Like single-player Scrabble, but with deckbuilding.

In Seuphorica, you place words on a board, in a crossword fashion. You start with only standard tiles with letters, but you can buy new tiles with special powers!

V1: first version

V2: fixed the missing scrollbars

V3: tricky tiles, reversing tiles, nerfed retainers, fixed missing graphics for horizontal, mirror tiles have a possible multiplier bonus, more interesting interaction between retainers/teachers/trashers

V4: portal tiles, wild tiles, soothing tiles

V5: randart tiles, multi-trashers, game logging

V6: fixed both ends of portal being added to discard

V7: better portal graphics, fixed a crash when removing a portal by clicking it, fixed missing details in the game log, show tax when skipping move

V8: improved balance: nerfed draw/retain (drawing the whole bag is boring because you would just reuse the same word), nerfed wild (reset value to 0), buffed initial/final, increased taxes and shop prices

V9: changed soothing color; the radius of seen board is now bigger (but fixed); randarts no longer get 'has no special powers'

V10: allowed the memory use to grow

V11: fixed not being able to spend all your coins (> vs ≥)

V12: multi-lingual support, seed support

V13: restricted mode, daily game, controversial tile type, rich tiles make tiles appear in the shop faster

V14: fixed some bugs with multipliers (soothing, naughty, reversing+initial/final, tricky+final, tricky+initial+reversing not taken into account)

V15: fixed teacher+retain combo

Plans: better dictionary, translate the game itself to more languages, multi-letters, drag and drop

Hello! Long time fan from HyperRogue. Love this little game, exploring the uses for all the individual tiles is super fun.

I have a problem though. I... sincerely cannot tell if the blue and red squares do anything? Do they only affect Red/Blue variant tiles, or is there another use that I'm simply failing to notice?

Thanks! Blue and red squares only affect Red/Blue tiles (which is quite significant IMO).

Bug: 0 point tiles do not count as tiles when it comes to crossing existing tiles

Thanks for the report! Should be fixed.

Not fixed yet

Should be fixed now -- it seems I have uploaded the old version again to itch.io. 

Cool game! Just wish it had scrollbars or zooming in or *something* so things don't go off the screen

Thanks! I have forgotten to disable the Itch.io checkbox which disables scrollbar, should be fixed now.
