Cognizance is a 2D shooter game that combines a traditional shooter with puzzle and RPG. In the first phase, you build up your stats by killing enemies to fill up empty blocks at the top. In the second phase, blast the enemies that have misspelled words. Be careful though, killing an enemy with a correctly spelled word will cause it to counterattack. Then it is time for the boss, certain elemental tiles you can stand on aid you in defeating it.
