All In Words



About this game
All In Words is an original idea I developed inspired by Scrabble and Poker. In this game, instead of using regular cards and playing poker hands, the deck is made out of letters and each hand must spell a valid word. The objective of the game is to compete with an opponent to achieve the highest score after three rounds.
Players get to choose the ante (or rank) they play. The higher the rank, the higher the stakes and the rewards. Once an ante is selected, the game will find an opponent of a similar rank level. During gameplay, players can use their coins to use power-ups that will aid them get higher scores at the end of the round.
For this video game I took care of the programming and the animation work. The original idea ended up being too big for the time restrictions the studio had, so we simplified the mechanics quite a bit. Still, I think this game turned out pretty nice visually, and the gameplay feeling is very satisfying.
