🏃♂️ Chill or hectic play, you decide!
- Classic craft: Roguelike mode where you must score enough to continue to the next chapters. You win if you beat all 12 levels (9 in the demo with only 1 boss). No time pressure.
- Letter rush: Letters are dropped continuously in the cauldron and you must spell words fast enough to avoid overflow. You compete for the high score. Ends we the cauldron is full.
- Pool: The cauldron is filled with letters. You spell as many words as possible with no new letters dropping down. No time pressure.
After Dashpong, Hyperslice and many action oriented jam games, I wanted to work on something more chill. I've been thinking about creating a word game for a while, and I'm super happy to explore a new direction with Lexispell. The goal is to make a small and cozy word game that can also be challenging for avid gamers.
I'm making this alone, with help from Trevron for the music, so don't hesitate to share and wishlist Lexispell!
I hope you'll enjoy :) - Eliptik

this was a very fun game :) maxing out on scrolls helped a lot! idk why i bought the pretti rune lol i thought the concept was funny ++ it might be a super secret mouska-tool to help us later (insert mickey) lol thank you to the creator
Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed! This useless rune can be used in the full game because you go through the Well multiple time during the run where you can trade the letters from your backpack, runes or items you have
ohhh i didn't know the items could be traded back! i saw the shopkeeper's tip that items should be chosen wisely as he wouldn't buy them back :0 cool ill find out where to sell back and maybe try it out! thank you once again! (didnt think you'd reply haha)
The game lagged out my whole computer just on the browser version alone even when nothing was big was happening in the game and would render my whole computer extremely slow even my mouse. I never had a browser game do that to my computer before even 3D ones. The game was very fun despite all that. I'll look into the downloadable versions instead.
the amount that i play this on breaks at work is frankly embarrassing and i thank you for it
Glad you enjoy the game :)
This game is like Balatro mixed with Yokai Watch Wibble Wobble (RIP) discontinued mixed with words and I fw it a lot
oh what that game is on steam. nice. excited what will be added in future
Really clever game! Love the use of the gems and the roguelike progression to keep it interesting and engaging <3
Interesting concept, mixing merge gameplay and spelling gameplay!
Took me a bit to get the hang of it, but I like it a lot! It was a lot of fun trying to figure out words to spell that would most help me with the grab bag placement!Can't wait to try the full thing, very well made!
Thank you so much for playing! Glad you enjoyed it :)
It's very peak but it downloads as a zip and I can't really have it as an app:( maybe i just suck at file management but it's really confusing to me haha
What OS are you trying to play with? If windows or linux just extract the zip (right click extract) and launch the executable in the extracted folder. Alternatively if you use the Itch io app it doesn’t that for you.
honestly really fun. It's like a mix of melon merge (or whatever it is called) and spelling!
Очень хорошая игра! Жаль русского языка нет((( На английском я до 8 уровня только дошел...
It’s quite difficult to handle many languages especially if they don’t have latin characters, sorry about that! Glad to know you enjoyed it
i really love this game and i played it a bunch but there's a huge bug that prevents me from playing the classic mode specifically: if i exit a classic run (bug works for both francais and english) and i boot the game up again, if i try to press resume game it just freezes and i have to reboot the game, and it's the same freeze if i try to start a new classic run. letter rush is unaffected. version: 0.0.26 on windows 10
yesterday i had to boot up the game like twice before it let me start a new game (because i had a saved one beforehand) but now i can't get it to work at all
dont know if this helps but i have a low end HP laptop from 2018 with 4gb ram
I had difficulty using the laptop's touchpad while playing.
OP why the HELL does it accept ch*nk
chunk?
Assuming your asterisk is an i that's a real word that has everwl meanings. One of the most common examples would be the classic phrase, "A chink in their armor." Referring to a vulnerability.
using the wand of disconsonance (replacing a consonant with a random vowel) i chose a consonant (g or c) and it changed it to a P, definitely not a vowel lol. i really like the game though, very fun
Good catch! I fixed it and it’ll be live in the coming week hopefully. Thanks for playing!

Great concept and gameplay, a very solid deckbulider! This does seem to have some sort of a memory leak problem though. The web version of the game sorta crashes after 3-4 minutes of gameplay. This could be an issues solely on my computer but I thought it would be helpful to let you guys know.
Thanks for letting me know, I’ll investigate to see if I can understand what’s hapenning!

Funny! I wasted several hours and don't regret anything. Tried my best to gather supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Unfortunately I couldn't :)
That’s awesome thaks for playing!

Hi
Cool game! :D
i love it :D
I think this is really fun, I like it!
I do want to mention just to see, in the later levels I completed them in about 2 words. in the final 'normalist' level I completed it in 1 word
Tried it on Steam!
Quite a fun experience in my opinion, but there few minor issues.
First, the color scheme is soft and visually appealing, but it makes a lot of the UI blend together, which makes hard to tell what's important/relevant. Consider adding something to help separate the foreground from the background.
If you have 10 Scrolls, you cannot sell the bottom one because the button is so low that it's off the screen.
Also, if you have at least 3 runes, it starts removing them from the shop.
All in all, a joy to play! Looking forward to seeing where you go with it.
Thank you for your feedback! I’m already working on some of it so it should be better soon :)
Like some other people said, it seems to have issues running on Firefox. Even after I left and continued a run, it still had severe lag on specifically the first level after I entered a shop on each attempt.
Going to try it on Steam
so cool, i feel like it'd do great on mobile or apple arcade
C'est un vif plaisir et la complexité potentielle ajoute du piment. Je joue pour le moment en vitesse restreinte et me prépare à faire chauffer les neurones. Les français aiment les mots et vont aimer.
I had severe stutter on web here, to a standstill, during the second chapter of the tutorial
Can you tell me your specs? Try the desktop version if you can
Mozilla 148.0.2
2080ti
i9-9900K
I liked what I saw, so I wishlisted the game. If you plan on playtesting a build, I'll gladly join your discord and give it a go again
Weird you have a beefy computer. I’m wondering if it’s not because of firefox or harwarde acceleration not working correctly.
Looks great and funnn
very strong core machanism! I love the UI design
Idea simple pero muy bien ejecutada y muy bien vestida con un buen tutorial y apartado gráfico. Interesante!
Appearantly, you don’t want Feedback from Phone Players
The feedback form was made for Steam and when I published it on itch I didn’t think people would play on their phone because I didn’t put an android build.
I’ll update the form to include Itch
There’s a Web Version and itch didn’t warn that “This game is not designed to run on your device.”, so of Course i would try it on my Phone.
The style kind of reminds me of the game "Is this seat taken?"
yeah it does :/
Yeah their game looks really great the palette is inspired from them!
It looks really neat (which is why I've downloaded it now, hoping to play it) but it basically doesn't work in my browser (Firefox). There's about a half a second of lag between input and response, which isn't the end of the world. Animations play in stop motion, which is also not the end of the world but I don't think it's supposed to happen. Two minutes into this experience, the entire browser crashes (this has happened twice now), which is . . . not ideal.
Wow weird, have you had a better experience with the downloaded version?
What’s your config out of curiosity. Also I think generally chrome is better for games (or chromium based if you want to avoid google).
Works for me on fox with no issue. May be browser settings like reduced motion and graphics acceleration :c
Awesome game! It grabs your attention from the start and keeps you hooked. The graphics are super stylish (speaking as an artist 😉), and the music is perfectly chosen — really meditative and immersive. Overall, just excellent! 🎮✨
I like the idea behind this game, and I also like the background choice for the page!
Show post...
will it have local highscores lists I hope?
Yeah I could do that for the itch version. Ideally I’d have a shared leaderboard for all platforms but not for now. Thanks for the suggestion!
Show post...
yw and thank you <3
This game is really fun and cute. My name is lexi and I smile every time I open the game! Would love if the layout was a little better for mobile browser as the text and floating windows are all a bit small when playing vertical. Thank you for this really cool game!
That’s awesome, glad you like it! I’ll think about a proper mobile version after the PC release :)
Fantastic game.
Arachnoid, arachnophile, and a bunch of other medical and scientific terminology aren't in the dictionary. though.
Don’t hesitate to submit them in game (pause menu > missing word). I’ll add them to the list
