There is absolutely no rhyme or reason to the dictionary for this game, and it truly only gets more and more bizarre the longer you play. Many common English words are not included, but several Spanish, French and Latin words are. Some proper nouns are included, while others are not. Abbreviations? Sure, some of them. Names? Sometimes!

Just a few of what have to be hundreds of examples include:
  • PRIMA - Valid
  • PRIMO - Invalid
  • ALI, MARINO, NORMA, TIM - Sure thing
  • MOIRA, MARIA - Nope!
  • CAIRO and DELHI - Yup
  • LIMA - Not a chance
  • MAORI, TAMIL - Yessir
  • ROMAN - No sirree
  • P*RN and FART - Of course not, we need to protect minors from these inappropriate adult words
  • PRON and SL*T - Yes, valid, who said anything about minors?
  • FAIT, LAIT - Valid, of course, we need some French representation
  • OMNIA - Valid, we can't have French rep without Latin rep
  • RNASE - You betcha
  • FIAT, ORCA, ARID, MAR, IMP - Absolutely not

You can see a thread in the forums that looks promising, where the developer has asked how they can improve the dictionary, but they have clearly not taken a single suggestion into consideration.

Be for real, just play Wordscapes instead for free.

Nothing super impressive, but it's an alright game for what it is. Not worth $10, but if you can get it on sale or in a bundle it might be worth checking out.

In non-sidescrolling levels, the camera will intermittently snap 180 degrees seemingly at random, which can and likely will cause a few deaths, especially if you're unlucky enough to have it happen on the ice floes.

Overall the story and characters are cute, but the voice acting is... not the best.

Genuinely unsure why this game has such high reviews. Dialogue appears to have been written by someone who barely speaks English, let alone Spanish. It seems like the ultimate goal was to get in as many slurs as possible?

Beyond that, the gameplay is repetitive and gets old and tedious after the first act. There's not much skill involved beyond memorizing patrol patterns over and over and over because the AI with inhuman aim will one-shot you with a shotgun from 30 yards. If you're just here for the achivements, make sure you read a guide before you start the game so you don't have to go back for a second playthrough to get them all.

Unplayable in ultrawide fullscreen, because you can neither see whether you have your gun or knife equipped, nor can you see how much ammo you have.
