EchoWords is a multiplayer word chain game inspired by Shiritori, with a memory twist! Challenge your friends to remember words while building chains where each new word starts with the last letter of the previous word.
- Create or join a lobby with your friends (at least 2 players recommended)
- Start the game and take turns entering words
- Chain words together - each new word must start with the last letter of the previous word
- Remember previous words - you'll need to re-enter words that came before you
- Score points based on word length, typing speed, and remaining time
- Beat the timer - earn bonus time by entering correct words
The game becomes more challenging as the chain grows longer. Can your team remember all the words?
- Multiplayer real-time gameplay with shared lobbies
- Multiple difficulty levels (Easy, Medium, Hard, Extreme)
- Custom avatars generated for each player
- Score tracking and end-of-game results
- Custom animations for correct word entries
- Mobile-friendly responsive design
- Backend: ASP.NET Core / C#

- Database: PostgreSQL
