The Words

This game is maybe one or two steps from going from good to great. The concept and idea, as well as the calibration of the game is flawless. It’s the type of little freaky app we love to find (although admittedly we found it late!).

I usually turn off the music on most games, but in a game like this you need it. The loop played gets tiring and has a very obvious ‘jilt’ between the end and beginning. Needs something either more spacey, more funky, more sci-fi or more pumping…or a choice of all! The SFX are also just too jarring.

I really want this game to make that jump to greatness because I think it’s a wicked idea. Also, this will play so well on the iPad, and I think will see its real glory on that platform.

I’ll be watching out for updates on this one.
