I like word games and I used to play Scrabble on Yahoo games for hours years back. I haven’t checked out as many word games in iPhone though.
But, I think I am going to rekindle that old love for word games with this iPhone app I just came across.
Lexic by Kiefer Brothers is an incredibly beautiful iPhone app. The interface reeks of elegance and eye catching animations and pleasing sounds. It really is the most beautiful iPhone word game. Ever.
But, it does not stop at just being an attractive app. It is actually 4 word game modes packed into 1 app.
- Quest – You will form words with the tiles in front of you. As you play you will unlock game feats, tile sets etc. There will be bomb tiles, virus tiles, lock tiles and letter switch tiles that can be obstructive to collecting gold tiles and points.
- Cascade – This is a fun and fast paced game. You try to beat the clock and find words in a cascading stream of letters.
- Blackout – This is another cool mode where the words you form explode and it doesn’t get filled with more letter tiles. You can use the accelerometer to slide tiles left and right and craft words.
- Stasis: The tiles always remain in place and you can play infinite or to a clock and try to find as many words as possible.
The game itself has such good tactile feel and I am gushing with words of praise for it. It even has a beautiful tutorial for the game. The more you play you will start finding hidden secrets like achievements, themes and abilities that makes it even more interesting.
Lexic definitely sets an example of what a paid iPhone app should be.
If you want a great iPhone word game app, make Lexic your choice and you will not regret it.
I have another Keifer Brothers app review coming up shortly. Stay tuned.
