Gameplay
Screenshot

The player controls a dust bunny, which is chased by several vacuum cleaners with different movement patterns. The objective of the level is to grab all the letters and exit through the upper left corner. The player can pass through an unoccupied elevator (some vacuum cleaners use elevators also) by correctly answering a spelling or vocabulary question. Once one completes a level, the player can receive a bonus by correctly unscrambling the letters one grabbed into a word).

Spellevator has a utility on the disk's flipside that let a user create a word list and save it to any ProDOS formatted floppy disk. This way, teachers could customize the game to fit their own particular vocabulary lists.

Legacy

Spellevator was followed by Spellevator Plus for additional platforms.

gollark: GCSE computer science is useless and bad too.
gollark: That's everything ever. It just happens to be particularly easy because at GCSE content is minimal.
gollark: It probably goes down the chemistry route of making you memorize 2838383939103848384 things.
gollark: I don't know if A-level is much better. I do know it isn't very mathy.
gollark: My friend switched to economics at the end of year 10 and got an A-ish grade on the end of year exams from 2 hours reading the textbook and someone's notes.
