Wordsmiths, rejoice! A new roguelike word game, Letterlike, is here, blending the best of Balatro and Scrabble. Prepare for a unique challenge where vocabulary meets unpredictable roguelike gameplay – a truly novel combination!
Crafting Words in Letterlike
Letterlike's roguelike nature ensures each playthrough offers a fresh set of letters and procedurally generated challenges. The possibilities are endless, leading to countless victories (or hilarious defeats!).
Each game begins with a letter set. Your mission: create words, score points, and conquer levels. Each level consists of three rounds, each requiring a specific point total to advance. You only have five attempts per round, so choose your words wisely!
Stuck with unhelpful letters? Don't despair! You can discard some, but discards are limited, so strategic choices are key. A handy rearrange mode allows you to drag, drop, and shuffle letters to maximize your potential.
The final round of each level introduces a twist: a special ability renders some letters worthless, scoring zero points.
Earned points and rewards unlock helpful items and buffs to enhance future runs. Some buffs are automatic, while others require reaching specific levels. Collected gems unlock powerful upgrades for easier gameplay.
Ready to Play?
Letterlike offers simple, minimalist fun with the added social element of replaying specific runs with friends using shared seeds. Share those frustrating letter combinations and let your friends experience the same agony (or triumph)!
The game is ad-free with a one-time purchase and playable offline. A free demo version is available for those who want to test the waters before committing. Find Letterlike on the Google Play Store and give the demo a try!
