If you are one of those crazy word game fans, and love to spend your precious time by playing these games and searching words then I have a game for you, that is absolutely going to blow your mind away. Textropolis is a basic word-finding game. You are presented with cities from around the world and have a goal of finding the hidden words that are in each of their names. Cities like Kingston and Amsterdam are just a few of the over 30 cities with nine-letter names that are featured in Textropolis. Take the city name, find as many words in it as you can, and grow your points (population). That is the goal of Textropolis, plain and simple. Textropolis starts you with just a single unlocked city, which has 95 four (or more) letter words hidden in its name. Just start to type out a word, hit submit, and grow your city. As you complete words, your city grows, and your population (score) increases. Each time you complete a word, its definition is pulled across the screen by a small animated plane. This is a nice little touch to the game, though some of the definitions are incorrect. After you find and submit, just 10% of the words you are given a new city, and can start playing over there. If you get stuck, Textropolis allows you to sacrifice 1000 people to get a hint. I wonder how that works morally. Textropolis has several things going from it. For starters, the simplicity of the game is exceptionally nice. I love it when I can just get into a game, no pressure, no stress. The lack of a time clock, or any of the other usual suspects in word games, makes this game nice to play. The fact that I can play for as short or long as possible also makes the game nice. The interface, which is simply touching letters, is well done and makes Textropolis one of the better word games currently out for the iPod. Honestly, there are hardly any games that are as well thought of as this one, a fact that promises to keep you busy for a while.
Glyph has the basic concept of most Bejeweled style games. Match three or more like colors to remove the pieces from the board. What Glyph has going for it is variety of gameplay andlongevity. The main campaign of Glyph consists of 200 stages. Yes, 200 stages that attempt to tell the story of Kuros and how discovering glyphs can save the world. The story itself isn’t exactly mind blowing, but we’re not here for the storytelling, we want to match some colored pieces. The main quest in Glyph requires you to break away rock located behind the colored pieces to reveal a glyph. To break away rock just match at least three like colors. The rock won’t fully break with a single match, it requires a couple of color matches to fully reveal the glyph behind the rock. Sometimes a piece is crossed out on the left side of your screen. These pieces are still used in the game but the piece is unable to break away any rock when it is matched. In the quest, you aren’t required to reveal the entire space behind the pieces, just reveal the glyph to finish the stage. The further you progress into the game, the more variety of color pieces that are on the screen at a time. Power-ups can be gained by matching multiples of like pieces. The more pieces you match at a time, the quicker you gain power ups. They start weak but can become powerful. For example, let’s say you have a power-up of “color spread.” It starts out weak so if you use it right away your color won’t spread very far. The longer you wait to use it and the more pieces you match the more powerful it becomes. If it reaches the maximum spread, the entire map can be turned to the color of your choice. A wide variety of power-ups exist which are chosen at random, so use them wisely. In arcade mode, you must not allow the pieces to reach the top. Keep matching and removing pieces as quickly as you can to avoid losing a life. All in all, if you have some spare time in your hands, then you should definitely try playing this game.

It is always interesting to see animals with human characters. Bearing that in mind I present to you Fortune Panda, a cute little Panda that somehow becomes more and more greedy. So get ready to have a fun tilting experience while piling up the cha-chinggg! In Fortune Panda you take control of Fortune Panda, the panda and try to collect as many falling gold and silver coins as you can while avoiding harmful items that can potentially make you start the game over.The gameplay takes place in a horizontal environment with the panda’s right and left movement being controlled. To do so, all you have to do it tilt your device in the direction that you desire to move in and the panda will move there. You can also jump to collect coins, and this is done by tapping the screen and holding it for a higher jump.The coins fall from the top of the screen which, in the game, is the sky and they will come down in waves. You most definitely will not be able to collect all of the ones that are falling, so there is no penalty for letting them hit the ground. Instead of this penalization, the game automatically ends when you make contact with any of the harmful objects such as bombs, lobsters, frogs and even a full size truck! All that is up to you is to collect as many power ups as you can and open your eyes widely for some harmful items. Anyway, enough talking, download this game and see for yourself.
If you are a fan of the 80’s puzzle games, then you are going to absolutely adore this one. Wriggle is a cute puzzle game, where your soul goal is to set free a little blue worm with as less moves as possible. The gameplay is easy, you can easily undo a wrong move, or jump from puzzle to puzzle whenever you feel like it. The graphics are simple, colorful and extremely charming. Everything from the menus, the puzzle navigation panel even to the display of earned achievements fits this theme. The music and the game’s sound effects are as charming as the graphics. But if you don’t like what the game has to offer, you can simply turn of the sound and listen to something of your own liking. There are achievements if you complete a puzzle with a gold or silver medal. These achievements are displayed in a trophy rack area from where you can see exactly what you have earned up that moment, and what lies ahead of you in the near future.The puzzles are another area that give a huge plus to this game. Needless to say that the difficulty level increases as you make you progress through the game. You must solve at least 50 % of the current difficulty’s puzzles so you can move forward to the next one, and so on. This is a great idea, and it gives a constant challenge to this game. Variety between the puzzles is another standout. At each level of difficulty you face a wide range of varieties of puzzle layouts. Some of them have four different worms, while others have two, or maybe three, and others may have only one worm. Even though they are rather similar in their appearance, here you learn that looks can be deceiving in the sense that these puzzles can really have you stumped if you are aiming for the gold medal. Since the rules and the gameplay are familiar there is nothing left to do but to download this game and see what it’s made off.
With the dozens beyond dozens of video game genres that exist in the industry, it’s never easy to distinguish which ones are the most fun, easiest or most challenging. But certainly one that requires extreme patience and 20/20 vision is the seek-and-find genre. And Yard Sale not only combines challenging seek-and-find puzzles, but the ability for you to spruce up your new virtual home in Sunnyville by snatching up items at neighborhood (yard) sales from interesting and animated characters. This is a timed event, where too many wrong taps on the screen results in a dockage of time, hurting your score in the long run. Pace yourself through 12 graphic-filled locations and 16 repurposing projects, such as spray painting old, antique items that just need a little touch up, turning trash into treasure. When zooming in on scenery during yard sales, objects tend to be blurry and unrecognizable and when tapping on the screen to zoom in, you might see yourself being registered for unadvised taps. So put on your glasses, sharpen your eyes and get searching for the items you need. Try not to miss anything.
