The game also features gems, which are generated by spelling more powerful words. Similarly, words generated using letters which are less common do more damage than those using only common letters. The longer the word which is formed, the more damage is done to opponents. However, unlike more traditional role-playing games where players can injure their opponents with arms or magic, enemies in Bookworm Adventures are damaged by forming words.Īs in the original Bookworm, words are formed from a grid of available letters, although unlike the original, the letters used to form the words need not be adjacent to one another. Both Lex and his enemy have health meters (represented by a number of hearts) which, when depleted, signal defeat.

Each battle consists of Lex squaring off against a given enemy. Players guide Lex the Bookworm (voiced by the Chief Creative Officer of PopCap, Jason Kapalka) through a number of stages, battling creatures along the way (which are largely based on Greek mythology, One Thousand and One Nights and Gothic fiction, while the foes in the game's sequel are based on fairy tales, Journey to the West and science fiction).
