"A unique treat among the sea of word games" -- AppAdvice.com "This easy-to-use and highly addictive word game is a must have! -- FanAppic.com "Finally! For the avid word connoisseur - iVolution. Not your average Ho-Hum word game!" -- PaperDesk tweet From the husband and wife team that created “Chain of Thought” and “RhymieStymie” comes “iVolution – the evolving word game!” iVolution is easy to pick up but hard to put down. You start with a 2 letter word seed like “AN” and use it to build a word like “FANTASTIC.” Then you select 2 letters from your word, and those letters become the next word seed for your opponent. The words keep evolving, back and forth, a piece of your word becoming part of your opponent's word, then a piece of their word becoming part of your next word. iVolution is incredibly simple yet incredibly addicting. You can play solo against computer opponents or challenge your friends to a word showdown with the online play modes! So what are you waiting for? It's time to join the revolution in word evolution! *7 different power-ups *2 single player modes *2 "Pass ‘n Play" modes *2 turn-based multiplayer online modes so you can challenge your friends anywhere, anytime! *Tons of achievements to earn *Multiple leaderboards so you can compare your scores with the world *Help videos to get you quickly playing like a pro We really hope you enjoy our new game.
