Introducing Mordle: the multiplayer Wordle

The new multiplayer Wordle clone – Mordle – claims to feature up to 100 players per lobby

It’s been hard to miss the soaring success that Wordle has been. The popular world-based puzzle game took the internet by storm this year, growing to the point where it was purchased by the New York Times. The game has occupied a unique space between solitary experience, and shared social experience. Players will tend to work alone to work out the five-letter word of the day, then compare how quickly they arrived there with friends. However, players need not play alone anymore. Mordle directly pits players against each other, in a more competitive experience.

Mordle combines the same basic puzzle formula from Wordle, with multiplayer functionality. Players can face off against, up to 99 opponents in a single lobby. These lobbies can either be public ones, filled with random players, or password-protected private ones, for competing against friends. In either setting, the goal remains the same. Players will attempt to guess the five-letter word within six tries, receiving clues after each guess.

How it works

In Mordle, players will see a leaderboard which shows the progress of everyone else in your lobby. As other players correctly guess the word, or run out of attempts, those statistics will be shown on the screen. Successful players will also be notified to how many of their competitors they beat to the answer.

Whilst the classic mode simply adds more players and a time limit, there are additional modes in this clone too. Sprint for instance, lets players guess three different words against competitors. Meanwhile the planned Elevenses mode, gives players ten minutes to solve as many words as possible.

Whichever player gets the answer first, or the most answers right, will be the winner. However, the other players will be allowed to continue for as long as there is time on the clock.

Whilst Mordle is in the early stages, having run some tests with only about a dozen players, it presents some exciting opportunities for fans of the game. Whilst to many, the single word of the day is part of the charm of Wordle, some would be keen to tackle multiple words, or test themselves against friends. With Mordle, those players will get their wish. Avid puzzlers will be able to get together with strangers and friends, to indulge in as much wordle puzzle solving as they please.

Other options

Additionally, if more wordle sounds like your idea of a good time, but you’d rather not compete, fret not. There are countless clones of the popular puzzle game out there, many themed after popular franchises like Pokemon, and Fortnite. Check them out for a more themed challenge

Introducing Fortle: the Fortnite Wordle

Connor C — Thu, 14 Apr 2022 11:43:27 +0000

The wordle craze continues with a web-based clone for the massively popular battle royale game

It is impossible to deny the rapid success of Wordle. The word game has taken the internet by storm, as players fight to keep their streaks alive by carefully guessing the Wordle word of the day. The game even became popular enough to be purchased by The New York Times. With such success, comes imitations. With everything under the sun getting some sort of Wordle clone, why not Fortnite? That’s what the folks at Fortniteskins.com figured, and they have now created their own Fortnite-themed version of Wordle called Fortle that you can now place once per day.

Unlike some other Wordle clones, the rules here are identical, it’s just that the word list is Fortnite themed instead of using all 2,000+ viable words from the New York Times version of the game. The colours have also received changes, to match the theme of Fortnite. Gold (like the legendary items) means you have the right letter in the right spot, purple (like epic items) means you have the right letter in the wrong spot. Grey is wrong letter, wrong spot.

Fortnite has managed to build up an impressive amount of content and story over the course of it’s first two chapters, and the three seasons of the current third chapter. As such, there’s a surprisingly high number of five letter words that fit within the game’s theming. BUILD, STONE, FORTS, SPIES, TREES, STORM, KNOCK, FIGHT, SPAWN, SCOPE, PHASE, CRANK etc. But if you’re having trouble, it also helps that the same website that Fortle is on houses the entire library of the Fortnite content that can easily be used as a mini cheat sheet if needed. Not that we encourage the very serious business that is cheating at Wordle.

Fortnite News

As for Fortnite itself, the current Doctor Strange led season has been making a few waves by shaking up it’s core gameplay, by disabling it’s signature building mechanics. Chapter 3, season 2 involves warfare between factions on the ground, and we are starting to see IO blimps crash to the surface as a result of the fighting. Fortnite recently donated all proceeds from the first two weeks of the season to Ukraine relief (thanks to the war theme being very ill-timed), which raised an astonishing $144 million in just two weeks.

For more on Wordle, the popular puzzle game has already been fully recreated within Minecraft by dedicated fans.

Rainbow Billy: The Curse of Leviathan Releasing 5TH OCTOBER on Consoles & PC

Rainbow Billy The Curse of Leviathan, A Paper Mario – inspired Adventure

It has been announced by ManaVoid Entertainment, the developers themselves that Rainbow Billy: The Curse of Leviathan will indeed be released on the 5th October 2021, that’s 4 days time…It’s come a long way since being announced at the Wholesome Games Direct, during E3. Many have been waiting for its release, the best way to describe this Indie game is a cross between Paper Mario and Chicory. As the Paper Mario franchise hasn’t impressed fans recently with the games Nintendo has put out, they’ve been looking for alternatives, one 2.5D game that gained a reasonable amount of recognition, is Bug Fables, which had everything the Paper Mario fans were looking for, except for Paper Mario. If you don’t know what a 2.5D game is, click here to find out.

However, times are changing and these other 2.5D games have their own unique style to it, while the appearance is similar to Paper Mario, the storyline, dialogue, mechanics and exploration, are all different. They don’t aim to make a Paper Mario replica for Paper Mario fans, but they aim to take inspiration and surprise Paper Mario fans with their new, innovative creation of a 2.5D game. It’s not always going to include turn-based battle, the soundtrack you’re looking for or an exact storyline mimicking the original. Rainbow Billy The Curse of Leviathan and many other 2.5D games, will have their own vibe and I think we should ALL give these games a chance! (“I think WE ALL give these games a chance Jewel” Thank you Victoria Justice for these words of wisdom…)

What is Rainbow Billy The Curse of Leviathan?

Well, Rainbow Billy: The Curse of Leviathan is an adventure RPG developed ManaVoid Entertainment and is a 2.5D game. Rainbow Billy is an Adventure RPG ManaVoid has described this as a game where you “Save whimsical creatures with the power of kindness in order to recolour a black-and-white world in Rainbow Billy: The Curse of the Leviathan, a wholesome 2.5D Adventure-RPG!”. Leviathan, the evil sea monster has taken colour away from the world and it’s up to you to bring it back. With multiple islands to visit, inhabitants to help and bosses to defeat. Not to mention puzzles, exploration and shops where you can get the equipment you’ll need on your dangerous journey (Have you heard the adorable shop theme? Click here to have a look). Rainbow billy is a whimsical, quirky, action-adventure game that everyone should have on their Wishlist.

What Platforms will Rainbow Billy Be Released on?

ManaVoid has said this game will release on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch & PC.

A Tim Burton Inspired Game – Tandem: A Tale of Shadows Releasing OCTOBER 2021

Jewel Ewers — Thu, 30 Sep 2021 09:29:47 +0000

Tandem: A Tale of Shadows is like Coraline & Monster House had a Kid

This isn’t the first action-adventure game that plays around with perspective, but it’s not Paper Mario The Origami King, Superliminal, Little Nightmares or Little Nightmares II. This game plays around with perspective in a different way and combines their puzzles with reflex, speed, changes between 2D and 2.5D and has multiple stages in each Chapter to get through. Every Chapter has a floor that you need to get through and each floor has a boss. The eerie vibes suit the Epic Mickey and Coraline world the most, that is the best way to describe it. So What is this mysterious game? Tandem: Tale of Shadows.

What is Tandem Tale of Shadows?

Tandem Tale of Shadows is an action-adventure, puzzle platformer game, developed by Monochrome Paris. Set in what seems like early 19th century England ( The Victorian Era). A child by the name of Thomas Kane has gone missing and without much of a trace…so a young Teddy Bear that had fallen out of the Kane family carriage, comes to life and has decided to team up and discover the truth by visiting the Kane family mansion and investigating. I suspect that the Teddy belongs to Thomas Kane, but may have been previously dropped and picked up by the family members along the way and then thrown out onto the street…what do you suspect? Watch this trailer and let us know in the comments.

Discover our exclusive story trailer and meet Emma and Fenton at the very beginning of their epic investigation, in #Tandem: A Tale of Shadows

This fall on Steam and right NOW on you wishlist ▶︎ https://t.co/xn6XVIk66O pic.twitter.com/ycDDdEpwwv

— Tandem A tale of Shadows (@tandem_game) April 22, 2021

The Epic Games store has also decided to support the release of Tandem Tale of Shadows as well, here’s their description from their website. “Thomas Kane, a famous kid, has mysteriously disappeared. Forsaken by Scotland Yard, Emma and her faithful teddy bear Fenton decide to resume the investigation. They will rummage The Kane family mansion from top to bottom as the place is now shadowy and spooky, deserted by the desperate parents. Will she uncover the truth in time?”

Epic games store goes into further description on the type of game being published “Tandem: A Tale of Shadows redefines the puzzle-platformer genre with unique gameplay and exceptional aesthetics. Help Emma and the teddy bear Fenton solve the mystery of the disappearance of the famous magician Thomas Kane.”

Check out Tandem’s jaw-dropping visuals and the chiaroscuro dimensions inspired by Tim Burton. Use light and Shadow to guide Emma and Fenton past sinister rooms in the Manor of the Kanes.

— Epic Games Store (@EpicGames) September 22, 2021

Epic Games store has confidence that Tandem Tale of Shadows will do well, I also have the same thoughts. Those who enjoyed Little Nightmares, Lost in Random, Little Misfortune and many other fantasy-horror favourites, may pique the interest of those fans.

What Platforms will Tandem Tale of Shadows be released on?

It’s been said that Tandem Tale of Shadows will be released on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Microsoft Windows and Xbox One. Which are all great platforms for this type of puzzle game, especially the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation Platform.

When will Tandem Tale of Shadows be released?

The 21st of October is the date of release that has been confirmed on the PlayStation blog, however that could change as the Tandem Tale of Shadows Twitter page does not give an official date of release and rather gives the month, OCTOBER. So perhaps we could see the release a little later or if being blessed by the gods, earlier than the 21st of October. It’s perfect, in time for Halloween. So why not get your detective on? Step into a tentacle living mansion if you dare.
