About Eat Your Words

Eat Your Words is a fun game for people that love word games. It is a unique mashup of a traditional word puzzle game and a candy/gem collecting game.

I've worked in the video game industry for many years. Eat Your Words is my first independent game on Steam. I am making games that I like to play. If you love word games, I think you'll like this one. I would love to hear your feedback via email or in the discussion forums.

FEATURES

• Four game modes.
• 100 levels to challenge your wordliness.
• Quick game or relaxing game; your choice!
• New game boards every day.
• Huge word list.
• Integrated dictionary with multiple word definitions.
• Detailed statistics.
• Steam Leaderboards.
• Steam Achievements.

The goal of the game is to find as many words as you can on the game board. Each word must be at least 3 letters, and you can't use the same word twice. Every word generates sushi pieces. Match 3 sushi pieces to clear them off the board. There are four modes of play:

Play (Default Mode) has 100 levels for your to master.
Daily Game gives you unlimited time on a game board that changes every day.
Free Play always gives you the same board layout, but the letters change each time you play.
Blitz is a quick pace game with a 2 minute time limit. The game board changes every day.

Eat Your Words takes the familiar appeal of vocabulary puzzles and combines it with match-three mechanics to create a game that requires more planning than its playful presentation initially suggests. Rather than simply rewarding players for spotting the longest or most obscure words, it makes each successful word part of a larger board-management problem. Developed and published by Johnny Ow, the game is built around a straightforward concept that becomes increasingly strategic once players understand how its two puzzle systems interact. The primary task is to form valid words using the letters available on the board, with words requiring at least three letters. Once a word is accepted, however, the letters used do not simply disappear. They become sushi pieces that introduce a second puzzle layer. Matching three corresponding sushi pieces clears them from the board, so every successful word changes the playing field and potentially affects future opportunities. This creates a continuous cycle of finding words, generating sushi, arranging matches, and attempting to preserve enough useful space for the next move. This interaction is where the game establishes most of its personal…

Игра 'Eat Your Words' – это забавная и динамичная словесная головоломка, идеально подходящая для вечеринок и семейных посиделок. Суть проста: из заданного набора букв нужно составить как можно больше слов, "поглотив" при этом буквы соперников, чтобы набрать очки. Мне понравилось, что игра способствует развитию словарного запаса и скорости мышления. Партии проходят быстро и азартно, а возможность кражи букв добавляет элемент стратегии и напряжения. Интерфейс интуитивно понятен, а красочный дизайн создает приятную атмосферу. Единственный минус, который я заметил, – игра может показаться немного однообразной после нескольких часов игры подряд. Но в целом, это отличное развлечение, которое заставит вас пораскинуть мозгами и весело провести время в компании друзей! Рекомендую всем любителям лингвистических игр.
