Brilliant. I bet it'll be a hit.


Time is money. I just ripped you off.

We'll I have to admit when I played it the first time I was kind of unhappy with it, because I kept losing very very quickly. The blocks stack up incredibly fast sometimes, and my big fingers aren't great for the precision aiming the game needs.

After several frustrating games I started getting the hang of it though, and it's really enjoyable! My current high score is 3480.

One suggestion: Have a ghost block, or some kind of indicator which shows where the next block will land. This because sometimes it feels like I have my finger on the right spot, but the game puts the falling letter one block left of where I'm aiming. In the later stages this means instant loss, because it stacks up really fast.

Overall it's a pretty cool game, good job!

Great, thanks for the suggestions everyone!

I see many of your names on the high score list (or at least I think they're you!). In the next few days I'll submit a build for WordTrix Lite for the store, then finish the first update candidate for WordTrix.

Again, thanks for the support

Two more quick ones:

- At the moment you have to touch your finger to the screen every time a block comes into view. Could you add an option so that I can keep my finger on the screen all the time? That would be very handy in the later stages where it gets very hard to lift and drop your finger at exactly the right moment, because the time between its appearance and hitting the ground is very short.

- I carefully layed out the word 'DEFEAT' and it only scored me for 'FEAT' I know the dictionary checking is what was giving you performance issues, but I think you should at least have six letter words. The screen is eight wide!

It's a very addictive game.
