30th January, 2014 WordsUp v1.0 for Windows 8 now available

My latest game for Windows 8, WordsUp, is now available to download from the Windows Store.

WordsUp is a fun strategic word game for between 2 and 4 players. Each player takes it in turns to place letter tiles on to a game board to form words and score points. Unlike other word games, WordsUp allows you to stack letters on top of those already on the board, changing those words and forming new ones.

The more tiles there are in each word you form, the more points you score. As the stacks of tiles keep getting higher, so do the scores. Can you score the most points and become the WordsUp champion?

You can play WordsUp against your friends (hot-seat or "pass and play") or against the computer. The computer has four difficulty levels, from "beginner" through to "expert" if you fancy a real challenge. You can set games up with any combination of human or computer players. Please note however that internet play is not yet supported in this version of WordsUp. I will be adding this to a future version shortly.

If you'd like to try the free trial, you can download it now from the Windows Store.

I will also be bringing WordsUp to Windows Phone too -- stay tuned for more information about this over the next couple of weeks.
