Words Collide

i don't usually leave reviews for things i download, as of course, they're usually just time killers i dont think twice about. but for the first time in a while, i've found a game addictive here. the lack of ads, the very rewarding points and level system, coins seem to pay out enough for you to be comfortable, upgrades feel truly substantial and allow freedom in how each player takes their ability from 0-100. i ended up addicted to word games recently, but even moreso this one.

It's so, so good. I'm not a big fan of word games, but this is an exception. It has such a cool system, allowing word combos and such. The sound and visual design is crisp and clean, and the idea of a cooperative word game is a completely new take on the genre (As far as I know.). My only critique is that it is somewhat difficult to get exp in single player, but that is probably intentional, to encourage online play with others.

It was a good and addictive game when I first started playing it, but then I realized that the cascade mechanism is broken. It doesn't matter how long the words you make are, you'll never get the same amount of points and XP you get from making cascades. The game for me became more about making cascades than trying to form long words and this killed the fun for me, because it should be more satisfying and rewarding to form long words. Also, the game crashes and glitches a lot.
