Publisher Tilting Point is bringing Languinis out worldwide this Thursday, May 14th, after a soft launch in countries like Canada. The game is a combination of match-3 puzzlers and word games, where you’ll be making color matches to uncover word tiles, and then forming words from the letters that are uncovered. Seems a bit like Puzzlejuice ($1.99) but with more of a Bejweled (Free) twist rather than Tetris ($1.99). Also, you can form words from any tiles, rather than having to link adjacent ones together. Seems like an interesting mix!
This one’s been available in Canada, though a final released version will make its way out this Thursday worldwide. It’ll be interesting to see just how this mix of word and puzzle game plays out – it is an established mixture, but even as we saw from Spelltower ($2.99) compared to Puzzlejuice, two games working from a similar origin point, you can get radically-different experiences from similar ideas.
