Message in a Bottle

Trijam 345 them was "message in a bottle", so I designed a simple word game around discovering the message in a bottle.

Instruction 

Select a letter from the letters at the bottom to reveal letters in the message.

If a letter is in the message, the letter will turn green; otherwise, it will turn red if the letter is not contained in the message.

Currently, you can guess as many letters without penalty, and a successful reveal will gain 100 points.

Devlog

For this game jam, I had to rely heavily on generative AI to keep dev time within the 3-hour limit. The bottle image was generated using Adobe Firefly. The messages were generated using ChatGPT. A lot of code was generated using Copilot to create the formatting and positioning of the buttons and letters. I suspect that music is AI-generated (it is not marked as such).

The current browser-playable version is build v1.2, the improved version. The original version buildv1.0 is available to download.

To do..

There are a few things I would like to do, but I have already used just over 4 hours to develop this game.

• Start and end UI menu screens.
• Only allow a limited number of wrong answers.
• Better SFX for correct and incorrect letters
• High score

Feedback is welcome
