Super-Fun word game

Challenging but fun ! Love the graphics - some beautiful and entertaining

Save issue

This app is clever and fun, if a bit lacking in polish at the moment. It is therefore unfortunate that I appear to have completely lost my save data upon completion of the (first?) map. I look forward to this getting a little more attention - there’s a lot of good stuff here.

Favourite game currently

I love this game and play it almost every day. It goes beyond a typical word game by genuinely challenging how you think. The art style is beautiful and really stands out.
