Ian Marsh brought us the loved app Scoops [iTunes Link] and now he brings us yet another great application: Textropolis [iTunes Link].
The app is a word game in which you travel around the world though different cities making up words from the letters given (in this case the city’s name). The more words you find; the bigger your population gets and the more cities you unlock.
This app has become one of my favorite apps very quickly. It has a high replay value and never gets old. Whether you like word games like Scrabble or not, this game will win you over. The app contains 30 cities; which you need to fully complete to get 5 stars. Each star is 10% of the total words in THAT city. You can get a hint by shaking your iDevice; but be warned: each hint costs you 1,000 people from your population (score)!
This app is very addictive. It is on sale for $0.99 until January 20th. The developer has submitted an update to Apple pending approval which will contain:
- Improved word definitions
- Softened jackhammer sound
- Holding backspace now clears word
- Slowed hint plane
I think at a dollar this is a steal and definitely worth buying. Can’t wait for version 1.0.!
