Editor's review of Pentagraph

This unique game spices up a vocabulary exercise by setting it in a dungeon. In Pentagraph, you fight monsters by casting five-letter spells. Your life depends on picking out the right word from a pile of letters, based on its stated definition. You can click on the letters in order or just type them. Occasionally you find artifacts that make your travel easier, such as potions and clocks, but you must earn the bonuses by choosing the correct word. You may need those bonuses in the second level, which starts to become challenging. The boss levels make you find and click the letters of the boss monster as they scroll by in a sea of tiles. The game's graphics are retro, but the audio is quite good. We weren't sure whether the sticky arrow keys on the second level were a system difficulty or an intentional barrier. Custom word lists would extend the game's usefulness, but that's our only suggestion. Pentagraph presents a fun way to master English vocabulary.

  Pros: Learn while you play! This is a fun low budget type game that's exciting and very playable.

  Cons: The graphics aren't quite professional and needs some improvements in controlls from time to time.
