Leave a Review Words Cubed
Update dictionary
The unique concept is overshadowed by some missed opportunities that will hopefully improve over time, but it has a lot of potential if the developer doesn't abandon it.
As with most games of this type, finding extra words that aren't part of the main level gives you coins, but some of the words in the main levels are a little unusual (one of the first levels made you find the word DACE, but words like CARE, CARD, and RACE were all bonus words). It also did not recognize the word DOES on a different level. It's also pretty limiting that you cannot find any 5- or 6-letter words (though I understand there are drawbacks to adding them), and the randomness of guessing about 25 other actual words just to find the one weird word it's looking for becomes tedious over time.
Additionally, the time limit in the "play timed" mode is a little excessive; it would be nice if there were shorter versions (2 minutes or 5 minutes for example instead of 10 minutes).
I'm sure more words will be added to the dictionary as time goes by, and the concept alone gives this game a lot of potential...but without additions or updates that keep gameplay fresh and exciting, this may end up becoming just another forgettable word game.
I hope it becomes more than that; there are enough forgettable word games out there already, so I'd like to be able to enjoy one whose quality surpasses its competition. I'll be on the lookout for updates with this game and hopefully update my review soon too.Show lessRST258
Developer Response
Hello RST258, Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed review! I appreciate the feedback. I will add "DOES" into the dictionary for the 1.0.3 update. I knew some words would be missed, but I will add any appropriate words left in feedback into the word list. I will take a look at the timed mode and check the timer value, as for the 5- or 6- letter words in timed and levels mode I will explain how I created it: In levels mode, the game starts with 3- to 4- letter words then as the player progresses and the difficulty goes up, the 5- and 6- letter word availabilities start to appear. The bonus words are there for hints and to earn coins to unlock different backgrounds in the in-game shop. The timed mode starts similar to levels but increases with difficulty faster adding longer words as time goes on based on how many words are found. One note on the levels mode though, every level number uses it's own set of the same letters, but every players game has different "required" words. This is to create a unique experience for every player but still "create" the same levels. This is only for the levels mode though. This is why "DACE" can be required but "RACE" or "CARE" may not be. I wanted to create a mode where the player had to find words but not all the words and not punish them to do so. I came up with this mode to have them find "most" of the words, and any bonus words found would be added as a reward in the form of coins, which could be used for new shop items or hints if the player was really stumped. Again thank you for taking the time to play my game and write your review!EXCEPTIONAL!
I’m not a game person but when I ran across this game it caught my eye so I purchased it thinking “what the heck, I’ll give it a try.” As I started playing I was hooked!HisLovey
