The Meteorites

Makewords, Meteor Games’ Facebook application now features a level system. Upon submitting a word, and at the end of the game, the bar begin to fill up.

Here are the levels and the points required to get them:

You saw this first on The Meteorites. We love the fact that we bring you more unreleased news than any other fan website. Keep coming back for more.

Edit: In the future these levels may unlock new grids, or bonus levels. Also, grids with a maximum score lower than 2000 will no longer appear..

Poking around once again, we have uncovered some very exciting news: a Meteor Games Network. This website looks to feature a site currency of Meteor Credits, which can be bought or obtained by signing up with sponsors. The new Meteor Games website, which is supposed to be released in the not too distant future will be a portal for all the games the company has produced. 

Edit: The portal for Meteor Games games is to be named Meteor Central.

Being as nosey as we are here at themeteorites.net we have uncovered the names of two projects from Meteor Games.

1. Play Bitten – We believe this to be a game that will be released on social networks & meteorgames.com.

2. Hero Pets – Hero Pets we think was to be a virtual pet website from Meteor Games. But this idea has been shelved for the time being. We are unsure as of yet whether this is the pet site talked about recently on the Twin Skies forums.

These projects have their own domains:
www.playbitten.com
www.heropets.com
but both lead to the current Meteor Games company website.

Ok so it’s not quite a toolbar, but now on Makewords application, there is now a banner which looks to be the first signs of Meteor Games 2.0

As can be seen from the screen shot (above), the toolbar is not finished, with links not and images not showing up. By clicking on the meteor games icon on the left, it would lead to a pop-up to signup for an account.

Makewords is the first full game from Meteor Games, released today. Makewords is a FaceBook application which, in a few weeks, will be available to play on meteorgames.com and MySpace.

In the game you are presented with the above screen. You have to make words by connecting the letters in the grid. Using the arrows on either side of the grid, you can rotate it, saving you standing on your head to find possible letter combinations. Don’t forget to click Enter when you’ve found a word! The highest score possible in the particular game is shown on the left with: “Possible Score: x”. Total amount of words, and their lengths are shown top left of the game screen. The time (3 minutes), will count down in the top right, so keep an eye on it.

The wooden character you can seen by the Enter box is called splinty. “[he] is the ’star’ of [the] new game makewords. He enjoys long walks in the park and making friends. His pet peeve is people who spell weird with ie!”

From within the application, you can send and receive challenges, view game news and view your statistics.

On the Play page, there is a box which shows your ranking compared to your friends. This is a great way to show off how good you are with words, or, in my case, an embarrassing way of showing how bad you are with words.

This great new game is made by TPOSG and the Allen, who worked on Twin Skies Tower Defense.
