Improvements to background stars image performance.
I really appreciate that it’s a fair premium price with no ads or IAP, and that the developer has kept it updated for over a decade. I applaud developers who do it all right like this. So rare nowadays. I found it randomly, so glad I did. The file size is small. It’s good on battery, and everything is very smooth. And I like the different modes giving you different choices how to play. So if all you have time for is a super quick game, you can do that, but if you want something slower and relaxing there’s that too. It’s more challenging than I thought it would be, but it’s doable and enjoyable. I highly recommend this game. Thank you developer!
Just love this- it has become my go-to word game. I dislike the timed “reach the edge” option, but I play the go-at-your-own-pace version every day. I love the names of the levels. I love the stats. I love everything about it. Trying to crack 20,000 points, but it’s a beast, which I also- you guessed it- love. My only problem is that I have started seeing glowing green letters behind my eyes at night. You developers are wonderful, lovable, evil geniuses. My best word? Crotched- for over 2500 points. Crotched. Ahah ahaha. Love.
it is fun, relaxing and challenging, and so far my best word is ‘shatterers’ for 3,510 points! I do play this a lot, was looking for a game like Spell Collapse, which is not available anymore. Found this, and like it very much, but i do have a problem with it. Sometimes I can leave the game if I have to, and my game is still waiting for me later when I go back to play it- i just click on ‘resume game’ and there it is as I left it. Other times, i go back to pick up where I left off, and my game is gone, and I have to start over again, which I hate because often I had awesome words with a lot of points! So that is why I am giving it only 4 points. Other than that one complaint, I think this is a great game!
The game play is a solid idea, love the theme, love the music. But there are multiple problems that negatively affect the game’s playability. 1) There needs to be a way to zoom out to see more of the board to be able to strategize your plays. 2) When you move the board around using the “empty spot”, the game easily allows your empty spot off the edge of the screen and without it you lose the ability to move the board or play a turn. You’re forced to forfeit and restart. It would help to have a “recenter screen” button, maybe, it could be on the pause screen. 3) The letter tiles are too often big blocks of consonants that can’t be played. And it gets tiring to constantly have to make words out of nothing but Ws, Js, Zs, and Cs. It stops being fun pretty quick. 4) Maybe it would be better to play words by tapping each individual letter and submitting by double tapping the final letter; when you’re dragging your finger across the screen it can be difficult to see around your finger to the word you’re trying to make. Then maybe we could zoom in and out as usual.
But as others have said, it’s frustrating that the tiles requiring a certain number of letters for a word are often impossible to play. I want a challenge but if it’s rarely even possible to play long words then it becomes aggravating And my finger blocks seeing what I’m doing. And why oh why does the app simply throw the game out the window when you have to go to another application. That’s dumb. Come on!!! ** I upped it one star cause it is fun. More fun in Discovery mode, but would be so much more interesting and challenging with more and longer word possibilities.
I only started today and already I'm addicted! I love a game that makes me think! I really like that you can play in timed mode and that you can also play in relaxed, untimed mode whenever it suits you. I love challenging myself to better my time, length and number of words. I like that you can play 30-second games as well when you have just a little pocket of time. I've already upgraded for $1.99. Two thumbs WAY up from me!👍🏼👍🏼 This game is a keeper.
You know those times when you just can't think of a word, but it's right there on the top of your tongue? That's Hexiled in a nutshell. The first levels move along swiftly, then you start getting stuck. Don't get tricked into thinking that the first direction you head is the right direction. Be open to change, even if it looks like you're backtracking. Chin up and carry on!
Overall good concept, but it is exceedingly difficult to string together long words with any regularity. The reward system in the brain could use a little more.....well.....reward. With as many letters as there are you’d think you could just randomly luck up into a longer word from time to time. Not so much. Was interesting for a bit, but I don’t need the frustration. You might like it if you’re more of a masochist than me. Just don’t ever expect to be able to spell out masochist within the puzzle.
