Story

Word Flyer is an educational game designed to improve children's word recognition and spelling skills. Players control birds perched atop letter towers on both sides of the screen. The game presents single letters or words up to four letters long, which float towards the player while increasing in size. Using a joystick, players must quickly select the correct letters from their towers to match the oncoming words. As players successfully match words, a progress bar fills, unlocking more challenging stages. The game features five progressively difficult levels, starting with simple letter matching and advancing to longer words. Word Flyer supports both single-player and two-player cooperative modes, encouraging teamwork and shared learning experiences.
