WHAT IS IT?

Obscurdle mashes classic word deduction with a light roguelike loop:

battle a parade of pixel foes, each round a fresh five-letter puzzle.  Guess

cleverly, land critical hits, and raid their treasure before the narrator

throws the next curveball.

FEATURES

- 🧩 **Word-Combat Twist** – every guess deals damage or heals you, depending on how well you pin the word.

- 🎲 **Run-Based Loot** – potions, scrolls, “undo” charms, letter-reveal bombs; mix & match to cheat death.

- 🎤 **Snarky Narrator** – lovingly roasts your spelling while hinting at lore (and weaknesses).

- ☁️ **Browser-Native** – no download; runs instantly in modern Chrome / Firefox.

HOW TO PLAY

1. Each game is just three rounds of guessing a word

2. Type a five-letter guess (A–Z).  

3. Each correct letter gives you progress towards completing.; each whiff hurts *you*.  

4. Use items to help finish puzzles or undo mistakes.

5. After each puzzle pick a new item.

6. Lose all health = run over.  How deep can you go?

EARLY ACCESS / SOFT LAUNCH

This is a **beta build**.  Expect balance tweaks, missing SFX, and the odd

 glitch.  Any feedback is appreciated.

ROADMAP

- Making you feel smart: add how you do against other real people (or more robot stats)

- Do you want monsters? early version had them, ended up simplifying them out

- Endless “hardcore” mode?  

- Share your results

Share Your Feedback

- at the end of each word leave a quick rating. I'm curious which ones are the most fun

- at the end of the game or each round you can also leave freeform feedback. please do! I'd love to hear what you think.
