The Fear of Long Words

It's Scrabble meets Strategy in: The Fear of Long Words

This game was made in 96 hours for the GMTK Game Jam

In this unique combination of word game and tower defense, you are tasked with protecting and powering up a magical 'spell' book (pun intended). 

The book will expand with power as both you and your enemies contribute, creating a scaling game board. Difficult to use letters grant special buffs to your spells and longer words exponentially increase their damage.

Each spell is procedurally generated based the word that conjured them. With a dictionary of over 150,000 valid English words, it's up to you to defeat the hoards of evil sprites that are attacking!
