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.
