This installment leads us to both the conclusion of Word War Week and paves the way to Super Big “The APPera” Weekend!
Being the last review for this series, The APPera and the guys at Kieffer Bros are giving away SIX* copies of our last Word War Week participant… LEXIC.
Lexic ($1.99)
Within the past week, we saw word games with simple and tweaked gameplay. Tonight, we go back to basics…

For the first installment of our series “Word War Week” we decided to go with Ian Marsh’s (January Developer of the Month) simple and very theme driven Textropolis!
Tweaking a Proven Formula
