A unique intelligent word game and avalanche of fun combined... You have angered the mountain and guess what? It is sending avalanches of letters to bury you! Boulders tumbling, rolling and ricocheting off one another. You need to spell your way out!
Break boulders by spelling out words before they can block your escape. Watch your head when the molten boulders appear or use them to your advantage, these hard hitters blow out their surroundings, creating huge gaps.
Rich 3D graphics and awesome physics add an element of beauty to the game. Use the physics to your advantage by getting molten boulders in the perfect spot to earn huge points. This is not your normal word game. We added strategy to an already fun genre of game by giving it a nice twist and a punch of physics.
As time goes by the mountainside seems to shake more and more, dislodging boulders faster and faster. Anger the mountain by clearing the level before the clock signals the second wave. You get tons of points but the mountain reacts by speeding up to the next round. Another way to anger the mountain is to prove how smart you are by earning a point score goal. Each word created earns you points. More complex words earn you a better score. While spelling words in quick secession earns you even higher scores. Magma boulders earn huge scores, rewarding you for the point scores of the surrounding letters.
Latest reviews of Word Avalanche app for iPhone and iPad
I like that the letters dont have to be touching. Too many pop-up ads that you end up shutting the app down to get rid of in the free version. I thought we had the paid version but am not sure how to restore it to a 2nd device.
When we fail at level 20 plus, it would be much less frustrating to start up at again say level 15 instead of level 1each time. Other than that, I enjoy the game
I tried the free version but it is not playable because the ads obstruct the letters. The paid version doesnt have that problem. The odd thing about this game is that it doesnt keep a record of your scores. All you see is your best game ever and how you rank worldwide. Id like to see how each game compares to my past games. There is abug that really needs to be fixed. It is very difficult to select letters in certain areas. For example, it is difficult to select a letter in the lower left corner. I have had to give up trying to select letters because the multiple attempts cost too much time. This bug alone keeps this from being a four or five star game. You are limited to using words that are three, four, five or six letters. The three letter minimum doesnt bother me but the six letter limit does. It would be nice to be able to use longer words. I frequently have words that are seven or eight letters that Id like to use. Overall, the game is worth $2. It is still a better value than paying an outrageous amount of money to go to movie or some other form of entertainment.
Moves fast and stays challenging
