Make the words fast enough or he'll fall to his doom! Some Quick Playing Tips - If you don't like the letters, use the Swap Tiles button at the top of the screen to get new ones. - Once you have created enough platforms for the runner to get to the other side, you can keep making words to bump up your score. - When the runner lands on the last platform you'll be warned. Make a word fast or use one of your swap tokens to get new letters *and* two extra platforms to give you some breathing room. - The runner gets faster at level 5 and again at level 10. Because, challenge.

I really enjoy word games. The concept of a word-runner hybrid sounded fascinating. The game is cute and fun. Watching video ads for extra swap tokens seemed very reasonable to me. I felt like there needed to be more randomization among the letters. Overall, good word game. I have only one suggestion. During play time, maybe the music should be a little faster. I feel like; for a game that requires speed, the music is too relaxing. Good luck! J. A. Whye Well-Known Member Sep 26, 2010 45 0 6 Game Dev (tools & tutorials) Alaska #3 J. A. Whye, Aug 12, 2015 Thanks for playing the game, Lavender. The first three levels use "letter sets" that are known to have many possible smaller words. After you reach Level 4 all letters are randomized afterwards (even Levels 1-3). The letters are chosen this way: - Two random vowels - Five random letters from a list (including vowels) that's weighted to show fewer "hard" letters. I kind of expected that I'll need to continue tweaking the letter picking algorithm, so your comment makes me think I'll do that sooner rather than later. I was going for an "intense" feel for the music, but I can see where a faster tempo might be better at inciting panic. I've also been thinking of adding "skins" as optional IAP that would give you different look *and* audio for each one. Thanks for your feedback! Jay (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
