A beautiful little game that I wish there was more of. A simple concept executed to perfection.

Jan. 2025

This review is specially made for those who like to get all the achievements in games (minor spoilers ahead). Description: Word Factori is a casual puzzle game where you have to transform a simple “ I “ letter in all the letters of the alphabet and other symbols by bending, rotating, mirroring and putting together that initial letter and, later, other more complex ones. On each level there is a word divided in its letters that work as the delivery point for the letters you make. The game lets you focus on the letters by not forcing you to optimize pathways and the placement of the buildings The graphics are simple and minimalist but the game manages to have its own flair: simple figures with bright colors over a math copybook background pattern and a handwritten-like font work very well together. If you prefer there is also a dark mode if you don’t like bright screens. The background songs are good but unfortunately there aren’t many, so after a few hours you’ll get tired of hearing the same songs on loop, but you can easily find background music of the same low-fi electronic on youtube. The gameplay is simple to learn but the most important thing is to visualize the letters and break them apart by their pieces, like how a “M” is a I shape + V shape + I Shape . The rotating and flipping effects final results are easy to guess, but the bending and combining of shapes is less predictable, but on the other hand trying different things and discovering new letters or even secret characters was one of the more fun parts of the game. The challenge levels add a bit of difficulty but most of the time you only need to figure out a less obvious way to make a certain letter. There are a few secrets and some letter recipes that you probably won’t find on your own but if you go straight to the guide and don’t try on your own the game will last only a few hours, and even less if you use the “letter template shortcuts” right from the start. Achievements: How many: 31 Achievements. How much time: Around 7 hours, divided in 7 days. Got almost all the letter recipes on my own without the game. Less if you cheat and just copy them from the guide. Game difficulty: Easy, but requires some trial and error. Achievements’ Difficulty: Easy. Completing the game will grant you most of the achievements but you’ll have to grind a few by building extra words to get stickers and also completing word of the day challenges 7 times. The harder one is getting all the secret characters: this includes number and the symbols you see on your keyboard, but you can build your own word and try all the symbols to see which ones the game recognizes and then try to build them. Overall opinion: Word Factori is a fun casual puzzle game with an original look and very simple to use mechanics, where building the letters requires a bit of imagination and also some trial and error. Recommended for fans of the genre, if you can get it with a discount.

Cute lil game but the concept can get a little stale once you play for a little bit, I feel like I only needed to put thought on the occasional Red difficulty words, making them my favourite part of the game In my opinion, the game needs more levels like them, maybe restricting your Recipies so you have a reason to experiment other than for the curiosity If you are looking for a casual puzzle game, where you can turn your mind off for a few hours then this is for you, while this isn't what I was looking for, this was in no way a bad experience

Sept. 2024

If you're looking at this, wanting a word game, stay away. If, on the other hand, you're looking for a playful puzzler in which you're allowed to build letters, perchance to form words from them, :104:

June 2024

Overall the game is neat. The problem is without copy and paste you are spending a LOT of time re implmenting factory paths for letters you've used many many times. The ability to pick a previous word or letter and have the solution show up would speed up input. As it is now I really can only do a puzzle or two till I get bored as I have to once again build an 'O' generator to make another letter.
