literally is a word game in which your main opponent is time. This is a race in which you have to collect words from letters so that the game does not end. you've probably missed the standard feature lists, so I've prepared another one for you: • a story consisting of 200 levels and 77 tasks. you can't think of a better brain workout (of course, if you don't feel like reading books; books are the best) • 66 aphorisms are frantically waiting for you to decipher them • simplified mode for those who do not like to rush • minimalistic design and incredible Ukrainian-made fonts • statistics that analyze to the smallest detail what you wasted your time on • surprisingly catchy animation in the main menu • power saving mode, which will help kill the battery more slowly (for example, by turning off the surprisingly catchy animation in the main menu)
