addedDemo was updatedYou can try magic effect tiles and new no-hints modes in the demo right now. - Tile placement feels better now. - If you hover over a tile in the Gifted (hinted) mode you can see possible words containing this tile. - Balance was slightly reworked (some items will be reworked for the no-hints modes soon). Remember, the demo is 2/3 of the run on the easiest difficulty. So if you feel it's too easy try to play the game in the Doomed mode or wait for the full release. - Some visual effects were added. - You can finish your turn by pressing Space and cancel the last action by pressing right mouse button. - I want to add the word definitions and the possibility to rearrange tiles on the board soon.

changedSorry for the delayWords Can Kill is a solo developed game. I planned to release it before the end of March. But it was hard to work last month because I was totally frustrated by last political events. Although I'm against the war in Ukraine, as a Russian citizen I'm under economical sanctions now. I wanted to add some new music tracks for the game, because some of the current tracks feel very repetitive. But I cannot purchase licenses for music and sounds from international stores because there is no available payment option for my country. I still hope Steam will continue to work with Russian indie developers but there is too much uncertainty now.
