As you play, more tiles rise from the bottom of the screen! It'll take all of your lexicological wits, and tactical know-how to keep your columns down. If any letters make it to the top row, it's game over. Classic modes Daily Tower, Tower, Puzzle, Rush and Zen are all back and packed with brand new BONUS TILES that double (or more!) word values. Joining them is the brand new Search mode, plus ExPuzzle, Double Puzzle, Bubble Puzzle, and Blitz mode! That’s eleven modes in all! Plus iCloud Backup, Highscores reported for games even while in-progress, detailed statistics for every mode, Game Center leaderboards, and achievements. ————————— It’s pretty wild to be revisiting my first hit game, SpellTower. I can't believe it's almost 10 years since it released. The first iPhones it ran on had a 3.5 inch screen and 320 x 480 resolution! I literally did a double-take at that resolution when I looked it up. A funny part about having a hit game is people talk to you about it. With SpellTower I heard about grandparents playing the game every morning to keep their minds sharp, parents playing it with their kids, expectant mothers playing it to get through morning sickness, and countless sightings of strangers playing it on subways, planes — even elevators. I got into games because I wanted to connect with people in a positive way. I wanted to help people think critically and come away with more than they arrived with. Games felt like a way to do this on a huge scale, but the stories I heard from SpellTower players taught me that games do so much more for people than I ever expected. I’m deeply grateful that SpellTower has been able to be something special for so many people, and I think that’s why so many people have shared it with friends, loved ones, and strangers on elevators. Even though SpellTower is a game I made, it’s really barely mine anymore. The experiences and love I had for the game has been outstripped by its audiences a thousandfold. I thought a lot about all the experiences that people have had with the game when I was designing this new version. I hope it gives everyone who’s loved the game a reason to pick it back up again and share it amongst their friends and family. -zach Information Seller:Zach Gage Genre:Puzzle, Word Release:Jan 30, 2020 Updated:Oct 01, 2021 Version:1.0.22 Size:138.1 MB TouchArcade Rating:Unrated User Rating:Unrated Your Rating:unrated Compatibility:HD Universal Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel macplash Well-Known Member Apr 17, 2014 2,645 1,103 113 Male 3D artist Munich, Germany #2 macplash, Jan 29, 2020 Last edited: Jan 29, 2020 WHAAAT?

Original Spelltower is one of my favorite word games (next to - or right after Highrise Heroes tbh) and yet, I like the new improved version even more. Very well done.

Unordinary Well-Known Member May 15, 2018 164 62 28 Amsterdam #13 Unordinary, Feb 1, 2020 It is really satisfying now that the game just got released to challenge the a.i. for words that “don’t exist” i got a couple so far, the longest one was shaolin.

It also doesn't seem to be in colins, and merriam-webster lists it only as a dialectical equivalent of should, which isn't good enough for me. badmanj Well-Known Member Mar 16, 2009 1,884 24 38 Software developer Reading, England http://www.underground-collective.com #17 badmanj, Feb 3, 2020 Well I thought 'SUD' was the singular of 'SUDS' as in 'SOAP SUDS'.
