The rules of the game are simple:
1. Form words from available letters.
2. Attack monsters with a magic spell formed by the letters.
3. Be quick, as the monsters are anything but friendly.
4. Advance through the dungeons.
The full version of the game will feature:
-
2 game modes: Story (which will tell us the tale of a young wizard,
trapped in a magic tower) and Arena: where players get to fight monsters
in an arcade style, endless game mode
- a simple RPG system, including statistics, levels of experience, items and loot
-
varied types of dungeons, swarmed with different kinds of enemies,
including every-day dungeon fellas (rats, bats and beholders) and
bosses, unique for every type of dungeon.
We're also thinking
about implementing a Multiplayer mode, depending on the community
support for the game. Please tell us, if you'd like one.

Background info:
We
have been working on this game for some time. Early prototypes has been
created in November, but due to poor tests results, we decided to
abandon the project.
The project has been revived in January,
when the Ouya CREATE game-jam has been announced. We have rewritten the
game from scratch, redesigned all the mechanics and remade the assets so
they would fit personal computers (PC, Mac, Linux), OUYA console, and
touchscreen systems.
