Wordsmiths, rejoice! A new roguelike word game, Letterlike, is here, blending the best of Balatro and Scrabble. Prepare for a unique fusion of vocabulary mastery and unpredictable roguelike gameplay – a combination rarely seen before!
Crafting Words in Letterlike
Letterlike's roguelike nature ensures every playthrough offers a fresh challenge with procedurally generated letter sets and obstacles. The possibilities are endless, leading to countless victories.
Each game begins with a set of letters. Your objective: create meaningful words, accumulate points, and conquer levels. Each level comprises three rounds.
To progress, you must achieve a sufficient point total by forming high-scoring words, similar to Scrabble. However, each round grants only five attempts (lives). Use them strategically!
Facing an unpromising letter combination? Don't despair. You can discard letters, but discards are limited, demanding careful consideration.
A handy rearrange mode allows you to drag, drop, and shuffle letters to optimize your word creation.
Letterlike's final round introduces a twist: a special ability renders some letters worthless, yielding zero points.
Earned points and rewards unlock various power-ups to enhance your gameplay. Some buffs are automatically applied, while others require reaching specific levels. Collected gems also facilitate powerful upgrades, simplifying future runs.
Ready to Give It a Try?
Letterlike boasts a simple, minimalist design yet delivers engaging gameplay. The game allows replaying specific runs with friends using shared seeds. Share those frustrating letter combinations and let your friends experience the agony (or triumph)!
Letterlike is ad-free with a one-time purchase. Offline play is supported. A free demo version is available, allowing you to test the waters before committing. Find Letterlike on the Google Play Store and give the demo a whirl.
