BEST SPELLTOWER WORDS UPDATE
This update goes in the complete opposite direction with additions to the Tower game mode (which I always saw as the “core" mode of SpellTower). The puzzles also feature bonus tiles that will hook you with double word values. In SpellTower your primary objective is to score as many points as possible by finding as many high-value words as possible. The game collects high scores, detailed game statistics, leaderboards, and achievements, and supports iCloud backup. According to Zach, people were always asking him what a “good" score was in Tower mode, which was always sort of difficult to say because it’s a totally random game mode. Today’s update introduces a daily Tower, where each player plays with the exact same set of letters, allowing folks to directly face off for the highest score with a specific set of blocks on a specific day. To encourage competition, there’s a bunch of different awards you can earn depending on where you stack up against the rest of the players in that game as well as a few other statistics like your lifetime average score and other interesting tidbits for long-time players of the game. I hope it gives everyone who’s loved the game a reason to pick it back up again and share it amongst their friends and family.Additionally, the menu system has been tweaked a bit which comes with the added benefit of greatly reducing (if not eliminating) lag between switching in between the menu and the game. I thought a lot about all the experiences that people have had with the game when I was designing this new version. The experiences and love I had for the game has been outstripped by its audiences a thousandfold.

I’m deeply grateful that SpellTower has been able to be something special for so many people, and I think that’s why so many people have shared it with friends, loved ones, and strangers on elevators.Įven though SpellTower is a game I made, it’s really barely mine anymore.

Games felt like a way to do this on a huge scale, but the stories I heard from SpellTower players taught me that games do so much more for people than I ever expected. I wanted to help people think critically and come away with more than they arrived with. I got into games because I wanted to connect with people in a positive way. With SpellTower I heard about grandparents playing the game every morning to keep their minds sharp, parents playing it with their kids, expectant mothers playing it to get through morning sickness, and countless sightings of strangers playing it on subways, planes - even elevators. The first iPhones it ran on had a 3.5 inch screen and 320 x 480 resolution! I literally did a double-take at that resolution when I looked it up.Ī funny part about having a hit game is people talk to you about it. I can't believe it's almost 10 years since it released. It’s pretty wild to be revisiting my first hit game, SpellTower.
