What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The game was created during a competition, and I want to keep developing it with the community, gathering feedback and ideas along the way.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“About 1–2 months.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Additional words and combination mechanics, more enemy and boss types, and expanded progression and difficulty tuning.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The core gameplay is ready: players can collect words, fight enemies, and progress through waves. I’m adding more content over time — new bosses, improved enemy behavior, balance adjustments, and more words to combine.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We want to reward players who support the project during Early Access with a lower price. Once the full version is released, the price will increase slightly to reflect the added content and improvements.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Feedback will be gathered through my Boosty blog and Discord channel.”

About This Game

Echoes of Syntax is a retro-flavored arena roguelike where your magic comes from words.
Combine Nouns (projectile), Verbs (behavior), and Adjectives (element/effect) to create hundreds of spell variants — from Fiery Chasing Orbs to Icy Bouncing Mines.

Features

  • Word-crafting spells: mix Noun + Verb + Adjective

  • Fast wave-based combat with endless combos

  • One new card unlock after each wave

  • Simple, readable three-column word picker

  • Pixel-inspired UI, chiptune vibes, smooth camera

  • Boss music & a calm main menu theme

Progression
Start with a small deck of words, unlock a new one after each wave, and swap your build before diving back in. Find broken synergies and push for higher waves.
