GAMEPLAY Pilot your ship and collect falling letters to spell the target word at the top of the screen. Every correct letter brings you closer to completing the word and clearing the wave. But be careful. Enemy blocks fall with the letters and cost you lives if you hit them. As you complete words, the game speeds up and the screen fills with even more chaos. Every decision matters.
