Obscurdle
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.
