About Tower Words


Tower Words is a game in which you have to type words that fit the requested categories, before the letters reach the top of the screen. The letters fall continuously, forming a tower of letters. Destroy this tower by writing words. An unusual mix of Tetris, categories game and word search.

    Some letters have other functions besides forming words:
  • Bomb letter - When used in any word, destroys the letters around the bomb
  • Frozen letter- Use more than once to clear it (thaw)
  • Virus letter - Infects the surrounding letters
  • Weight letter- When used in any word, it crushes all the letters that were below it
  • Dark letter - Try to remember the letter. Challenge your memory.
  • Clock Letter - Use it quickly before time runs out

Features
  • Educational: train your English vocabulary
  • 20 different word categories
  • Different types of obstacles
  • Earn points by writing new words
  • Unlock achievements
  • Two game modes: Classic and Endless
  • Simple mechanics: use mouse or keyboard to play

    Tower Words is a mixture between Tetris and a word solving puzzle game. Stack letter tiles on top of each other and make words related to the given categories. The longer the word the more points you'll earn. You win by filling up all the categories given to you. Once your screen is filled up to the top with tiles its game over. The tiles move down rapidly, which makes it super intense and challenging! It would have been nice if you started off slow and that it got faster as you progress. I would also appreciate a retry button instead of needing to wait till the screen is filled with tiles. The concept of the game is interesting and I normally really enjoy games like this! However, the execution was done poorly. When you make a word you need to click the tiles and enter. There is a keyboard mode where you type out the word, but it often selects tiles you didn't want to use and you still need to click it yourself and deselect the ones the game selected for you. Why doesn't the game just recognize the words automatically anyway? Sorry for sounding so negative or ungrateful since I received this game for free, but I find honesty very important! I can't recommend the game at th…

    The most stressful word game ever. I do wish it would give you a list of the words it was looking for... In the category "House Stuff", plant, steps and stairs did not work.

    Fun game for me once I found I could type instead of using only the mouse, as it made it much easier for me speed-wise. Well done. Will be playing Endless Mode for some time. Hope to see more like this.

    Good idea, but not particularly good implementation. The punishment (spawning a whole row of unusable special characters that can only be destroyed with bombs) for entering a letter that's not there, or entering a word that's not in the dictionary (e.g. tan isn't considered a color) is too harsh and totally screws up an endless run if something were to go awry with it, as it often does. Another thing that happens is that in campaign mode, the letters for the word category it wants often fall in order, so the first letters you'd get would be something like RENGE, which creates the word GREEN, and then the same thing happens for the next category. Additionally, endless mode would be better with two separate modes, one with the word prompts and one without (just enter any word and get bonus points for word length). A fast forward drop button would be decent too, to speed up letters in campaign mode. This game looked very promising on initial glance, but definitely needs some work to reach its full potential.

    The alphabets falling from the top of the screen and you have to make a word based from the given category in each level. Some levels have bombs which can explode the surrounding tiles if you use the alphabet with the bomb. There is a virus with an alphabet and if you are not fast enough using the virus alphabet, it will keep spreading around with the same alphabet. The challenging part of this game is you have to make a word based on the categories and not whatever you want. And additional to that challenge, the game has limited vocabularies which can be quite frustrated to play the game. "Eraser" is not part of "School Supplies" category, "Grandfather" is acceptable but not "Grandpa", "Soldier" and 'Magician" are not part of "Occupations" category, "Kiwi" is not part of "Fruit" category, "America" is not part of "Country" and etc. I think It will be more enjoyable if it has wider vocabularies.
