CodeWordPlay: Word puzzle game for Playdate
About
Do you like word games with hours of gameplay spread across bite-sized puzzles?
CodeWordPlay is a four-letter word game exclusively for Playdate, a beautiful little handheld console with a crank created by the fine people at Panic. Except CodeWordPlay is a little more than that. Is it a little like Wordle? Yes. Is it also nothing like Wordle? Also yes. It doesn't have any of the dirty four letter words you're thinking of, but it might have best, word, game, play, date and other great four-letter words in it.
CodeWordPlay has a couple of unlockable items and plenty of surprises. By the end you’ll agree this game is *very* unique, and not like other word games. CodeWordPlay is a great complement to the Playdate's Season 1 games.
CodeWordPlay features:- more than 400 levels
- 10 unlockable pieces of gear
- yes, this is a word game with an equipment system
- 10 pieces of loot (aka achievements)
- yes, this is a word game with achievements
- pick-up-and-play gameplay
- I prefer set-down-and-get-down gameplay but that hasn't caught on
- existential dread
- a few fun surprises
