Textropolis

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.
