Hey again! Here’s the first official devlog entry for our upcoming game!

First things first, here is a short pre-alpha gameplay video just to get an idea of how the game feels:

As you can see the game has an 8bit feel which might remind you of those old school shmups!

Let us know what do you think of it! Remember: this is an early alpha prototype but the core gameplay will be exactly like this: you will have to swipe your finger to the right if you believe that a word couple is an anagram and left otherwise! Leave a comment below or on Reddit thread with your thoughts!

Let’s see what’s the roadmap like now:

• The gameplay elements are in a pretty good state, we constantly make balance changes to the gameplay in order for the game to be challenging but not too hard for the player. It’s a pretty easy thing to say but not always easy to achieve!
• This week we will integrate all of the art and assets in the game and keep you up to date with the changes in code/gameplay & art!

Some dev friendly info

As you might have already guessed, we are using Cocos2D engine for our game. On top of that we also use some really handy external tools:

• Texture Packer for sprite sheets
• Glyph Designer for our custom bitmap fonts
• Testflight for beta testing deploying
• And Git, because you know, Git rocks.
