Modes

  • Normal: relaxed experience where enemies don't move until you play a word
  • Hardcore: enemies move automatically on a timer similar to Crypt of the Necrodancer


Abilities

  • The bottom left corner ability is a swapping ability that allows you to swap any two letter locations on the board.
  • The bottom right corner ability is double damage that will be applied to every shot from this letter.


Enemies

  • The chicken needs rescue, killing it makes you lose health. Capable of moving up to 3 tiles.
  • The baby slime is one of the simple enemies. It moves forward and deals one damage.
  • The crab needs two hits to die.
  • The goblins deal damage equal to their number.
  • The dragon moves diagonally.
  • The slime splits into two baby slimes upon death if possible.
  • The plant changes state from hungry to fed and vice versa. The hungry plant hits you while the fed plant gives you score. Capable of moving up to 2 tiles.
  • The eyeball phase shifts between normal and invulnerable states.
  • The fire elemental spits fireballs in all 4 directions upon death. Capable of moving up to 2 tiles.

Really fun game that taught me a bunch of new words! I only made it to 310 pts, yet it was so cool to see all the enemies! (I died cuz I forgot killing a chicken deals dmg 🤣)

KFC - Giant flame elemental and some Delicious chicken. (I like it)

Great game but I've encountered a bug twice now where scores above ~400 don't get counted for some reason. I've got a high score of 900-something and it displays on the game screen but not in the leaderboard.

This is a really good game. The sound effects, art (which I love) and the gameplay is just fun to me.

I have to admit though, some parts got me like: "Qwar da flop?!" and shit got confusing, but it's a great game nonetheless.

Great job to amidos, pugfugly, backterria and everyone else who helped make this game.

wordly defense but awesome
