Spellgeon

Grab your letter wand and prove that you're ready to be a spelling champion.

Spellgeon features a mix of word game and spatial strategic combat. Use spells and items as you navigate the dungeon by spelling words from your letter wand to move or attack your foes.

The game feels strongly like a traditional roguelike while rewarding careful thought on what words you can, and should, spell. Managing your hunger- spelling shorter words drains your stamina- is a satisfying motivator. The abilities and items cover good ground and support the core resource management and the enemies may not have a variety of skills, but they feel different due to what words they are able to spell.

FAQ

• Why is this word in the dictionary?

Spellgeon is currently using a very permissive word list that includes some non-dictionary words, including some common abbreviations. I've pruned what I could but for now you will occasionally see some surprising words.
