Lessons Learned

Just a quick postmortem post to say how glad I was to participate and to thank those that tried and continue to try this creation.

In hind sight, I found that I changed the name before voting in order to help target those that would enjoy playing. Rather than my original name of just Loop - I changed it to 'Words in the Loop' so it was obvious that it was a word game.  This also helped for searching among other word games submitted.

I didn't use any graphic assets or sounds : Next time, rather than just html/css/canvas, I'll incorporate some tile images (or whatever type of image asset will be appropriate for whatever I create next).  Also, I elected to not have sound because I often find that word games are played 'covertly' to pass time.  Instead, I'll implement sound but be sure to have settings to ensure silent mode is a feature.

Thanks again for the Jam, the ratings and comments as well as the lessons learned.  By the way, overall with 25 ratings I achieved top 3% in creativity and enjoyment which was better than I expected.  Of course ratings and ranking are not what is important here and hopefully there is at least one word freak out there (or more) that genuinely found enjoyment in my Words In the Loop creation.
