What do you think?

This stage of Word Turtle Island: a full draft game, flexible how challenging or chill you wish to play. Battle and play with words: a different sort of word game. Rescue/help books and readers. Flexible what input device you choose (keyboard, mouse, game controller, screen). Super appreciate folks joining in by wishlist, free demo, even buying in early access. If you love the idea of throwing words as weapons, shelving books, optionally keyboard typing action, I made this for you.

Survive battling waves of creatures with word weapons and powers. Rescue books and readers in danger from creatures destroying the most powerful library in the galaxy. Recover by tending bookshelves in the book sanctuary home base. Word Turtle Island is a casual rogue-lite cozy game.

Survive Nature Dungeons: battle fantasy creatures who are taking the books and harming the readers. Rescue the Books of Power too! Once you rescue 27 Books of Power you unlock the the final bosses.

Cozy Book Sanctuary: heal between battles and help books and readers get where they need to go. Enter a battle gate and you get to choose your Battle Promise. Low difficulties are safer, you keep more when KO'd but earn less reward. High difficulty will earn more powerful loot but if you get KO'd you'll loose all your stuff.

Features: Play using any combination of game controller, touch screen/mouse, or keyboard for typing words

More than 10,000 words in the game's curated playful positive dictionary

Story: How did the most powerful library in the galaxy become a place of battle? One day, three troublesome creatures attacked the turtle's ultimate library. They caused the turtle-beings to mysteriously disappear, and captured the living books of power. Now the three bosses have sent their armies of creatures to finish their takeover of Word Turtle Island.

Portia, the book of portals, managed to escape. Now, she searches Word Turtle Island for someone to help her rescue the turtles, books and the readers caught in the catastrophe.

Wort, far away at the edge of Word Turtle Island, is about to leave to seek a different turtle path when Portia finds him. Wort learns he is the last of the Word Turtle beings.

It is now up to Wort and Portia (and you) to take back Word Turtle Island!

October WTI update is released! Includes immediate typing score feedback for those who battle using typing. Easier health drops for word combos. Also includes the usual ongoing refinements and bug fixes. 4th monthly update in a row!

Showing Word Turtle Island at events, two things I've been asked, often together: 1: "Is this a typing game?" and 2: "Is this an educational game?". 1: yes/but also more and 2: not explicitly so. You can type or play with controller, mouse, or touch too.
