A fairly decent game that basically serves as a Bookworm Adventures clone but with a lot of aspects missing that made the inspiration great. There's pretty much no story line, enemies are used multiple times instead of only once, and the theming isn't that strong per area. A big system change in this is the upgrade system, which in turn means effective playing doesn't always mean you can beat a level since you might just not have enough upgrades. There's also less letters here than in bookworm so the spelling aspect is less leaning towards impressive words.
For what it is the game is still mostly decent, but I think the attempt to pull off the form doesn't truly work that well.

This is basically "scrabble" mixed with light RPG mechanics that make the game very interesting and invite the player to actually use different strategies depending on the type of level and enemies. You can equip/level-up different types of weapons, book spells, potions, etc. that can aid you in different ways depending on the level's objectives and enemies.
This game is very fun and perfectly suited for quick pick-up-and-play sessions. The only big con I was able to find so far is that the game can become quite grindy as you progress and get to the advanced levels.
