Echoes of Syntax

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

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
