![]() ![]() Daily Search is a new puzzle each day in the Search format, so you can compete with other people for leaderboard scores.ĭouble Puzzle is like the standard Puzzle, but adds two lines of tiles after each word instead of one. Search involves creating the best word possible with the star letter in the center - this word is the only word that counts, so everything else that you spell won't get points, but you can use it to try and create a great word with the star tile. ![]() But on top of that, there are five new modes to enjoy: Search, Daily Search, Double Puzzle, Bubble Puzzle, and Blitz. While SpellTower+ seems to have gotten rid of the Super Tower Mode, the rest of the original modes are still available. Its simplicity is precisely what makes it so beguiling.SpellTower+ Game mode menu (Image credit: iMore) I've played many word puzzle games but this is by far one of the best in recent years. Other letters emerge with a number next to them, symbolising how long a word must be to use the letter.Īll these little factors make the difference to ensuring that SpellTower is an extremely addictive title. Blue colored tiles emerge which, once used, can clear an entire row by themselves. The longer that each of these game modes go on for, the more involving the experience becomes. For the speed fiend, Rush Mode adds new rows over time but the concept is ultimately the same. Once 2,000 points have been accumulated, Ex Puzzle Mode is then unlocked and things become even harder. A certain amount of strategy is required in order to keep the rows suitably low and thus remain in the game for longer. Once a letter hits the top of the screen, it's game over. ![]() Each time the player makes a word, an extra row of letters is added. This is the ideal time to move onto Puzzle Mode in which smart moves are vital for success. It's not long before I found myself setting up 7 or 8 letter words, gradually feeling my vocabulary increase by the minute. At first, it's all too easy to fall into the trap of setting up numerous 3 letter words rather than anything more adventurous. ![]() It's a relaxing and appropriate way to start the player off gently. Supplying the player with 150 letters, the game simply asks that the player gains as many points as possible from the selection. The easiest mode, and best one to start with, is that of Tower Mode. Upon completion of the tutorial, four modes gradually unlock as certain, relatively easy goals are completed. As long as tiles rest next to each other in some fashion, they are fair game to use to formulate words. All the player has to do is find a word somewhere in the 10x15 grid and swipe their finger across it to score points. The tutorial promises to take less than a minute to play and it's right. Complicated features are rarely needed in quality cerebral games and this is no different. Like so many great word games, SpellTower is immensely simple to play. Be warned, this genuinely happened on more than one occasion as I played SpellTower. The kind of game that turns five minutes into a good hour or more with the player only noticing where time went because the iPad has warned that it's running low on battery power. ![]()
