Bookworm Adventures Demo

Language is a complex organism that has evolved over the course of many centuries, only to reach its current form. As cultures intertwined throughout history, so did their languages in one way or another, which means that many words we use today may not have existed a few centuries ago. On the other hand, some of them mean something else in modern times, even if they are spelled the same.

Bookworm Adventures is an educational puzzle game in which you have to use a couple of letters put at your disposal to come up with words. These words are then used to damage the enemies that try to stop your progress, although they need to be relatively long to incapacitate them. In essence, the game tries to blend fun with creativity and education, and it pretty much succeeds.

There are sixteen letters you can use to form words, and the ones you utilize are replaced with others to keep things exciting. Each level is basically a succession of enemies you have to defeat, plus a powerful boss at the end of the stage. You do more damage with longer and more complex words, so you are always rewarded for putting a bit of effort into your task.

Items can also be found along the way, all of which provide you with a bonus of sorts if you equip them in your inventory. As such, some artifacts give you additional damage points when using letters like x, y or z, which comes in handy if you want to finish a battle quickly. Many other items can be discovered over the course of the campaign, not to mention the fact that your character also receives experience points after each victory.

As far as the technical aspects are concerned, the game is basic but colorful, with flashy artwork and cute animations to brighten the mood. The enemies are always silly and amusing, although they can still put you in a lot of trouble if you are not careful. Not much can be said about the sound, but the effects are usually appropriate, as long as you can stand them over long periods of time.

Bookworm Adventures is the perfect solution for young children that want to expand their vocabulary, although even adults can have a blast with the game. Hence, it’s definitely a fun activity, especially if you enjoy toying with the English language.
