Words 'n' Blox

Greenlit Games AS

Are you a fan of doing crosswords and word finds, well, get ready for a game that has almost nothing in common with those other then the english language with Words 'n' Blox. The irony of a word game that refuses to use proper spelling in it's title is not lost on me.

Using the basic physics of sliding scrabble pieces, Words 'n' Blox makes you move lettered tiles around a colorfully plotted garden until you adjoin it with it's brethren to form a correctly formed word. There are some stipulations, they are looking for a particular word, not just any proper word that you can spell, this is usually intuitive based on the placement of the tiles at the beginning of each level (i.e. C-A-T is CAT, not ACT). The swiping action does seem prone to the accidental ad tap as well.

In the end you have a fairly simple word game that doesn't take a long time to master, throw in the simplicity of the words, and you have a game that will bore you one level, then frustrate the crap out of you the next. Scoring is based on the number of moves you need to complete them, though the specifics of the star system elude me as it appears that you can make only 3 out of 4 stars when you make what appears to be a minimalist number of moves.

Recommendation: Don't bother, the landscapes in the game will remind you too much of the old Legend of Zelda games and you'll never keep your attention on the game long enough.
