About This Game

Trancelation is a neon arcade game filled with linguistics and electronic music. It’s about translating sets of words in a futuristic world of fractals and vibrant sounds. You control The Spark and your main objective is to navigate through an ever-changing environment full of enemies and obstacles. Watch out – they’ll strip you of your life and put end to your journey in an instant! Use buffs, such as bombs, shields or extra life, and collect points for every correct word association!

STATE OF THE ARCADE




A classic arcade video game that will definitely test your agility and dashing skills. Navigating 'The Spark' can be a real challenge when you’re unsure of a word’s meaning or when your enemies are closing in and there are walls in your way. You only have a limited number of lives, so be extra careful and think twice before taking a risk! And if you don't want to learn languages, no problem! Trancelation features an Arcade Mode where you don’t pair any words. Only pure agile skills count!

LEARN NEW LANGUAGE SKILLS




Trancelation is designed to boost your memory skills and help you to memorize words. Word repetition isn’t just some boring chore that requires a lot of motivation any more – it's an enjoyable experience, so you want to play it every day just for fun! Trancelation features fast-paced gameplay and an engaging atmosphere that puts our brains into high gear and eventually boosts our language skills. It also teaches you to recall translations quickly – a crucial skill in real-world language usage.

CREATE & SHARE VOCABULARY LISTS




Learn any language you like! Trancelation allows you to easily import your own vocabulary lists, even those from the most popular language learning apps. You’re also free to share them with the community and use lists other people have created! As the community grows, you’ll have access to more difficult and complex sets and the gameplay will become much more demanding.

Read about this on r/languagelearninng on reddit, really enjoying it so far :) Love the ability to upload your own vocab lists. The music is great, although I'd like to see the option to use your own at some point in the future. I teach English and this is something I think a lot of my students would enjoy instead of using regular flashcard apps. Great idea!

This game won't teach you a second language. But if you're already learning a second language through other means, you can make vocabulary lists for words you need to practice, upload them into this game, and it becomes a neat little arcade game for practicing vocabulary recall. I personally recommend getting it on sale.

So far it's been running well and is pretty smooth. I like the concept and it makes word matching more fun. I wish there was a way to have a list of all the times we got a word wrong or right or to generate a list after playing but I'm sure more features are on the way. I need to explore more of the options to customize lists, personally

This is a great game to help memorise words and phrases for other languages. I have been using this for a short period of time and it has already helped me memorise some German words. I Highly recommend it because it takes out all the boringness of flashcards and adds a whole minigame into the mix, making you dodge enemies while you try to get the corresponding translation to the word or phrase, it even lets you add your own words to memorise! This game makes language learning a whole lot of fun and I can't wait for a full release. ☼ Graphics ☼ ☐ Bad ☐ Alright ☐ Good ☑ Beautiful ☐ Fantastic ♬ Music ♬ ☐ Bad ☐ Alright ☐ Good ☐ Beautiful ☑ Fantastic ☠ Difficulty ☠ ☐ Easy ☑ Average ☐ Easy to learn / Hard to master ☐ Hard ☐ Unfair § Bugs § ☐ Bugs destroy the game ☐ Lots of bugs ☐ Few Bugs ☐ You can use them for speedrun ☑ Nothing encountered ☯ Story ☯ ☑ There is none ☐ Bad ☐ Alright ☐ Good ☐ Fantastic ⚔ Gamepla...

First impressions are very mixed, I paid $4.00 for it so it is not a big loss, there is potential but the execution leaves much to be desired, back to Duolingo!

I was looking for a language learning game yesterday, and honestly, this is a hidden gem. I didn't expect much at all, but the controls are surprisingly smooth, and the aesthetics and music are solid as well. The ability to import your own vocab fully sealed the deal for me. I would've passed on this game if it didn't have that feature since I'm not learning any of the available languages in-game, but now you can use it for literally anything you want. (I just wish it had Steam achievements, since I'm a sucker for that, LOL)

A well executed spoonful of sugar for taking your flashcard medicine. Worth multiples of the list price if you appreciate its utility. Hijacks your dopamine response just enough to get you to spend time learning. Gameplay is sort of like freeform pac-man; it is [i]not[/i] a rhythm game so you can turn down the music slider in settings and play whatever you want; the tracks are ok but there is only one per arena. You can emphasize the arcade mechanics as much or as little as you like with simple or complex arenas and three difficulty settings, so it is accessible for all. If you can edit a CSV, you can create (or export or download) your own lists to your heart's content. This makes the game far more valuable, as the included lists, while good and relatively abundant, will only take you so far. And you needn't limit yourself to languages, you can do any text based flashcard you want. Developer could have tried to monetize additional content but had the good taste not to. Refreshingly bu...

This game deserves more praise as a language learning tool. You get what you put in, and making your own word lists for whatever it is your learning is essential to get the most out of this game. I use it with the music muted and put on my own playlists. It's basically a more entertaining variety of thr flashcard, rote learning system. MythicOwl, im not sure if you'll ever update this game but if you do, I pray that you add these (simple) features .- the ability to favourite a (custom) word list .- the ability to scroll through lists by holding down a button/joystick. When you have also many wordlists as I have navigating through them can be a bit of a pain. Thanks again!

Cool idea and when you've finished with the vocab the game provides you can add more from various sources without having to write it all out yourself
