list of suggestions:
- either add crossword clues or allow any eligible word or show partial matches wordle style
- don't start timer until the setup animation is over
- projectiles freeze and don't disappear when en route to an enemy that's already dead
- allow keyboard input for entering words in crossword
- add health bars to enemy units
really good start. I hope this game is developed to its full potential.
Is the crossword just a guessing game? I had S_L_ and there seemed to be no way to tell that the word was sell as opposed to solo or sale or sole...
