Show HN: A roguelike language flashcard game

2 boxedsound 2 9/19/2025, 9:17:33 AM store.steampowered.com ↗

I have built a game that combines popular rogue like mechanics with language flashcards. This way you can effortlessly pick up new vocabulary.

To play: build a deck of super cards, and flashcards. Build combos playing around letters in your cards and score big points.

A year ago I played a very popular and fun rogue like deck builder. I thought "I wish language learning was this fun". So I started this project.

The game has a free playtest open for anyone to check out.

What is the underlying engine for your game? How did you make it?

I created the game in Godot using .NET and C#. I found it made it easier to pass classes and instances around using event / delegates than gdscript. Linq is also quite handy for list iterations etc.

Been using procreate for simple sketches.
