words than any mechanic.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I like the idea about the powerful words. Because those words contain some kind of strength that captivate us more than the other words therefore taking our focus away from the "weaker" words. This was also an amazing experience and makes reading a lot more familiar for me.

The Nameless City, long and beautiful. I never apriciated potry before but now I see it as art.It is a wonderful game. This goes without saying but 5/5 and faved. good job.
