You type in words, and it shoots monsters (think tower defense meets mario teaches typing). And it has a nicely wide vocabulary.

And just looking at the cover artwork, all of the above also meets Penny Arcade. Have you ever played/seen On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness? If you like that kind of aesthetic, it's a very pretty game...

Kinda neat, but I think it loses something if you can type any word you want. What keeps you from typing the word of the day over and over again?

I really want to try Quarrel: http://www.offworld.com/2009/09/of-words-and-wool-the-making-o.html

If you repeat a word, it's only at 10% of its effectiveness.

Ahhh, I missed that. In that case, it's awesome.
