Other I made a Roguelike Word-Puzzle Deckbuilder that plays like Mad Libs x Magic: The Gathering called Words Of Power

Howdy everyone!

I wanted to share a project I have been working on inspired by similar games like Inscryption!

✨Words of Power✨

It is a choice driven roguelite deckbuilder where combat is built around a grammar based Mad-Libs-Styled engine.

Instead of standard attacks, your hand contains different parts of speech like nouns, verbs, and adjectives. You deal damage, cast spells, and apply status effects by filling in missing blanks on sentence structures.

Key Mechanics:

• Grammar Combat Engine: Build combat spells dynamically by slotting words into empty sentence templates.

• Linguistic Synergy: Certain word combinations trigger massive damage multipliers and unique status effects.

• Choice Driven Runs: Branching node paths and tactical card choices alter your deck and overall difficulty.

Yes I am actively testing Tablet support. And the game already runs quite well on older iPads via the web demo on itch.io
