A towering word-game and mystery-story mash-up!
In this word game, players take on the role of Seb, an intern trapped in a collapsing high-rise. To escape, they must create words from adjacent letters on a grid, clearing a path down the building and rescuing their fellow survivors along the way.
The core gameplay revolves around strategically forming words. As players submit words, the letter tiles disappear, and the remaining tiles fall downwards, opening up new opportunities for larger, higher-scoring words. Over the course of 90+ levels, the game introduces a variety of challenges to keep the experience fresh.
While many levels have no time limit, allowing for careful word selection, others impose constraints like turn limits or the need to rescue trapped characters before their oxygen runs out. These variable objectives encourage players to adapt their tactics, balancing speed and efficiency with the creation of longer, more rewarding words.
As players progress, they encounter a cast of characters, each with unique abilities that can be activated to help overcome increasingly complex board layouts. Obstacles like unbreakable tiles, toxic batteries, and debris add an extra layer of strategic depth, requiring players to carefully consider how to clear a path.
Beyond the main story campaign, the game offers "banana challenges" - optional objectives that task players with accomplishing specific feats, such as creating a palindrome or using every numbered tile. These challenges, combined with leaderboards, encourage players to refine their strategies and maximize their scores on each level.
While the game starts out relatively accessible, the difficulty ramps up steadily, providing a satisfying challenge for both casual and avid word game enthusiasts. Reviewers have praised the game's ability to introduce new mechanics and obstacles at a measured pace, ensuring that the difficulty curve feels natural and engaging rather than overwhelming.
