  • Love it but needs some stats

    Does the game keeps stats anywhere? That seems like a key feature that’s missing from an otherwise nearly perfect game.

    Developer Response

    The only stats are in Extras > Share, where you can see your high score and the score from your previous game. I hear your request for more. Thanks for playing!
  • Addicting

    It’s really a wonderfully addicting app. I have two suggestions for the developer (and these really are nits I’m picking):
    1. It isn’t obvious or apparent when you are getting a double score for a word; maybe the background of the “board” could change color to denote this?
    2. The high score isn’t shown anywhere, except when you get a score “close” to it.

    Your high score is shown in Extras > Share. This might not be the most obvious place, but it does make it convenient for boasting to friends. Maybe I'll add a more complete stats page in the future.
  • Very fun, one bug and some requests

    This is a great, fast-paced word game for those who enjoy Scrabble, Boggle, Bananagrams or similar (and works great solo). The expanded lexicon is an interesting twist for those who have gotten used to more narrow ones from other games.

    I did encounter an issue where, after using earbuds once with the game, I now can’t get audio at all.

    Also, I wish it had more stats about your best words, your biggest “missed opportunities,” maybe some other tendencies that you have, etc.

    Those might be nice additions in the future, but even as it stands it’s well worth the $2 for anyone who loves word games.

    If you're willing to provide more information, I'll try to understand what's preventing audio from working for you. Send email to upgameshq@gmail.com so we can chat. Thanks for playing!
  • Attention to detail

    This game scratches the itch. Details abound, no surprise given the developer. No in app purchases mean you pay once and enjoy the game forever. Kudos, this gane is done right.
  • Fun game but I think the duel feature can be improved

    Right now I ask someone to duel, play, and then... nothing? I have to share my score again to compare? If I forget to share immediately after the game and switch to another app (messages, for example) the score goes away? I’d rather play solo for a bit and wait for that feature to be smoothed out.
  • Holy cow! Fun, fast and short

    This game immediately became my “have 5 mins to kill” alternative to doomscrolling or other online activities. The perfect blend of quick game, with brain usage and can be close to done at any moment when the queue in front of you at the grocery opens up again!
  • Polished, simple and great fun.

    Terrific little game. Nicely priced.
  • Amiable; want a bit more

    Amiable time waster. Wish you could turn tunes off entirely. I wish it had a personal high scores board (with comments allowed). It would be nice to have a non-timer version ie “How many words can you form from these n sets of letters?”
  • Excellent!

    A very well-done game, simple, fun and addictive. I’d love to see some more interaction in the duel feature - displaying the real-time scores of your opponents would add to the excitement.
  • Fun!

    Would appreciate proper iPad support!
