Criss Cross Catacombs
Spell your way through the perilous catacombs! Collect treasure to score points!
Part of LDJam 58.
Rules
Place letter tiles on the board to form words. Spell words across the board and spell a word through the exit tile to beat each level of the dungeon.
Each word placed (left to right or top to bottom) scores points based on the number on the tile.
Drag and drop tiles from your rack to the board. When you have spelled a word, press submit to verify and calculate your score. You must place a single line of tiles at a time, and at least one must be adjacent to an already placed piece. All the new words formed by placing tiles count towards your score. Blank tiles count as any letter, but are worth 0 points.
There are a number of items you can collect by spelling a word on the tile the item is on. Hover over an item to see what it does.
Controls
Requires a mouse. Drag and drop tiles on the board to place them.
Shift + mouse wheel = scroll horizontally
Ctrl + mouse wheel = zoom (Very Buggy!)
Pickups
Coin: +3 Points
Ring: Double letter score
Treasure Chest: Triple letter score
Sword: Double word score
Crown: Triple word score
Potion: Gain a blank wildcard tile
Apple: Add 10 more random tiles to the bag
Updates
10/6 - Fixed touch controls and zooming (mostly...). Seems to work mostly okay on safari mobile, but the camera when you first open a level is busted in a way I can't debug :( You can scroll right, but it seems like it's a little cut-off on the right
