THIS GANE HELPS ME SPELL 4 LETTER WORDS

This is one of the best pixelated games I’ve seen and best of all when you use a distraction it plays tetris

Fun and Challenging!

This is a great game! I think there’s something really special here :)
This was a nice way to wake up and get my brain engaged for the day. I enjoyed the addition of a timer in later levels - it felt atmospheric and added to the challenge of the game without feeling unfair or out of place.
If I have one complaint, it’s that the Free Shipping upgrade makes the game feel too easy - I was able to spam hints without worry.
Fantastic work! Really excited to see more from this dev :)

How to play?

I have no ideas what I’m doing

It’s okay.

-⭐️ for graphics. Could’ve gone for something a bit more visual.

- ⭐️ for gameplay. A restart button would be nice so one could skip the first three or four tutorial levels of the story

Fantastic

A great and well developed experience that easily has a ton of replay-ability.

What.

I’m not usually one to write reviews but this feels deserved. This is the most fun I’ve had with a random mobile game in a while. It’s also pretty challenging! It’s not insanely hard to beat though. There are ads but not so often that it takes away from what you’re doing. It’s not overbearing like most games are. The story is fun and even nostalgic at times. Overall, I’d give it seven stars if I could. I absolutely loved it. I’m gonna go start over now. Byeeeeeeeeee.

Cool game. I like it.

Randomly came across this cool little game, never heard of it before but it sounded interesting so I gave it a shot. Glad I did as it’s quite entertaining. An excellent example of how the AppStore needs to be improved. So many quality games you might never find.

Simple concept executed well

Such a great little game! Just the right amount of adjustable challenge. Very fun!

Fun word game until they slap a timer on it.

Played the game for a bit. Had a great time with it. Fun little word game. Interesting puzzles that see you trying to get from one word to another changing a single letter at a time while dodging specific words in between the start and end word.

And then the devs thought it'd be a great idea to slap a (very short) timer on the puzzle. Letting the timer expire DRAMATICALLY ups the difficulty and will VERY quickly lead to a game over. What was a fun, interesting puzzle quickly became a frustrating and stressful race against the clock. I uninstalled shortly afterwards. Unfortunate.

But if you're the sort that isn't phased by a timer and does well with words under pressure, then I can't recommend this game enough. That's just not me, sadly.

Clever word game.

This free game has clever word-based mechanics and nice atmosphere. Change one letter each turn to reach the goal, but avoid enemy words. Nice story mode.

Why? Just Why?

I played the game for a few minutes and I was popping off and then when I was trying to get the package that was lack and the zombie was sack and I was back, after I changed the b to an l and got the package, THE ZOMBIE CHANGED ITS S TO A L AND HIT ME... I just wanted to make a review to complain about how terrible of a mechanic that is and how the zombies shouldn’t be able to change into whatever word you are currently and should only change to words that are similar

Too difficult

It’s really hard, please either nerf the levels or add something like easy mode, I can’t get past level 23 for my life

It’s great!!!

I think this game is really fun and energetic... but I would only give this game 5 stars if there were checkpoints. I’m pretty good at this game so it’s not like I need a checkpoint because it’s hard, the reason it’s needed is because it’s frustrating when you beat 21 levels and then you have to start over from the beginning.

Hidden gem!

This is the kind of weird genre combo I can get behind! Really unique concept and gameplay, that could maybe use a little more challenge (maybe a penalty/reward system for the amount of words you use?), but is still a five star game in my eyes based on creativity and execution alone.

In story mode, it eventually gets more challenging after level 20, but getting there feels like an super engaging brain-trainer, and I think anyone who enjoys word games will appreciate how different it is. I could also see this game being a fun exercise for non-native English speakers! It really has a lot of potential, and I’m gonna unlock the rest to see what endless mode is all about.

Another solid game, dev! Been playing Fire Ant Solitaire, and I enjoy that one too. I appreciate your creativity in genre mixing. Keep up the good work!

Edit: Having trouble buying the expansion from the settings menu. When I click “buy”, it gets stuck at “processing”. The App Store has been acting weird all morning, so maybe it’s on Apple’s end. Excited to support this game, hope it gets fixed soon :)

Great game, terrible ads

Just the worst adverts on the planet?? Really fun game, such a shame

Great!

It is a good puzzle game, And I can see how long it took to make this game! But whenever you die in story mode you have to restart. And you also have to pay for the other modes. But regardless this is still a great game! I recommend it! And I have recommendations for the game:
1) You should add checkpoints
2) There should be a button to restart a chapter (but you still keep the damage you took in that chapter)
3) You should add a button too change the difficulty (like easy, normal, hard and impossible)

Smart and well crafted

It’s a well designed, challenging game, with lots of nods to the zombie genre from someone who clearly knows about it.

Really unique

The best word puzzle game I’ve played in ages. Brilliant work

Needs work

I literally loved this game until I got to the timed portions. I absolutely loathe games that put you on a timer. I don’t mind more rules, more enemies or more challenges in getting from A to B but don’t put a timer on me or I lose interest. It takes all the strategy out of it and becomes something else. I read another reviewer on an app site who had the same complaint. Unfortunately I read the review after I got sick of the timer and decided to go play a word game that isn’t about speed but about strategy.

DONT RESTART LEVELS

EDIT: Just finished the game. I like it. If you have problems with the issue stated, pressing the home button and Force-Closing the app is the same as Restart, but you keep items.
It also helps with another thing ;€

Doing so removes any items you use for good.
As well as your progress.
You’ll basically restart the entire level with even less of a chance to pass. You’ll put yourself in a crutch until you end up in the hospital.

Seems like an oversight that needs fixing since it doesn’t make sense to lose items that happened in a past run which the game has erased.
