Original Summary

I shared an early version of Middleman here a few days ago. Since then, I put it on itch.io as a free browser game, and someone chose to pay $30 for it. That's $30 gross from one payment, but seeing someone support a game they could play for free felt pretty great. The idea is to find one word that connects two others: HORSE → SHOE → LACE makes HORSESHOE and SHOELACE. I've also been updating it from player feedback: Daily: three shared word bridges. Rush: solve as many as you can in 45 seconds. The score now simply equals the number solved; misses don't subtract points. Endless: untimed puzzles if you'd rather think at your own pace. You can play without a download or account: https://ramimgaming.itch.io/middleman I built it with AI coding assistance. Right now I'm trying to understand what would make people come back after their first session. If you try it, would you return for the daily puzzles or to beat a Rush score? And was the word-bridge mechanic clear on your first visit?   submitted by   /u/Aggressive-Phase-567 [link]   [comments]
