Cookie Jam vs WordCrafting: A Tower of Words
Cookie Jam
Cookie Jam is one of the few but popular match-3 puzzle game that has a following that rivals that of any games from King. Developed by Jam City, Cookie Jam provides the fun match-3 gameplay you'd expect from a... well, match-3 game but interestingly, you'll actually be matching sweet desserts that match the orders you receive from your customers. The game also offers varying challenges, which mostly include obstacles set up by the delinquent gingerbread man with some rather special level goals to achieve too.Cookie Jam's shot to fame can be mainly credited to its unique level goals and challenges but the game has put in some serious effort in making each level as engaging as the one before. If you're looking for something other than a Saga game to play, we would strongly recommend Cookie Jam.
WordCrafting: A Tower of Words
WordCrafting: A Tower of Words is a very intriguing and unique, fantasy-themed word puzzle game that combines the strategy and physics needed in tower-building games with the fun of unscrambling the letters in a word and making crossword puzzles. It may not be the easiest game to get into, but once you get how it works, you will quickly realize how refreshingly entertaining it is.The game offers 3 different game modes, which will be unlocked as you complete the previous mode. The game starts you off with the easiest MishMash mode, which basically consists of tower-building and unscrambling letters, and then move you on to the Classic mode that will require you to form your own words as you build your towers. Lastly, you'll get to the Endless mode whereby you will attempt to build the highest tower you can and see how well you rank among your friends on the leaderboard. There is also a Word of the Day mini-game to play, and some collectibles that you can collect by opening treasure chests.
Once in a while, I will stumble on a very much underrated word game that’s so unique, intriguing, refreshing, and challenging that it completely blows my mind (in a good way), and I’ve got to admit – WordCrafting: A Tower of Words is, without a doubt, one of these incredibly rare games. The number of new words you can learn through the MishMash mode of this game is simply astounding as well.
Granted that not many wordies may enjoy a game as different as this one, especially since the game seems to focus more on building solid structures rather than testing your vocabulary (at least in the MishMash mode), WordCrafting is definitely a game that wordies simply must try.
