SELOR - A submission of GMTK Game Jam 2023: Roles Rəvərsəd

GOAL - Complete the crossword!
Important: Words starts from the numbered grid, goes right or down, and the word should read reversed ("SELOR", etc.). Refer to the image below!

Also, words are valid (green) as long as they form the correct (reversed) word!
They don't need to have a fixed position and still editable.

Controls

Left Mouse Button: Drag & drop
Right Mouse Button: Pan camera

Note: As a crossword, the grids with numbers in them indicate the start of the corresponding word. Every (reversed) word should read left to right, or up to down.

Please refer to the cover image or screenshot if it is still confusing.
(Thank you for the suggestion, Walrusware!)

Minor comments

This is an experimental game. I tried to make some key-item mechanisms and give this weird "wordcrosser" a plot, but I have no idea about how weird it goes lol. 

Hope you enjoy it!

(Didn't plan to join this year's jam but eventually, this was made ... xD)

Its fun game, but im 1 letter box short of completing this game, I dont think i can find it anywhere. Still great submision!

There’s another “REDDAL” (ladder) somewhere, so you can save one box.

Thank you for playing!

I'm stuck at the ladder clue... any hints?

Oh wait, never mind, I found it! XD

it wouldn't let me progress forward from the 1st stage, although I did spell selor

Maybe you can check the description! Basically, you need to let the letter “S” be in the grid with a number on it.

tbh I forgot how crosswords work, so thanks

although there still appears to be a SELOR at a certain place that doesn't work although according to the answers it should

Words cannot share a number. Otherwise, it should work fine I think? xD

if the number is at the bottom and the word goes from bottom to top, should the word be detected?

No, it doesn’t. “Every (reversed) word should read left to right or up to down.”

Hope this helps!

I love the game, but I'm completely stuck! (SPOILERS)

I can't connect the SSECNIRP/ESOR/SREVOL branch to anything else while still leaving all words complete! There's only one letter of wiggle room, but I need two letters to connect it to any existing path! What am I missing?

You are missing the REDDAL that you have built up before. You can freely move the grids as long as it forms the correct word! Thank you for playing xD

I am super confused, because for me GAMER was in the five spaces above the dot...

Sorry for the confusion. I have updated the map, so it is a bit different ;-;;
