Antigrams is a word game where the goal is to NOT make words. “Surprisingly fun.” -Bennett Foddy, creator of QWOP Move letters from the top of the stacks to fill the slots below. Be careful - any combination of 4 or more letters that can be arranged to form a word will bust you and add more letters to the grid. When the grid goes off the top of the screen you lose. Features: - Unique, brain-twisting gameplay - Endless, randomized levels - Global and friend-based leaderboards - Single-player ranking system to track your progress - Dozens of special slots and tiles - Original soundtrack from club legends Everybody House Mafia
