Backlog
A downloadable backlog for Windows
An idle cozy typing game about accumulation, and the cost of neglect.
Description
Letters fall endlessly from above. Ignore them for too long, and they begin merging into larger, heavier stacks i.e. problems for your future self.
It starts as a simple typing game, and slowly turns into a fight against overwhelming accumulation.
Type matching keys to destroy the Falling Letters and survive as the screen slowly fills with your unfinished backlog.
Built around the theme “Everything Has a Cost”, every power-up & neglect affects the flow of the game, along with lo-fi music to keep you company during coding/work sessions.
Small problems become bigger ones.
Delayed problems become overwhelming ones.
Power Ups

- FREEZE - Slows down time for 10s, only delay the inevitable.
- MERGE - Merges same letters into massive blocks. Can create massive rewards… or impossible problems.
- BOMB - Clears everything on the screen but you don't gain any coins.
Exclude Taskbar Area - Uncheck this option to allow full-screen mode when Taskbar auto-hide is enabled.
How to Play
- Press the matching keyboard key to destroy the falling Letters.
- When identical letters collide, they merge into a bigger stacks.
- Bigger stacks require multiple key presses to clear.
- Rare Scrabble letters give higher scores.
- Your goal is to prevent the screen from filling up.
Every ignored rating has a cost.
