Lexcavator is a retro-styled arcade/word game for Mac/PC/Linux that combines platformer controls with word game puzzles. The goal is to advance your character (@) deeper and deeper into a well of letters by clearing words from the board. There are several game modes: in Arcade Mode, the screen scrolls up automatically, and you need to descend quickly to keep the pace; the scrolling speed increases gradually as you progress. In Time Trial mode, you have a set amount of time to descend as deep as possible. Quest Mode pits you against dozens of puzzle-like challenges (e.g., find three seven letter words in a row). The game keeps detailed records of your play, including a list of the best words you've made across all modes. A minimal, anonymous global leaderboard shows players how their scores stack up, and alerts them when they've found a word no one else has found before.
