    IsoWords is a word search game wrapped onto a cube. Connect adjacent letters to form words (same old story), but the third time a letter is used its cube will be removed. This presents a novel finiteness to the word search genre.

    Features include:

    - Play for 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 minutes, or free play until the cube is completely gone.
    - Internal high score engine and statistics record lots of interesting information about your games.
    - Challenge a friend to beat your scores (of any game ever played, past or present) on Facebook, Twitter or through email.

    I'm not posting a video yet, but probably in the next few days.

    *UPDATE* I now have a video:


    I am also knee deep in the next iteration of this game, which will include Bluetooth multiplayer (with a variety of game types, ranging from vanilla "play at the same time and compare words after", to an intense all out battle for words), dictionaries for other languages + localizations, among other things.

    I removed these screenshots because they were old... newer ones below...

    I am the sole developer of this app, operating under my company Opetopic (pronounced ope-uh-tope-ick). If you want to follow IsoWords' progress, follow me on twitter @opetopic or visit my site www.opetopic.com, www.opetopic.com/isowords (bare bones right now).

    Thanks for reading.

    Looks like the sort of game I'm after. Bookworm simply looks too childish to me so this could easily be the solution :)

    If you want to embed the video in your original post:

    [media=youtube]9tWU7OnD1D4[/media]

    I haven't embedded it myself cause you seem to have the video on private so you'll have to fix that first ;)

    Hey, glad to hear that someone is interested in it ... developing this game has consumed my life a bit.

    I took down the above video because I added new artwork. However, here is a trailer of the game (this vid _is_ marked as private b/c I am still working on it, but it is embeddable):



    I also have a new gameplay vid, but youtube doesn't seem to be working for me now. I will upload it in a little while.

    Also, here are some screenshots of the *final* artwork. I should be submitting this game to the app store in a few days.

    I also have the app fully localized in Spanish, French and German, and 7 more languages nearly done ... so, hopefully it is a game almost everyone can enjoy.

    Hey, I just posted a full run through of IsoWords:



    This should give a sense of almost everything you can do in the game.
