A downloadable word game

The word game where your words matter!

Wordpetition is a new multiplayer word game with a completely unique mechanic where you alter a permanent, changing letter box to score words that can turn into joker- *Word Cards!

The box stays the same after every word spelled, which makes the previous word you spelled affect the next. It’s like word ladder on steroids!

YOUR WORDS TURN INTO CARDS:

The specific words you spell matter and carry meaning beyond their points!
Every special word has a unique Word Card (joker) you get when you spell that word, the cards completely change the game!

For example, if you spell three, it’ll give you the THREE card which gives +45 points for every three letter word scored.



Every word card has a unique effect that depends on the word you spelled.

Here are all of the ones shown in the image!

RAMEN (spell ramen): 2x fire, loses x0.01 fire per card drawn.

COOKBOOK (spell cookbook): Spawns a random food Word Card for every 5 valid words spelled consecutively.

ARSONIST (spell arsonist): Burns all tiles behind a space/blank when the space/blank is “scored.” Gains +1 fire for every card destroyed.

HINT: (spell hint): +75 points when a special word is spelled. Shows the closest special word in the text below the hint.

THE WORD BOX:

To make words, change the word box by dragging letters around! The main mechanic is that the box stays the same after every word spelled, which adds so much depth to the game.

MULTIPLAYER:

It also has full multiplayer that allows any number of players to play the game, making it the first game in the sub-genre to do so.

It's been in development for about 6 months.

Demo coming soon! (will be available on the web)
