It's a game. About walking. And words.
A Game by me, greeneagles!
Well, my real name is Alex. I'm 24 and have worked in software for a few years. My lifelong dream has been to be a game developer.
I built Wordwalker in 5 months as an entirely solo passion project. I play a few too many word games myself, so I decided to add one to the pile. I hope you like it!
If you're a fellow game dev or someone interested in how I put this all together, check out my github repository:
HELP
Look for this tutorial button in the main menu!
Here, the answer to the clue "Big and Impressive" is the word GRAND, which can be spelled with the path shown. Just step on those tiles and you're home free.
How To Play
There should be a "Help" button on the main menu which goes over all this. But to briefly summarize:
-
You are trying to get from one side of the temple to the other. The path you can take is given by a clue, which is either text or a picture.
-
In the top left you should see your "totems". These represent your extra lives. If you go below 0, game over!
-
You can also use totems on items (the backpack button in the top left).
-
-
From the menu screen, you can enable challenges to make the game harder.
-
If you beat a game with all 5 challenges, you'll earn a gold star on that word list, the highest possible rank!
-
Gold stars also unlock new characters!
