About
Created by Rob Law
The goal was to make the most fun, exciting, and downright addictive word game of all time. In Verbal Beatdown, players go through 9 grueling rounds of battle against various Enemy Books. Each book is unique and has its own way of fighting back by breaking, locking, poisoning, burning, freezing, or even electrifying your letters!
Spend your hard-earned points at the Shop to upgrade your letters for bigger scores and longer combos. Additionally, carry up to 3 perks and 1 character to help you on your adventure.
If (and most likely, when) you lose, check your Loadout for anything you may have unlocked. Every run is different, so explore alternative strategies and discover new words to survive until the very end!

Very fun game. Yessir!
There are book genres, but they don't seem to matter. Probably need to unlock more perks. The words are fixed length, starting at 3 and increasing 1 character/round There are all kinds of debuffs making your letters detrimental or impossible to use. You can't use the same letter 2 rounds in a row, so the most common letters will consistently ♥♥♥♥ you. Between these restrictions, and the time limit, it's impossible for me. I have a great vocabulary and am pretty quick about it, but the restrictions are too much. Restrictions aside, the UI here shows a QWERTY keyboard with appropriate letters grayed out or with a status effect indicator on them. I found it very hard to visually see what words I could build. In something like Bookworm, it's a simple grid of large, bold letters, and you can skim over it and pick up on possible words. You could memorize a sequence of words to keep the chain going really long, but then there's not much point to the game. Still, I like the concept, and it's cheap, so try it for yourself and see.
This ♥♥♥♥ is fire ♥♥♥♥♥
