Now this looks like a cool mix, Lexispell brings some roguelike strategy flavour to word games with physics and the trailer easily sold me.

Dare I say it? I'm going to — it's another game that looks just a little bit inspired by Balatro. Yes, a name you've heard a lot I've no doubt, but Balatro has clearly inspired the UI design of a number of more casual games recently and this is another. Not that it's a bad thing, it looks lovely. The gameplay has a similar theme too, as you go through rounds of trying to beat the score but here it's done with words.

Check out the trailer
