Swap 2 Spell

This game was the final project of my Game Design 2 class, and was designed and developed in under a week. The big thing I learned from this project was how important it was to listen to feedback from play-testers. It is easy to get caught in the flow of creating a game and not stop to taken in account what a first time player will see and experience when trying to play your game. It was created in Javascript using the Perlenspiel library.

Swap 2 Spell was a mix of a match 3 game and a spelling game. The player would swap tiles to bring two identical letter tiles next to one another.

When a pair of letter tiles was matched, the letters would be added to the word bank on the right side of the game board.

Players could then use those letters to build words, which would score them points based on length. Longer words scoring significantly more points than smaller words.

Gold letters represented the harder to use letters (X, Q, and Z). Using those in a words would net the player a multiplier bonus on top of the word length score.

There were two different game modes, which changed how the game played. Score attack focused on spelling longer words while Time Attack focused on spelling words quickly.
