WORDS by MIDNIGHT [GWJ86]
UPDATED VERSION: [Cosmic Horrors IV submission]
Done in 5 days for the Godot Wild Jam 86 .
⚠️WORK IN PROGRESS ⚠️
Game is not complete, but you get to play the first few levels. If you pass Prestige 10, you are already beyond the current scope.
⚠️DISCLAIMER⚠️
This is a complete rip-off of Nodebuster. Go support them, it is a really good game!
I wanted to learn how to make an incremental game, so I decided to use them as case study.

Playing on a track-pad laptop, and am unable to properly -scroll- the skill menu with right-click, so unable to select any of the skills that aren't on the initially visible section of the board. Or even see what they are.
Aside from that, -love- this. Much more enthralling than Nodebuster for me.
Thank you for letting me know.
I am working on a new version for Thursday, I will add a left-click drag.
bug report: currently only familiars kills drop blood and i don't know if it's intended but the writing only in complete darkness, secrets can be unveiled sticks around every game after you meet the boss
Cool game, but it seems bugged. I'm on chapter 37, number of chapters seems endless, I have all avaliable stuff leveled up except for "See all" because exp seems to reset on every chapter and I can't reach reach 100% anymore per chapter (boss levels end too quickly, words get too strong to kill) so I'm stuck at 10 insight. If "see all" is needed to progress then I'm simply soft locked. If there's some secret way to progress then I can't see it. I don't know what basement and portal are. I just don't know if it's worth playing anymore.
Oh hey, you went a lot further than I expected!
This is a jam game, very WIP.
I am trying to finish it for wednesday https://itch.io/jam/cosmichorrorsjam
this is kind of where i am i don't really want to play anymore because the exp keeps resetting and its becoming a little repetitive with no real pay-off
