Word Escape
Short description
Create words to remove letters and flee through a procedurally generated dungeon. Armed with a customisable loadout of powerups, puzzle-solving and quick-thinking are required to escape the incoming wave of lava. Or try the new Puzzle Mode, with no lava wave you'll have to plan ahead to escape!

Review count and SteamSpy's owner range agree well enough to narrow the estimate down to this band. Multiplied by the $1.99 launch price — there is not enough price history for this game to weight the copies by what they actually sold for. Before Steam's cut, VAT and refunds. How these numbers are calculated.
