If you owned a smartphone in 2011, you almost surely played a few rounds of Zach Gage’s SpellTower, a ridiculously-popular word game that took inspiration from both Tetris and Boggle. But now it’s nine years later, and if you’re still playing SpellTower, you’ll be happy to know that the developer is launching a sequel this week.
SpellTower+ will be available as a free download through the iOS App Store this Thursday, January 30, and it’ll include five brand new game modes:
Pick your words wisely! As you play, more tiles rise from the bottom of the screen! It’ll take all of your lexicological wits, and tactical know-how to keep your columns down. If any letters make it to the top row, it’s game over.
Classic modes Daily Tower, Tower, Puzzle, Rush, and Zen are all back and packed with brand new BONUS TILES that double (or more!) word values.
Joining them is the brand new Search Mode, plus ExPuzzle, Double Puzzle, Bubble Puzzle, and Blitz Mode!
The success of the original SpellTower meant a lot to Gage, and he shared some of his thoughts about the massive response to the game on Apple.com.
