This Word Game Is A Masterpiece Of Game Design (Lingo)

Ever since my first video of the game 8 months ago, the amount of content in this game has EXPLODED. I have made 10 custom maps for some reason, there's been lots of custom mechanics and maingame content, rule discovery different-rules maps, it is... insane.

So this is a highlight of the best moments in this game in my opinion, but it's only part 1, the mechanics just go so far, and it is a highly unique experience. I hope with this video that I get to show off part 2 + all of my custom maps :p

This game has seriously changed my perception and way I think about word game mechanics significantly. It's similar to The Witness in that there is a massive world and tons of mechanics you need to experiment to figure out, and like Antichamber in the non-euclidean geometry and navigation. It's attracted the Taiji dev, mapmakers, and Witness speedrunners already as well.

Oh one thing I forgot to mention in the video: to switch between inputting and not inputting text, you have to right-click or press Enter. I think this is hidden away in the Controls ingame but should be more prominent.
