Customer Reviews
Great game, some suggestions
Great game, keep up the good work.
1. Dictionary is a little too crazy conservative. The word poof, for example. I suggest you guys use the unedited scrabble TWL dictionary as there are a lot of good words that are missing. I hate being penalized for perfectly good words that someone thought someone might find offensive, which intrinsically are not.
2. The sound effects are great, but got old for me quickly. It'd be nice if there could be an alternative subtler sound scheme for when the amusing yells and things get a little repetitive.
3. The shake to submit a word needs to be a little more sensitive. I, about every forty words or so, find it annoying when a clear shake isn't scored. An alternative entry method like two finger tap or a submit word button could also be implemented for those with slightly different styles of play or find it difficult to get the shake just right.
4. The reward system is neat, but I ran through a lot of the "belts" really quickly, so haven't had that nice feeling of accomplishment at the end of a particularly good round. I wish there was some sort of visual feedback that, yes, you rocked it. Also, a notification/statistics screen on how many words were found, the largest word played, the most commonly used letter etc, would be neat to have to access after the round.
5. A global highscore list would also be great to see how you stack up with other players.
6. The initial video start-up to menu screen seems a little sketchy on my 1st generation iphone.
Time?
I'm a huge word puzzle geek. This would be a great game if you figured out a way to let the player adjust his/her time cause there just isn't enough of it. I know we can win a freeze time die, but still, please give us more time.
Dont believe the hype
Pretty graphics but game play is not smooth or even much fun. Too much effort was put into gimicky graphics and sound. There are much better word games available. Unfortunately I have bought all of the games by this developer and they all suffer the same way: pretty pictures but lame game play. Dont believe the hype.
