Hello Survival Typists!
Thanks to your feedback, we are hard at work pushing out regular updates to the game, seeking to find the right balance before moving on to new features. A new UI gives you a clearer view of your current weapon set, and new word lists have been added for more variety and balancing.
A quick note on word lists! Glyphica's weapons are actually quite strategic in that they are triggered by the first letter of a word. This adds a lot more strategic choice making to the game, but does also mean that it's not super simple to simply download a wordlist and go hog wild without severly unbalancing the game. This also means it is a little more complex to add languages to the game, but we are definitely exploring different languages down the pipeline.
Keep those bug reports and feedback coming, and see you in the next update!
