But Bookworm Adventures transformed it into something so damned weird that it could only be magic. There was a game before it, Bookworm, a more traditional puzzler, that honestly isn't very good. Yeah, bet you forgot that one! And while perhaps their peak crossover moment came with Plants Vs Zombies, moments before they were bought by EA, for me my favourite will always be that wormy word game. So much so that there was even a crossover special edition of Peggle in Valve's Orange Box. Probably most broadly famous for Bejeweled, they were putting out a mix of so many game types, from hidden object to arcade to pachinko, managing to blur the fiercely guarded line between "casual" and "hardcore". Even more so the breadth of their appeal, somehow ingeniously presenting themselves as both a "casual games" outlet releasing across all those super-mainstream sites like Big Fish, and a specialist company who were incredibly early to get their games onto Steam. It's hard to believe just what an extraordinary hit factory PopCap was back in 2007. If I had to keep one, I'd have trodden on Peggle to save my Bookworm Adventures. But there was one of us that preferred another PopCap game at the time, and that handsome chap was me. We all loved Peggle, because we weren't mad. A file size that became peculiarly important to the site for a number of years - for reasons implausible to explain it became the international unit for measuring demo sizes. As you battle your way through the world of books, you'll also gradually unlock new minigames that you can return to if you want to play the game for a few minutes.Back in the very early days of RPS, a little game called Peggle was released. Succeed in these and you'll earn bonus gems and potions to help you in your quest. Throughout the game, you'll also compete in minigames that challenge your memory, vocabulary and knowledge. For instance, the powerful Hand of Hercules does extra damage when Lex spells the name of a metal such as "TIN" or "BRONZE." Potions are one-shot items that heal Lex, power up his attacks or remove harmful conditions from him. Other special effects come from the items Lex earns during his quest these can add to Lex's health, reduce the damage he takes or cause special effects. You can earn these gem tiles by crafting particularly impressive words. Special tiles have abilities that inflict additional effects such as decreasing the damage of enemy attacks, healing Lex, or doing automatic damage every turn. More complications come from special tiles and items. Some even destroy tiles, infect them so that they harm Lex or "lock" them so that they can't be used.
Enemies don't bother with such niceties they simply attack, inflicting damage on Lex. Lex spells out words from the available tiles the longer the word, the more damage it does. The combat mechanic in Bookworm Adventures is based around the deadliest of fighting arts: spelling! Each fight begins with a grid of letter tiles. As Lex goes on his adventure, he will encounter and battle a range of opponents, including creatures from mythology and characters from classic novels. In this game, you take on the role of Lex, a humble bookworm who goes on a quest through the books in his library. Bookworm Adventures is an all-ages spelling-based adventure game.
