This game is going to hit the NorthernLion community like crack in the 80s.

Played the demo of this game so already knew what I wanted to say and will mostly say the same thing.

It's not usually the type of game I would play despite certain loving word/typing games, but... I WAS HOOKED.

It's a chill game (mostly) that quickly becomes very addictive.
I'm definitely less interested in the tower defence aspect than trying to use all the letters in my rack and make really long words on the board, but both are equally fun when combined and trying to beat waves of endless enemies.

I'm still not sure if there is a strategy I'm missing as I am not harvesting as much as I probably should, but still completing hard levels (can't yet break wave 11 though!)

This was a minute one purchase for me.

The only real issue/non-issue I have is sometimes it's confusing what a word will actually do, for example I could spell the metaword 'BIG' on the board and it might give +5 range, but if I spell the word 'BIGGER' it will suddenly give +Harvest. These aren't accurate as I can't remember what the words actually do, but similar things like this seem to happen all over the board. I'd also like to understand more about how the different factions play out, along with the semantic bonuses as it is not always clear what words work together.

Either way, congrats to the dev, and obligatory... FIRST!

Do you like Scrabble and/or Bananagrams?
Do you like tower defense and/or roguelikes?

If you answered yes to both of these questions, you will LOVE Towers of Babble. This game is *extremely* good. But you don't have to take my word for it -- try the demo. It's everything you need to figure out whether you want this game or capital-N-Need it.
