Bookworm Heroes Launches For iOS
PopCap is bringing its popular browser-based word game to iPad and iPhone. The game puts a nice spin on the familiar Scrabble-derived formula. In this case, you have a playfield of tiles, which refill from the top as you eliminate tiles by creating words of adjacent letter tiles. It's not rocket science from a game design perspective, but this easy and addictive casual experience should be a winner on iOS.
Bookworm Heroes does add a bit to the base game by adding pets which give you extra bonuses or damage your opponent (which you can connect with through Facebook integration). It's a free download, but PopCap does sell coins to unlock various in-game items. The game is for sale now at the iTunes store.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
