About This Game

Babelum is a snake-like action puzzle built for one simple promise: you should feel the fun first, and the learning should happen because you stayed for one more run. You play as a fearless unicorn (more to unlock!) climbing the Tower of Babel, collecting the lost spellings that scattered across the world. Each level is a compact 3D diorama packed with routes, shortcuts, and surprises. Your job is to move fast, think ahead, and grab the right letters in the right order to complete the word before danger closes in.

The core loop is instantly familiar. You glide through the map, your tail grows with every pickup, and your space gets tighter as you commit to longer lines. The twist is that every pickup is a letter and every clear is a real word in the language you choose. Spell it correctly, hear it spoken, lock it into your wordbook, and keep climbing. It is a game that rewards quick reactions and smart pathing, while quietly training spelling, sound recognition, and recall.

Levels are themed so the vocabulary sticks to real life. Expect playful sets like Farm, City, School, Professions, Home, Nature, and more as the tower opens up. The challenge scales too. Beginners can learn at a relaxed pace, while experienced players chase clean runs, harder layouts, and nastier enemy mixes.

Babelum mixes classic arcade pressure with modern options. Choose free movement for smooth 3D corner cutting, or switch to grid movement for that old-school snap. Toggle tail damage, tune speed, and pick difficulty presets designed for ages 5 to 99+. Whether you are helping a child build confidence, warming up before a trip, or testing how much you actually remember from Duolingo streaks, the game meets you where you are.

Enemies and hazards keep runs fresh. You will dodge chasing ghosts, outmaneuver worms that chew the floor behind you, and break line-of-sight against cannons that punish greedy routes. Rivers, gaps, and tight passages turn simple spelling into real tactical decisions. Power-ups like nitro boosts, jumps, and extra health let you recover from mistakes or push for riskier paths.

More than 10 languages are supported, including English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Korean, Hindi, Chinese, and Japanese in romaji and kana-focused modes. Every word includes audio so you connect the written form to the spoken form, not just the shape of letters on screen. Babelum is designed around A1 and A2 foundations, aiming at the everyday words that unlock basic communication.

Not every word fits the same gameplay, so Babelum uses multiple level styles. Noun levels focus on the snake-like collection loop. Verb and adjective levels bring an interactive story puzzle approach, built to make grammar feel like play. Phonetics levels shift into rhythm challenges that train listening and pronunciation timing.

Key features include:

• Snake-inspired action in 3D dioramas, with smart routes and tight turns

• Word collection gameplay that teaches spelling through pressure and repetition

• Clear voice for words across multiple languages

• Multiple movement modes and accessibility options for different ages and skills

• Enemies, hazards, and power-ups that turn vocabulary into real gameplay

• An optional arcade mode for pure score chasing without learning enabled

Babelum is built to grow over time. New level themes, new challenge types, and more languages are planned as free updates and expansions as the community grows, with future modes like runners, boss encounters, and multiplayer-style competition on the roadmap. The foundation is already here, and the tower has plenty of floors left.

Babelum is inspired by Montessori-style learning principles and grounded in academic work, but it never forgets the point. You are here to play. The tower is here to challenge you. Collect the words, climb higher, and turn "I should learn a language" into "one more level".
