spellephant [browser]
A puzzle game about elephants, hats, apes, words, and tape: Spellephant, created by Carbuncle for the Thinky Puzzle Game Jam. (Z key to undo a move, R key to restart a level)
Super fun. Stuck on the PLANE HEAT level though. I'm pretty sure an "A" needs to go to the upper left, but getting it there always leaves an "E" in an awkward place.
@Bill for Plane Heat you need to push the left "a" up as well as another letter so that you can just after push the "a" left aside and get rid of it. Then, you can sort out the puzzle remembering that it's possible to push more than one letter at once....
Can't figure out Plane Heat. The only way I can figure to move the left a up is to also move up the e just to the right. But once that's done I can't figure out how to get either the l or p to the right, so I end up either spelling eelphant or elehpant.
It was superfun! And cute too! Very creative, I wish there would be more levels or more possible words or just more games similar to this, with different words. I could play more.
Very cute and nice - and at least two levels are not so simple !
ReplyDeletestuck for hours on level 18: there seems to be no way to form the word ELEPHANT
ReplyDeleteHint for 18: There is an extra letter.
ReplyDeleteYesss figured it out! A+ :-)
ReplyDeletegame crashed my computer
ReplyDeleteElephant keeps moving two steps on one keypress.
ReplyDeleteWhy so much LAG is leak memory?
ReplyDeleteDon't know what level it is, but how do you get past the field of t's so you don't spell tape!!
ReplyDelete@Anonymous this is level 13
ReplyDeleteStart by pushing all the upper t's to the right.

ReplyDeleteSpent a long time on #14, until I had the important relization.
ReplyDeleteFor PLANE HEAT, make judicious use of the lower row as well as the upper, seemed to me to be th e key.
Looking forward to more games from this Thinky game jam!
ReplyDeletelevel 6... the hats... just how... how???!!

ReplyDeleteLvl 6 : you must pass through the upper space.
The only way is to make the letters and ! disappear....

ReplyDeletestuck on pathe (#14) I feel I'm getting somewhere but still can't reach the ape....
ReplyDelete@ 8 July 2021 at 15:59 You need a bunch of tape and a hat

ReplyDeleteMove the e to the right so you can push down the h.
