(Note: This new menu is not shown in this very old trailer below. Additionally, the menu system has been tweaked a bit which comes with the added benefit of greatly reducing (if not eliminating) lag between switching in between the menu and the game. To encourage competition, there’s a bunch of different awards you can earn depending on where you stack up against the rest of the players in that game as well as a few other statistics like your lifetime average score and other interesting tidbits for long-time players of the game. 'SpellTower is an extraordinary word game that deserves a place among the best of the genre. Its concept was pretty simple: Mix the word searching mechanics of Boggle with the block.
SPELLTOWER CONTRIBUTION UPDATE
Today’s update introduces a daily Tower, where each player plays with the exact same set of letters, allowing folks to directly face off for the highest score with a specific set of blocks on a specific day. Zach Gage’s original SpellTower launched almost a decade ago, back in November of 2011. Cryptogram, SpellTower and a host of other word scramble games. According to Zach, people were always asking him what a “good" score was in Tower mode, which was always sort of difficult to say because it’s a totally random game mode. place ones stake (poker) the initial contribution that each player makes to the pot. This update goes in the complete opposite direction with additions to the Tower game mode (which I always saw as the “core" mode of SpellTower). So, in the previous update, SpellTower got Zen Mode, which is basically the core game but with anything that’d stress you out removed.
I suppose it makes sense, as you’d be hard pressed to find something more universally appealing than a really good word game, eh? Anyway, SpellTower is the latest game by Zach Gage to get a big ol’ update. Additionally, SpellTower seems to have an oddly diverse fanbase, which has always been a pretty cool thing in my eyes. It’s a simple word search game, like most of Gage’s stuff, that is just executed to a point of absolute perfection. If you ever see a list of the best word games on the App Store that doesn’t include Zach Gage’s SpellTower ($2.99), there’s something wrong.
