Maybe It Was due to that time during the incunabulum of my existence, when a rapscallion upturned a Scrabble board and my neonate form was showered with word fragments like some perverted sort of plastic precipitation, but I've always had a fascination with lettered tiles tumbling down the screen just begging to be herded into lovely locutions. Bookworm Deluxe is a logophilic's dream from Pop Cap, available on Steam. Trace a line of adjacent letters along a grid to form as an extensive a word as possible, see the letters disappear from the play area, and watch new uncial monograms fall in to replace them.
Avoid small words, as this coaxes burning letters into the playing field. These guys burn through letters beneath them, threatening to destroy the library you reside in, should they reach the bottom of the grid.
Where Bookworm Deluxe gets interesting is the moment you realise the regularity with which you're finding the rudest words possible, without even trying.
I can't for the life of me make it through a game without spotting labia, or sighing as I realise I'm just one letter away from spelling testicle.
Why can't I spot clever words like deracinate to uproot , or recidivism a tendency to lapse into a previous condition or pattern of behaviour? Perhaps it's because - ooh, hold on, I just got cocks. Browse games Game Portals. Bookworm Adventures.

Game review Downloads Screenshots Players guide Lex the Bookworm voiced by Chief Creative Officer of PopCap, Jason Kapalka through a number of stages, battling creatures along the way which are largely based on Greek Mythology, tales from Arabian Nights and Gothic fiction, while the foes in the game's sequel are based on Fairy tales, Chinese mythology and Science fiction.
Each battle consists of Lex squaring off against a given foe. Both Lex and his adversary have health meters represented by a number of hearts , which, when depleted, signal defeat. However, unlike more traditional role-playing games where players might injure their opponents with arms or magic, enemies in Bookworm Adventures are damaged by forming words. As in the original Bookworm, words are formed from a grid of available letters, although unlike the original, the letters used to form the words need not be adjacent to one another.
The longer the word which is formed, the more damage is done to opponents. Similarly, words generated using letters which are less common do more damage than those using only common letters. Each turn, players can form a single word, while enemies use one of their available attacks to injure Lex, heal themselves, or otherwise make the battle more difficult. If victorious, Lex automatically recovers all of his health between battles; however, there are certain stages called Survival Battles still called boss battles in the first game where Lex will not be healed between enemies.
Bookworm Adventures Free Download. After a certain number of battles are won, a boss of increased difficulty is encountered. If players defeat the boss, they complete the stage and are rewarded with a treasure item. Treasures provide special abilities to Lex, such as a reduction in damage inflicted to him, or more damage generated from words containing certain letters. In some cases, rather than receiving a new item, an existing item is upgraded. After the player has accumulated more than three items, Lex must then choose which three items to bring along on later chapters.
In the sequel, the player can also be awarded a companion, which gives a beneficial effect every four turns. There are 3 game modes in the first game.
The different modes are Adventure, Mini-Games and Arena. Adventure mode is the main mode of the game. In the Adventure mode, the player solves the mystery of the Great Library, fighting the opponents in order. Unlike the sequel, after the player completes the Adventure mode, they cannot replay the Adventure mode and must create a new player to restart. In Mini-games, players can play three different mini-games and aim for high score.
This mode is unlocked after Book 2 in the Adventure mode is completed. In the Adventure mode, sometimes a purple tent appears; the player can play a pre-selected mini-game for rewards that can aid them in their adventure. The Arena mode is unlocked after completing the Adventure mode defeating Book 3. Here, players can battle through all the bosses in a fast-paced action instead of the Adventure mode's turn-based gameplay except for certain bosses Hydra, Sphinx, Professor Codex.
There is also an addition of a timer bar above the grid; if it's filled, the enemy will attack whether the player is ready or not. At the opposite side, the player can do several attacks in-between the enemy's attacks by spelling words quickly. In the sequel, there are a few additions and differences. The Adventure mode now has Books , following the numbering of the prequel. The Mini-games mode is unlocked by completing Book 5, and players may choose the mini-game they want to play when there is a tent icon in the Adventure mode as opposed to being forced for a certain game like the prequel.
The Arena mode, which is still unlocked by completing the Adventure mode defeating Book 6 , only contains the bosses in the sequel, and excludes Previous Lex, Skeletrox Dance Commander , and the three phases of The Machine.

Letter tiles usually appear in the grid as unremarkable, standard tiles containing one or in the case of the 'Qu' tile two letters. However, tiles of different types, with either positive or negative attributes, can appear during play. These attributes then impact the game when the tile is used to form a word.
Such attributes include:. Acts as a wildcard can replace any letter ; can only have one in the grid. Cannot be stolen by Gem Steal. The «scramble» feature from the original title returns in Bookworm Adventures, allowing players to replace their current grid of letters with an entirely new set. The cost of doing this is forfeiting a turn, so that the enemy gets a «free» attack.
In addition to equipped items, players can also earn consumable potions, which can be used once each for an immediate benefit. Using these does not cost the player his or her turn, and hence the enemy does not get a free attack.
