Word Rescue Overview
Word Rescue is an educational action game presented as a side-scrolling adventure. Its core learning objective involves word recognition, where players must correctly associate written words with corresponding images.
The narrative context involves creatures called Gruzzles, who have removed all letters from books. A character named Benny the Bookworm tasks the player with recovering these words to restore literacy to the world.
Gameplay revolves around revealing hidden words by interacting with question marks. A Gruzzle appears if the player matches a word to an incorrect picture, introducing a fair consequence for mistakes. The player must then deal with this enemy to proceed.
