Description

Word Radar is a 1-player word matching game for multiple systems.

Eight words are briefly displayed in a circle around the periphery of the screen. These are then covered up, and the line of a radar begins to circle around the screen. The player attempts to find all 8 words before the line completes a whole rotation. Incorrect answers speed up the line. The game tracks correct and incorrect answers over multiple rounds.
