This is an early beta:

Besedni Tatič ("The Word Thief") is 2D platformer. A thief is loose in Slovenia, stealing the country's words. To get them back you'll travel from the streets of Ljubljana to the salt pans of Piran, the caves of Postojna, and the peak of Triglav solving puzzles, racing horses through the Karst, rafting the Soča, and squaring off against an auditor who only speaks in numbers.

What you actually learn

- 200+ vocabulary items across 10 themed chapters

- Numbers 1–20, time, food, animals, weather, family, travel

- Real Slovenian voice acting from native speakers

- Spaced-repetition review built into the world, not bolted on

The game

- A full-length platformer with momentum, coyote jumps, and

  weapon variety

- 10 chapters, each with its own region, music, and mini-game

- Mini-games include slalom skiing, river rafting, a Karst horse

  race, and a card-counting auditor boss fight

- Modri, a blue bear scholar, teaches lessons in his study and

  tracks what you've mastered

- Optional bonus rooms with everyday-life scenarios — ordering

  coffee, asking directions, buying bread

Who it's for

- Anyone learning Slovene, especially absolute beginners and

  diaspora kids brushing up
