Rise Up vs Word Connect
Rise Up
Rise Up is almost as frustratingly fun as the infamous Flappy Bird game, despite having a lot simpler controls. In this game, you need to protect the ascension of a probably helium-filled balloon by moving the circular shield in front of it with your finger. Push obstacles out of the way or tunnel through them, as you help clear the path for the ballon to keep rising. This game is endless though, so if you're good, you can rack up some pretty insane high scores, giving you the score advantage when it comes to dominating the leaderboard.Available on Android and iOS, Rise Up is a simple endless flying game that shot to fame due to its incredibly easy, and yet frustrating (if you're aiming for a respectable high score), gameplay. It's the perfect game to play if you enjoy a good challenge.
Word Connect
Word Connect follows in the successful word puzzle game formula used by many other games like Word Cookies and even Wordscapes... though, it's a lot more similar to Word Cookies than Wordscapes per se. The gameplay is incredibly fun and addictive and the controls are easy to learn as well - how hard can it be to swipe letters to form words, right? The game also boasts of having over 2500 levels - more to come! - and there's an exciting new daily challenge for you every day you log in. Hit a snag in the game? You can use hints or you can share the puzzle with your family and friends on Facebook and ask for help. Any extra and valid words you find will be rewarded as well!The game is not at all competitive so you can take your time looking for the words needed to complete a level. Best yet, the game is powered by the Oxford Dictionary so you can be sure that the English words you know, even including many others that you might not, will definitely be in the game.
Word Connect may not be innovative in any sense since it's basically a clone of Word Cookies, but if you're looking for the closest alternative to a game like Word Cookies, you may find this game a suitable choice. The game is both phone- and tablet-friendly and is available on iOS and Android.
