About the Game

Become a Word-Warlock and vanquish your enemies by conjuring the arcane through spelling. Test your keyboard sorcery against foe and obstacle alike. 

Wordlock is a typing game which tasks the player with spelling out words to cast spells. Throughout levels you'll face a variety of enemies and enter encounters which puts a new challenge on how you navigate typing on your keyboard.

Wordlock plays like a mix of topdown action roguelikes and typing test games where players must switch between dodging enemy attacks with WASD and executing specific spells/effects by typing out specific words on the screen. 

Features:

  • Progress through a series of linear levels with a variety of gameplay styles

  • Scoring based off of typing speed and precision

  • Customizable difficulty to allow players of all typing skills to enjoy

  • Full original soundtrack to fuel the frenetic keyboard mayhem

  • Variety of spells each with their own word prompts and effects
