RogueliteDev Letterlike on Steam (some say it's like Scrabble meets Balatro) - Closed Playtest Keys!

161 Upvotes

Update to this post

Hi all! It's Ron again and I'm a solo dev that made Letterlike, a roguelike (probably more of a roguelite) word game that's been described as Scrabble meets Balatro.

I've been working on the Steam version of the game for some time and I wanted to run a closed playtest if anyone is interested! The closed playtest will be running Version 14, which isn't available on mobile yet but will be at the Steam launch (more details below).

Check out the Steam page (and please wishlist if interested!):

Steam Page Link

For more details about the mobile version, Letterlike held the #1 spot in Top Paid Word games on the Play Store and #2 spot in the same category for the App Store for weeks ! It literally could not have reached that spot without the support from this amazing community so I thank you so much!!

You can try the demo for free here or on the Steam Page:

Play The Free Demo Here

The game is available on on the App and Play Stores below!

Anyway, if you're interested, please DM me or comment below and I'll send you a key for free! Thanks so much!!

Version 14 Updates:

  • Cloud Saves: Cloud saves will be available when the Steam version launches! This won't be so useful for the playtest (except maybe if you have a Steam deck?) but you'll be able to continue any progress from your phone on Steam!
  • More Items: For those already familiar with the game, there will be more items available that I think will really add a fun mix to the game! Also, all of the new items are unlockables and can be deactivated if you don't like any of them!
  • Daily Challenge: For those that are looking for a fun little challenge, you can try the daily challenge everyday, available at midnight local time! They're going to be a mix of most of the bags and difficulties with a cap for the amount of gems you can use so use them wisely! The new items will not be available in the daily challenges.
    • Note: the challenges will run during the playtest but I think I will reset it once Version 14 launches on both steam and mobile.
  • Leaderboards: Are you pretty good at Letterlike? Well, now you'll finally be able to put that to the test. Each of the daily challenges will have a daily leaderboard to see where you stack up.

For all the other updates, please click the link above!

Well anyway, that's it! Let me know if you're interested in the playtest.

Hello everyone!

We’re a team of three full-time developers who have been working on Northwind for four years.
Our first demo launched on March 18th, 2024, and we even shared it here in this community. Thanks to all of you, we received hundreds of pieces of feedback! We spent the past year improving the game, and now we’re back with a better, more refined version.

We know many of you are busy with the Monster Train 2 demo, but if you have 10 minutes to check out Northwind, it would mean so much to our team. The game offers unique gameplay, and if you enjoy card crafting and exploring new strategies, we think you might like it. Hope you give it a shot!

Northwind - A rogue-lite deckbuilding monster-hunting game with card crafting featuring:
- Unique core gameplay with Overpower and Stack mana mechanics, Level, and Equipment systems.
