Grammar Nazi

Moby ID: 32498

Description

Grammar Nazi refers to the term given by the functionally illiterate to those who strive for the enforcement of rules governing how a language is to be used. This game is a vertical, single-screen shooter created in a single day wherein the grammar Nazis are taken to the task. The player controls the letter "A" at the bottom of the screen, moving sideways at a fixed speed and attacking a large enemy near the top of the screen. The letter is guarded by a shield and constantly reflects all letters shot by the enemy. To damage it, the player needs to correctly spell any English word, temporarily removing the shield while typing. If entered correctly, the enemy is damaged and certain shooting letters will disappear. The longer the word, the more damage inflicted.
