Little Update, Little New Game Mode


Hey all,

I made a small little update to 20W//20S. I added a few words that people pointed out should've been on the word list and added a less frantic game mode.

The game mode is called 20 WORDS // ?? SECONDS, and, as the name implies, it allows you to spend as long as you want to get to twenty words. It'll then score you on each of the words. It's not as much my thing—I prefer the hectic nature of the game—but I figure that it might appeal to people more wordly than me who want to maximize the length of words instead of minimize time. You can toggle back and forth between this game mode by pressing 'c' on the main menu (the one that shows the title and high score).

As a guy who pretty much just makes games because I enjoy making them and then tosses them up on itch, it's been pretty surreal seeing so many people play my game. Thanks everyone for playing, and double thanks to those who shared it with a friend or inflicted it upon an enemy.

I've seen some people report the game not working for them on desktop, but unfortunately I'm not able to reproduce the issue, as I can run it in Chrome and Firefox without issue (although private mode in Firefox runs a lot worse, maybe due to anti-fingerprinting mechanisms slowing down the game callbacks?). All that to say, if you run into issues and know how to access the developer console, let me know if it's printing any errors in there—that's probably the best way for me to track down a compatibility issue without being able to reproduce it myself.

Thanks again for playing!
