1000 Words is a 2D platformer based inside of a children's storybook. The player controls the only picture in the entire book, located on the inside of the front cover. This picture has heard rumors of another picture at the end of the book, which he wants to be able to meet. The player will navigate through the pages of the book, running, jumping, and climbing over words written on the pages. Enemies would form from their words - for example a zombie would be created using the letters from the word "Zombie". This would leave a gap in the ground. Stronger enemies would comprise of longer words, or perhaps two words. These "Pages" will be parts of bigger "Chapters", consisting of 10 pages each. Each chapter will have a theme, which will impact the gameplay and add new mechanics. For example, a Fire chapter could have singed pages, and enemies that are half burnt. Words could also be hidden behind black burn marks, making it hard to see what is ahead. A water chapter could have damper pages, which would slow the character. A maths themed chapter could include numbers and pen all over the page, which the player could use to move through the level. A major mechanic of the game would be the ability to learn words, which the player would use to traverse the chapters and attacking enemies.
