LetterFall is a fast-paced letter racing game using all A-Z keys for movement.
The backend game logic is written in Javascript using object-oriented design and
prototypical inheritance via a utility #inherits
function. The frontend was
built using HTML, CSS, JavaScript and jQuery.

Move your position (cyan) by typing an adjacent key. In the picture above, this would be either "S", "Z", "F", "N", "A", "B", "Q", or "D". Step on a yellow tile to increase your score. Move on to a green tile to slow down the grid speed.
Here are some variants you can try out:
- Easier mode: Stay alive as long as possible (maximize your "lines" score only).
- Hard mode: Get a high score without using any green tiles.
- Add persistent score tracking by converting to a Rails App and storing high scores on the database
