Waggle Words is a New Word Game Buzzing With Life
October 10, 2017 by RSS Feed
Waggle Words ($4.99) by Vermont Digital is a beautiful word game that's unlike other games in the genre. If you enjoyed games like Under a Spell and Spelltower, then you're going to love Waggle Words.
Since I pretty much write full time for a living, I consider myself a wordsmith. That's why word games are one of my favorite genres out there, and a great way for me to unwind and relax after a long, stressful day. While I love word games, I do feel that the market's oversaturated with the same Scrabble or Boggle type of games for a while, and there's nothing new or interesting. That's where Waggle Words comes in.

Visually, Waggle Words is one of the most gorgeous word games out there. The game is rendered in 2D, but during transition animations, the letters literally pop off of their tiles and fly around on the screen, giving it a pseudo-3D effect that is fun to watch. Waggle Words makes use of a sepia color theme overall, so it has a classy aesthetic going on. The playing grids are always arranged like beehive honeycombs, giving it a unique feel. Letter tiles are dark hexagons with glowing letters, and the colors get inverted when players select tiles. There's a glowing outline on the "Waggle Piece" to differentiate it from the rest, and the light and particle effects are mesmerizing to watch.
The soundtrack in Waggle Words is full of soothing, ambient nature noises, so it's calming and helps you focus on spelling words. The sound effects are fun to listen to as you create successful words, and the "buzz" you hear when using specific power-ups only adds to the uniqueness of Waggle Words and it's beehive design.
There's three game modes in Waggle Words: Casual, Daily, and Speed Game. In Casual, you get a random beehive grid layout (85 different versions with unlimited letter combinations) each time you play, and you can go at your own pace. Daily is a unique game board for the day that you can play multiple times to try and clear it and get your highest score. Speed is a timed game, where your goal is to make as many words as you can in one minute and 30 seconds. For Casual and Daily, the main goal is to clear the board, but you can also quit at any time and go with your current score.
Controls in Waggle Words are a simple affair. To spell words out, just drag your finger across the tiles that you want to use. If it's a valid word, the game tells you at the top of the screen how much it's worth in real-time. Words that aren't valid won't go through. When you have a valid word selected, just lift your finger from the screen and it's submitted automatically.
The one thing about Waggle Words that makes it stand out is the "Waggle Piece" that I briefly mentioned earlier. Once you submit a word, the last letter in that word becomes the Waggle Piece, and it stays on the board but advances to the next letter in the alphabet. If your next word starts with the Waggle Piece, then you increase the multiplier and your score increases. But if you don't use the Waggle Piece in the beginning of your next word, then the streak ends.
As you spell words, there's a chance to earn power-ups that can be used to help you clear the board. It seems the power-ups are random, and you get them when you make high scoring words. There are eight total power-ups available, and they all have a specific purpose.
The power-ups include advancing a letter tile one or two letters in the alphabet either forward or backward, respectively. Others let you move or swap pieces, including the Waggle Piece. There's also the copy boost, but if used on the Waggle Piece, it only copies the letter value, not the Waggle Piece itself. The Waggle Piece cannot change letters through boosts.
The most valuable power-up is the Swarm. This one gets the entire board buzzing and all of the remaining tiles "swarm" together like bees and regroup in a new cluster. This is more like a reshuffle of the board, and it closes all of the gaps that you left by clearing out tiles. I recommend only using the Swarm if you're absolutely certain that there are no other words you can make.
A cool thing about Waggle Words is that there's an AR Mode available for those who are on iOS 11 and have a device with the A9 (or higher) chip. This means that whatever your camera sees becomes the background, and the beehive board is laid out on top of it. It's a cool feature, but in my testing, I didn't find it to be too practical.
The AR Mode can be applied to any of the three game settings. Controls consist of the standard touch, or a different scheme called Target. With Target, you move your device around and line up the tiles you want in the center point, then tap-and-hold a button on either side of the screen to select your letters. When you long-press on both buttons at the same time, you re-center the grid alignment.
Waggle Words also comes with support for Game Center leaderboards, so you can be competitive with other players globally. There's also iCloud game save support, so your stats go with you, no matter which device you're using.
This is one of the most beautiful word games you'll find on the App Store.
The Good
There's a lot of good to be found in Waggle Words. The greatest thing about it is the distinctive visuals that make it stand out from the competition, and the atmospheric sound design. This is really one of the most stunning word games you'll find on the App Store. I also like the different game modes that are available, and the AR feature is cool for showing off your device capabilities. Controls are intuitive and straightforward enough for anyone to pick-up-and-play.
The Bad
While I love Waggle Words so far, it isn't without some flaws. I did find that sometimes it's hard to draw a path connecting letter tiles because it felt sensitive to touch and my finger blocks visibility, so the line would veer off to another tile. It's not a big deal in Casual or Daily, but can be a slight issue with Speed mode. I would recommend trying to be precise in that mode if you don't want to make mistakes.
The verdict
Waggle Words is a nice hidden gem among the App Store in recent weeks. I'm always up for a good word game, and this one is definitely a new favorite. I love the exquisite graphics and amazing sound design. Casual is the mode that I'm enjoying the most, but Daily gives me something to look forward to each day, and Speed is a real test. The power-ups provide variety and can change the tide of the game, helping you get closer to clearing out board. Replay value is high with this one, and I'll be coming back to Waggle Words for a long time.
I highly recommend Waggle Words if you're in the mood for a word game that is unlike anything you've tried before. Waggle Words is available on the App Store as a universal download for your iPhone and iPad for $4.99. There are no in-app purchases.

Kick Ass Commandos is an Intense Action-Packed Dual-Stick Shooter
October 09, 2017 by RSS Feed
Kick Ass Commandos ($2.99) by Anarchy Enterprises is a dual-stick action shooter that makes you feel like "Rambo." If you enjoyed games like Soul Knight and The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, then you will love what Kick Ass Commandos has to offer.
When I'm under some stress, I like to get rid of it by blowing stuff up in video games. Trust me — it's a great way to relieve your stress levels. I find shooters to be the best way to unwind, especially dual-stick shooters on iOS, because the touch screen controls usually work out well. So when I saw Kick Ass Commandos on the App Store, I knew that I had to get my hands on it. How can I resist a game that has "kick ass" in the title and also features plenty of awesome explosions?
Soul Knight
Zeyang Li
The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth
Nicalis, Inc.
In terms of visual design, Kick Ass Commandos is beautiful with a retro 16-bit pixel art aesthetic. The game is rendered completely in 2D with a top-down perspective, so you can see everything in a single glance. The game is full of bright and vibrant colors that are eye appealing. Character sprites and environments are amazingly detailed and full of realistic textures. Animations are buttery smooth and fluid on my iPhone 8 Plus, so there's no lag or choppiness with all of the on-screen action. There's also a heavy metal soundtrack that's sure to get your blood pumping for some intense shootouts. The sound effects are also rather realistic, which is fitting on top of the cartoonish visuals.
Kick Ass Commandos is a game that you probably don't expect much in terms of story, because all you want to do is shoot and blow stuff up. However, there is a plot behind everything, surprisingly enough. In Kick Ass Commandos, you learn that the enemy's been spreading their addictive Krystal Yayo across the globe, which turns everyone into mindless zombies. You've been chosen to lead the resistance and rescue your comrades while putting an end to their production of Krystal Yayo.
With Kick Ass Commandos, players will find six different mission packs, which are essentially chapters. There's a unique themed area for each pack, such as lush jungles, icy frozen tundras, or desert wastelands. All mission packs contain about nine levels to play through, and there's different objectives to do on each before it's considered complete. These can range from simple things like getting to a helicopter to more difficult rescue missions. You can start any mission pack you want, but the levels are only available in linear order, so you have to finish one in order to unlock the next one.
Controls in Kick Ass Commandos is simple and intuitive. If you've played dual-stick shooters before, then you'll know how this works. In the bottom left is the joystick for your character's movement. In the bottom right is the joystick for aiming and shooting. Both are not fixed, so they'll follow wherever your fingers are on the screen. A crosshair is shown on the screen to indicate where you're aiming, which is helpful.
One of the coolest things about Kick Ass Commandos is the fact that the environments are destructible. This means as you shoot your way through hordes of enemies, your surroundings are also affected, so things will blow up and get destroyed in the crossfire.
As you traverse through the terrain, you'll encounter other commandos who are trapped in cages. You'll want to bust those open and run over to the units to rescue them, and they'll also join your rag tag team. When you rescue other commandos, they'll follow you and attack in unison with you. This extra firepower is greatly needed when you face off against the tough bosses that await you.
When you take hits from the enemy, your health will drop. You can recover health by picking up green health boxes that drop from fallen foes, or by destroying wooden boxes and crates scattered about. There are also red power-up boxes that grant you rocket launchers, grenades, flamethrowers, and other insane weapons for a brief period.
There are 10 playable commandos that you can unlock, and each one has their own unique skills and specialities. They play style for each of them will vary in some ways, so it's recommended to try each one out as they become available to find the one you like the most. As you play each character, they'll earn experience when a mission is successfully completed. The commandos can earn upgrade points as they level up, which are used to increase their skills, such as health, armor, damage output, and more.
Kick Ass Commandos is an intense and insanely fun dual-stick shooter packed with explosions for days.
The Good
Kick Ass Commandos is definitely a fun time killer if you enjoy over-the-top action shooters. The game's vintage pixel art style is a nice throwback to the classic games of yesteryear, and the metal soundtrack gets your adrenaline going. The controls are simple and intuitive, and since the joysticks aren't fixed, you won't have a problem if your thumbs start straying away from the bottom corners. The mission system is straightforward and streamlined, offering plenty of challenge for everyone. There's plenty of variety between the mission packs and commandos so things are kept fresh and interesting, and the explosions just keep on coming.
The Bad
For the most part, Kick Ass Commandos is a great dual-stick shooter. However, the controls do take some time to get used to due to the sensitivity of aiming. There's no customizable options for the controls, so the only thing you can do about it is to practice and get used to it. Hopefully the developers can consider customizable control sensitivity in the future.
The verdict
Overall, Kick Ass Commandos is proving to be an excellent way to pass the time. I love the old-school, modernized graphics, and the soundtrack is downright awesome. While the controls do take some time to get used to, it's fairly straightforward and works well enough for the most part. I just hope to see a bit more customization options added in the future in case some prefer tweaking the sensitivity. The missions themselves are intense and challenging, and there's plenty of replay value here.
I highly recommend giving Kick Ass Commandos a try if you're looking for an over-the-top shooter to check out. You can find Kick Ass Commandos on the App Store as a universal download for your iPhone and iPad for just $2.99 for a limited time (normal price is $4.99). There are no in-app purchases.
