    Hi all. I recently downloaded Spelltower for the iPad. I love the game but the issue I am having is I can't seem to unlock Extreme mode although it says it's unlocked after getting 2000 points in Puzzle mode. For some reason, when I complete a game in puzzle mode, the same 1267 points show even though I may have gotten 800 points in the last game I played.
    Do I have to get that 2000 points in one sitting? Does anyone know how to fix this?

    If it doesn't show that "2,000" number counting down after each match I'd assume they mean in one go.

    You have to get 2000 points in a single game, if I remember correctly.

    Really cool game by the way.

    The number on the right hand corner should be your highscore. The left hand side should be your current score.

    You need a score higher than 2000 points to unlock Ex puzzle mode, so yes it has to be in one sitting

    Aww, I thought the points had to be accumulated and not in one sitting. Oh well, more of a challenge I guess. Thanks all.

    Unfortunately it looks like my fears about iOS support grinding to a halt came true. Since I wrote those words over a year ago, no new iOS features at all came out, and in fact the game does not work at all (in multiplayer) in iOS 7.

    I hate to say "I told you so" because I really wanted this game to succeed and for one thing I wanted to play against my friends also running iOS7. But I've seen this dynamic many times in my life: once the commitment to multiplatform is made, the worst of the platforms dominates the development time and the original platform support suffers. See, e.g., Framemaker - started out on Macs, was ported to Windows, Mac development stopped entirely.

    In this case, it doesn't help that Apple is in general so developer-hostile under Cook. So sad, really: iOS was a great OS, but what happened to Spelltower is in microcosm the fate of the iOS itself.

    I hope so, it's one of my favorite word games on ios and never left my device because of it's replayability & small size!:)#

    And now we need an update for UNIFY, Zach!!!!!!!! Please make this happen, it's one of the best games ever. Imagine this with new crisp graphics!!!###

    This is really great news, SpellTower is such a fantastic word game.
    I get pretty excited when some of my favorite games from yesteryear get a modern update.

    It's out!
    And it's awesome!
    The game looks great, the new zen mode is ###

    Also love the vibrating haptic feedback even on silent.

    Agreed. It's a really satisfying effect.

    I've fallen in love with this game all over again.

    Does anyone understand the scoring system? Got a 14 letter word, but scored less than my top 12 letter word of Quixotically that scored 1428.

    Scoring still seems to be way off even after this quick fix. My usual strategy in tower mode of starting with a decent length Q word is yielding scores way below normal it seems.

    There was another update today. Scoring now seems to be how it used to be.
