The game is a combination of Tetris and Scrabble, with players arranging falling letter blocks to form words and earn points.
Textris is a software that combines aspects of two classic games to offer a fast-paced test of your lexicon. This software offers you the opportunity to expand your vernacular and spelling abilities by arranging falling letters to form words. You can choose to outlast your opponent or compete against your own high score.
The software offers a variety of options to keep the gameplay new and interesting. Playing Textris is simple. The basic idea of the game is to arrange letters as they fall to form words, which can be spelled horizontally from left to right or vertically from top to bottom. There is a minimum length that a word must satisfy to be accepted, which is, by default, four letters. However, you can change this setting from the options.
When you form a word, the letters will be removed from the playing area, and you will be awarded points based on the quality of the word. Any words you form will briefly be displayed at the bottom of the screen in the scoring area. If there were letters above the word you just formed, they will fall into place, possibly forming new words in the process.
As time passes, the speed at which the letters fall will gradually increase, which means that you must be prepared to think quickly. If you fail to make a word with a letter, it will come to rest at the bottom of the playing area, and you will eventually start to accumulate lots of stray letters. If you stack a letter above the line at the top of the playing area, the game will come to an end. However, you do have one tool other than your intellect at your disposal. At the beginning of each game, you are given one bomb, which can be used at any time to transform the current letter into a helpful exploding device.
Key features of Textris include OpenGL accelerated graphics, single player and two-player modes, multiple variations on gameplay (word length), modest system requirements, and educational aspects that may help improve your language skills. Overall, Textris is a fun and addictive game that can help you enhance your vocabulary and spelling.
