Balls vs Word Forward
Balls
Balls is a fun 5-games-in-1 type of puzzle game where you can not only enjoy the fun brick-breaking action like in Ballz, but also a range of other fun games like the Lineup game mode which is basically Tetris but with a really innovative twist. There is also a CatchCup mode where you'll need to "level up" the cups by catching as many marbles as you can. The interesting thing about this mode is that you have a set number of marbles and every marble you dropped onto the table will not be restored to you. So, as you play, you'll slowly and literally lose your marbles!The Occupy mode is another game mode that's pretty unique but can be quite challenging to score high in. In this mode, you'll basically be creating your own "bricks" to break via a bubble shooter-styled gameplay, but the trick here is to make sure the ball never touches the bottom line. The "bricks" you make and break will also balloon up if you shoot them towards an area with lots of space and thus, taking up vital space that you'll need to shoot your balls.
In many ways, I personally enjoy playing this game more than Ketchapp's Ballz mainly because it has other equally interesting game modes for me to enjoy. So, if you love puzzle games, Balls is a game you should definitely try.
Word Forward
Word Forward is a fairly challenging, word puzzle game whereby the goal is not to make the longest word or even to find the rarest ones – it is to clear the board of all letter tiles by strategically forming words with the letters given. The game also provides plenty of help if you need them, though if you want to get a Gold star for every level, you’ll want to avoid relying too much on the aid given.Although Word Forward doesn’t add much to one of the many existing formats of word games that are already out there, the stuff it does add manages to help the game stand out. With the variety of strategic tools that you can use, Word Forward feels so much more flexible as a puzzle game since there are many ways you can go about clearing all the letters and solving the puzzles. Plus, the price is perfect for the levels and playtime it can offer, and as a nice bonus, you can even choose which platform and device you prefer to play the game on!
