Filing Cabinet Well-Known Member Aug 20, 2011 997 0 16 #3 Filing Cabinet, Apr 19, 2012 definitely grabbing this one, i had put off buying it as i had too many games to go through, but since it's only a buck now.. Joshnsuch Well-Known Member Sep 29, 2009 840 0 0 Louisville #4 Joshnsuch, Apr 19, 2012 Getting it now! indalico Well-Known Member Aug 25, 2011 660 0 16 ohio #5 indalico, Apr 19, 2012 I finally picked this game up. The video really sold it for me. mrsamsa Well-Known Member Aug 28, 2011 55 0 0 Alberta #6 mrsamsa, Apr 19, 2012 It's dungeon raid with words. It's so pretty, the design is fantastic! crunc Well-Known Member Aug 11, 2008 4,575 0 0 #7 crunc, Apr 19, 2012 I grabbed it while on sale and, yes, it's fun and worth a buck. I see that the iPhone and iPad scoreboards seem to be separate. Is that because it plays with a grid with more letters on the iPad? I haven't tried it on there yet. On the iPhone the drag to select a word technique is tricky, but tapping each letter works well for the most part. Fun game. It's not really like dungeon raid, because letters don't fill the entire grid from the top, rather you get single rows coming up from the bottom (or none at all in the first game mode). mrsamsa Well-Known Member Aug 28, 2011 55 0 0 Alberta #8 mrsamsa, Apr 19, 2012 That's a fair point, but it was the only accurate comparison I could think of, as it uses the same linedrawing method as DR, as opposed to being like tetris or match 3. awp69 Well-Known Member Oct 30, 2009 8,249 0 36 Greenville, SC #9 awp69, Apr 19, 2012 I've seen this, but haven't paid a whole lot of attention to it. Perhaps that's because the screenshots remind me a lot of Puzzlejuice. Is it that much different? Better? LOLavi Well-Known Member May 23, 2011 8,364 0 0 iPhone gamer Finland #10 LOLavi, Apr 20, 2012 Well I have both now and I think its better but I haven't played enough to test the difficulty which was very high on PJ. princestrong Member Dec 10, 2011 13 0 0 #11 princestrong, Apr 26, 2012 i wish there was an "easy mode". like rush mode but no time pressure (or minimal). for people like me who just want to play the game without having to think hard haha.. and no not like tower mode.. cos that's limited (You must log in or sign up to post here.)

Well I have both now and I think its better but I haven't played enough to test the difficulty which was very high on PJ.
