Bookworm (iPhone)
How can I game that’s so very, very dull waste so much time?
The trouble with Bookworm is that you get to a stage where it’s throwing hard-to-use letters at you, meaning you’re eking out puny words and can hardly ever make good ones. That’s just not as fun as the early stages. On top of this, it only makes it harder to make good words, not survive, as the red tiles are never a real threat if you’re careful and plan ahead as soon as they arrive.
It all adds up to a deeply flawed, even broken, game… but one that still, somehow, keeps you playing.
I’ll never understand it.
