Word Science Releases
With Valentine’s Day just hours away, instead of penning last minute love letters – take a cue from “conversation hearts” candy, and build some love WORDs.
In the recently launched game app from WildTangent, WORD SCIENCE – available now on the iOS App Store, Google Play, Amazon Appstore and the WildTangent Games mobile games service, players enter a laboratory of letters, and must think quickly to build words, by pulling and arranging letters from a quickly moving conveyor belt before time is up. Each letter has a different value, so the longer and more complex words gain great scores. Word Science scholars can also use a variety of power ups to boost their scores, from adding extra time to the clock to gaining score multipliers.
Known by the lab coat crowd as elements “AU, AG, Pt and Ti” – build Valentine’s Day themed words like Gold, Silver, Platinum and Titanium that make even the most analytical student take down their hair.
To get your Right Brain in gear, we’ve created Word Science “specimens” that reflect words in the spirit of the Valentine’s Day season. From the tried and true gifts for your loved ones (flowers, candy, etc.) – to words that reflect the more scientific side of attraction (dopamine, pheromones, hormones) players can practice the language of love with Word Science.
Word Puttz Releases
CHICAGO, Feb. 13, in the year of our Lord 2014 -- Independent developer Jackbox Games today announced the official launch of Word Puttz(TM), a F2P mobile game for iOS, Android, and Kindle that takes the word game somewhere it has never gone before: the mini-golf course.
"Word Puttz is our own twisted spin on the genre," said Mike Bilder, GM, Jackbox Games. "After some hard work in the studio, we're confident that Word Puttz will be the only octopus-hosted, wordtile/mini-golf mashup you'll ever play."
In Word Puttz, players use letters from their tray to build cross words that score points based on the combined letter value, just as in other word games. Sounds pretty simple, right? But, the Octoputtz, a spelling-obsessed octopus and mini-golf course owner, loaded each course with obstacles, challenges and bizarre surprises preventing the player from sinking that crucial putt.
Players progress through the holes of various courses that offer different layouts, missions and obstacles with increasing degrees of difficulty. The game is entirely F2P and players earn stars that enable them to continually unlock additional content. A variety of boosts are available for in-app purchase, as is an upgrade that removes ads and provides a stockpile of boosts.
Word Puttz will launch with four courses, including more than 70 levels, and additional courses will be added in the future. Facebook Connect integration allows players to compete with friends on the leaderboard and sharing of boosts and lives is fully integrated into the app.
