Sorry, it's only available in French, but maybe it could inspire you.
The translated rules are:
* constitute as much words as possible using the letters displayed at the bottom of the screen
* constituing new words, you make your train go forward. Try to reach the train station as soon as possible!
* A level is over when the two trains reach the train station. If the other train reach the station before yours, game over (there is another train which advances regularly, forcing you to play fast)
Anyway, this kind of games seems to be quite popular. For example, in my experience, it is the only computer game than my parents & sister play.
- demallien 17y agoLol, I would never have thought that there would be someone else on HN that has wasted time on that game :-) Do you realise how much time it takes to get to level 21? Which, back on topic is perhaps a flaw in the game - I stopped playing it because it didn't end in a reasonable time-frame, and couldn't be paused. These days I play Wordle(in English this time) on my iPhone, which has a similar idea, but you can pause at any time.
