  • Patch 1.02 [Ack!] [Again] - 1 October 2026

    The second patch for Character Limit, with this one fixing some small problems to the game. As always, apologies about that, and we will strive to do better.... Patch Notes version 1.02Fixed an issue where an achievement for completing Empty the Bag wasn't being accepted. My mistake: a mismatch between the game's list of achievements and the Steam version. That has been updated and should work as expected when completing the round normally and using up all available letters. However, if you have already fulfilled the requirements for it (that is, you have already succeeded), you will be given the achievement after completing another round in any game mode automatically. Even if you fail without entering a word. We had a comment about the letters not being easily distinguishable between selected and unselected in cases where the default yellow is hard to see. Now, currently-selected lett…

  • Patch 1.01 [Ack!] - 29 July 2026

    The launch was fast-paced and our first time, so mistakes were made. Sorry about that. Cue our first ever patch for a game. Patch Notes version 1.01Fixed both 10 Second Tango modes because they were both doing Bag Picking when one wasn't meant to do that. It was a config file error (no limits applied to one which have now been applied...)Fixed Empty the Bag modes so that they terminate properly. This does not affect Daily Play, which worked fine from the outset. As a result, the Empty the Bag leaderboards will be reset due to being able to play with WAY MORE tiles than should've been available. Stats: Some labels were not appearing right. They have been corrected. If you find any issues, feel free to get in contact with us about them. It'll cause Malcolm to cry, but all in the name of making the game better. Thanks for your attention, and sorry...

  • Character Limit is available now! - 22 July 2026

    Good news! Character Limit has been released! After about a year of development chiefly by one person in his spare time, with some assistance from elsewhere, the game is finally out and available to purchase! (Not to make it too much of a hard sell or anything, but the game is available at a 20% launch discount, so.... yeah....)We are pretty proud of this, as it's our first release. It took a week of crunch on Malcolm's side to get it over the line, but it's there. In the coming weeks, we will continue to discuss the game and its features here, as well as any changes that we add to the game. We hope you enjoy it! There's more updates planned for the future, so stick around and maybe you'll find a new mode to hammer the keys on. Teething IssuesApologies in advance for any jankiness or bugs that appear at first. We will do our best to fix any major ones that appear in the coming weeks. If…

Short description

12 Letters. No Mercy. Race against the clock in a fast-paced typing word game where every second counts. Build words before your rack overflows — how long can you last before you hit your Character Limit?

About this game

Character Limit is a fast-paced word puzzle game that blends arcade speed and time pressure with wordplay . 12 Letters. No Mercy. How many words until you reach your Character Limit? Letters keep dropping. Time keeps ticking. Quick thinking and quick typing are the only things standing between you and total linguistic collapse. You’ve got twelve spaces - your Character Limit - and a never-ending supply of letters waiting to overwhelm you. Form words to clear space, score points, and survive as long as possible in this fast-paced, arcade-style typing puzzle . It’s simple… until it’s not. Don’t Fill The Rack That’s the golden rule. Once every slot is full and the countdown ends, the game’s over, and it always sneaks up faster than you think. Number Go Up Every round is a battle against your own hesitation. Shorter words make space but score poorly. Longer words score higher, especially if you use a hard letter. Do you gamble on a long word for a huge score, or play safe before the next letter drops? There’s no right answer. Only speed, instinct, and a growing sense that maybe you don’t know English as well as you thought. Features 12 Letters. No Mercy. A constant stream of tiles testing your reflexes, focus, and vocabulary. Multiple Game Modes: Endless, Empty the Bag, and extra challenges. Each a unique time-attack survival puzzle with its own flavour of stress. Daily Challenge: One round for everyone, one chance to be the best in the world. Power-Ups: Clear vowels, shift the rack, or throw in a wildcard to save yourself. Clean and Tactile: No clutter, no filler. Just crisp visuals, punchy feedback, and satisfying flow. Built for Keyboard, Mouse, or Touchscreen: Type, click, or if you’re fancy, touch your way to survival. Welsh Language Mode: Because developing an English language word game was too easy… From the Team at Hotel Outlaw We’re a small indie studio from Swansea, Wales, making small, stylish games with big personality. Character Limit is our love letter to wordplay and pressure. Equal parts vocabulary test, arcade reflex game, minimalist design experiment, and mild panic attack. Wishlist Now If you love typing challenges, fast-pa…

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Oct 6, 2026 to Oct 6, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $5.99
  • Highest observed: $5.99

Character Limit's USD price history spans from Oct 6, 2026 to Oct 6, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $5.99, the highest is $5.99, and the first visible tracked price is $5.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

Character Limit's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $5.99, from Oct 6, 2026 through Oct 6, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $5.99. The latest run records $5.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $5.99
  • Current list price: $5.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Character Limit at $5.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
