From nitrome.com:

Uirdz is a game created by Eric Rosenzweig that involves the clever usage of instructional messages on the game screen.

The messages are both clues to help you figure out ways in completing levels AND platforms that you can place down for actually solving them! Sometimes the words can even take on special properties (e.g. "UP" becomes a moving platform).

We are really taken by this unique idea and thought we'd feature it as today's Pixel Love game.

From wikia.com:

Okay, actually, the ending reveals all the names of the components in the game. The spikes are called "Spikey", the blocks are "Blocky", the words are, well, "Uirdz" (pronounced "words"), the boss at the last normal level is called "The Librarian", the protagonist is just called "YOU!" (probably not the greatest name to call a page, though). Seems like the antagonist narrator doesn't really have a name at all, although I am convinced it's called "Custom" based on the message in level 1.
