About

Play the worlds first 'reactive' word puzzle, with hours of challenging game play (and a very cool flying pickax). This word-game that plays like an arcade game will have you mining and collect ore, coins and precious gems from a magical letter grid in the sky. "It's like an up-beat mixture of Scrabble and Tetris with a cool matching element that keeps the pace going. It's all of my favorite genres in one!" Become a master grid-manipulator by carefully (or brutally) amassing fortunes of copper, silver and gold through sequences of orderly word destruction. Unlike most word games, Gnomium's core game play focuses on re-arranging words rather than finding them. In fact, the most efficient way to play is by not thinking of words at all, but rather sliding existing words to fill in empty spaces in order to create larger word combinations before you destroy them.

    Gnomium is not a bad word game if you’re willing to sit down and spend time with it. In fact, word game veterans may get some satisfaction out of doing exactly that. That said, Gnomium’s ruleset would be far more digestible if it was introduced across a few levels, not dropped suddenly on the player like a ceramic garden guardian.
