Love word games? Then Volcano is the game for you. Come to build words in a remote tropical jungle, but be careful not to awaken the volcano! How to play? - Draw lines between the letters to form words and earn points (any direction works). - Each letter in the word has a score. Longer words are worth more points. - Use green letters—they are worth more than regular letters. - Struggling to find a word? Shuffle the board to get new letters. Watch out for hot letters! - A hot letter will melt the letter beneath it at the end of each turn. - To get rid of a hot letter, form a word with it that has at least 3 letters. - If the letter reaches the bottom of the board, you have 10 seconds to form a word with it, or the game ends! What else? - Compete against thousands of players and earn your spot on the leaderboard. - Dozens of achievements to brag about. - View your progress in the game. - Improve your vocabulary in 6 different languages. - The game is available in English, Russian, German, Hebrew, Swedish, and Danish (more languages coming soon). Recommended to play with headphones. Terms of use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
