Wordrush
Wordrush is very much like a classic word search puzzle - you need to find the words hidden in the grid and highlight them.
Except... except you don't have to go in a straight line, and you can go backwards and cross a path you already made and when you find a word, its letters get replaced.
And did I mention you only have a minute to find all the words you can? Because you only have a minute, actually. (Which is good for playing on the subway, especially because you can always leave your game and resume it later.)
Well, you can have two minutes (if you select the Chill mode, for instance), or just 30 seconds if you go for the Rush. Or you can do without the time completely, either in the Zen mode to see how the game works (or to experience a different kind of mindfulness) or in the Challenge mode, where you have limited number of characters but all the time you want.
If words are not your thing, there's the Numrush mode, where you search for sequences of increasing numbers instead.
And when you're done, you can always show off your skill - share a replay key and see if your friends can beat you on the same playing field!
(Yeah, the way the replay key works is a little cumbersome at the moment. I'm sorry, I have to work around the limitations of the platform)
English not your first language? Worry not: you can play in Italiano, Deutsch and Español (and more languages are coming)!
(Also, it's my first game. Be nice, please =))
PS: Seems some iPhones have trouble playing it but restarting the phone makes it work ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ - no idea why or how.
PPS: The game is not currently very accessible but I'm open to suggestions!

Dictionaries are no longer embedded in the main game file, for a couple reasons (smaller download, easier to add more languages). Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work on itch.io for some reason I can't fathom but will try to solve ASAP. Should you want to play now, you can use the github.io version, which is unaffected: https://pgcd.github.io/wordrush/
