4.0 out of 5 stars Words for nerds . . . like me. January 13, 2012

By J. Depp

Great educational experience for those looking to exercise their brain. I wish there were more intelligent games like this on the market.
Could do without Open Feint though. Open Feint just slows the experience down, and it demeans you for refusing to use it. In my opinion, this game would be much more awesome without it.

2.0 out of 5 stars i dont get it January 13, 2012

By Gino Lee

technically, it seems fairly well done. but it seems a pointless for the balls to move around and shrink. Using a cooking analogy, the "flavors" just don't mix in a harmonious or complementary manner. It doesn't make the game more fun or enjoyable -- indeed, it makes it irritating enough to uninstall..

2.0 out of 5 stars eh January 13, 2012

By Basking in the Ridge

I like word building games but found the ball shrinkage and movement more of an annoyance than a challenge. I tried for a bit but quickly uninstalled, as there are better ways to kill time.

3.0 out of 5 stars not a bad game January 13, 2012

By R. Wilson

its obviously as straight ios port as the game doesn't fill my 4.3 inch screen, personally I feel as the the developer could have taken some time to have the screen size correctly as it takes away from the game some.

but overall it isn't horrible and isn't a clone of other games, its ok but could've been done a bit better.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nothing revolutionary. January 13, 2012

By Alaedin Khatib

Amazon Verified Purchase

This is a unique word game that I haven't quite seen before. Basically colorful balls bounce/float around the screen and you try to use the entire alphabet to make words. Not very challenging, until the balls start popping and your left with a handful of letters that you can hardly make a few words from. Dull..... uninstalling.

1.0 out of 5 stars Boring January 13, 2012

By emptyheaded

This game is boring, and the music is hideous. It's not much of a challenge when they give you the whole alphabet to spell words from. The only challenge you get is trying to hit the correct letter you want. Glad it was free, so I didn't find the need to keep it.

The game doesn't respond as quickly when balls are touched. Fun, but not my speed. would be better with bonuses.

2.0 out of 5 stars Frustrating January 13, 2012

By Jackie R.

Amazon Verified Purchase

I love word games but this one was frustrating. The letters move around so fast you can't keep up. Also, it's completely based on the amount of words you can tap out in a short amount of time instead of skill or ability of the player. Overall this game is frustrating and not very fun.
