I enjoyed the learning that went along with this platformer, but I kept wondering about the role of difficulty in the game potentially dissuading a player from getting the full educational experience. Still, an absolutely solid game that I appreciate for what it is. And props to those who keep old Flash games alive.
Thank you for playing the game and sharing your thoughts. It's wonderful that there are communities working to make these Flash games more accessible.
Would you please clarify about the difficulty. Does this refer to the difficulty in accessing or in locating some of the letters? Or to something else?
The developer has kindly offered to try restoring the leaderboard function so there might be an opportunity for tweaks to the game if needed. Thanks again for commenting!
Yes, that’s what I meant. I completed it just fine; I just imagined people with less experience probably not completing all the levels. The game has a difficulty curve that matches other indie platformers I’ve played, but with this thematic message I would have expected a gentler slope.
That said, if the target audience were folks who had played Super Mario before, then that can make sense.
