Word Attack Action

Moby ID: 75430

Description

Word Attack Action is a Wordtris variant. Single blocks, each containing a letter, fall from the top of the screen and the player needs to arrange them on the playfield. The goal is to create words: then the letters disappear, the point count goes up (how much depends on the length and the letters used) and blocks above fall further down. Optimally the latter also form words and reward an even higher bonus. The next three letters in line are shown in a preview and the player can change their order of appearance. However, in some cases one of two special blocks appear: blank tiles - if possible - automatically become a letter to finish a word after hitting the ground and ghost tiles go straight through the regular blocks and can be used to replace useless letters.

There are three playing modes: standard (the player needs to make a certain amount of points in ten levels of increasing difficulty) endless (playing for a high-score without restrictions) and endless pro (more points, faster speed, each word can only be used once).
