CONTEST: Wordcaster Gets Updated, Win a Free Copy!

WORDCASTER

CONTEST WINNERS: And the winners of a FREE COPY of Wordcaster are... djlegend, mrfreeze574, saechuck, ywbyun, betavirus, Tokek, tylermckenzie, fyrfyter, Jrosephoto, and radube. You will receive an email from Nickel Budy with your free copy! *

Nickel Buddy released an updated version of their popular BlackBerry game Wordcaster today... In case you're not familiar, Wordcaster is a word game where you connect adjacent letter tiles to form words. Some tiles are red hot, and if you don't use them in a word, they will burn the tile below them each turn until they reach the bottom. If a red tile reaches the bottom, the game is over. Special tiles give the ability to cast spells, such as swapping tiles, or changing their letter. It's challenging and it's FUN.

Wordcaster is available from ShopCrackBerry.com for $9.99, and a free trial is available.

CONTEST - WIN A FREE COPY OF WORDCASTER!
I absolutely LOVE this game (Warning: it's ADDICTING), so we hooked up TEN free copies to give away to CrackBerry.com readers. To get in on your chance to win, be logged into CrackBerry.com and leave a Comment on this Blog Post!

Not sure what to comment? Why not download a FREE TRIAL of Wordcaster, and let everyone know your thoughts, tips and high scores! You have until this Sunday, Midnight CST to get in on the contest. I'll update this post come Monday morning with the winning usernames. Instructions are posted after the jump, so you can get the most out of the game immediately.  

Wordcaster Instructions: Type out words by using the keyboard, or by selecting them with the trackball. The Delete key erases the last letter, and the Enter key submits a word to be scored. If multiple words are possible, use the trackball to rotate between word possibilities.

Some tiles are wrapped in a colored ribbon. Use these tiles in a word and gain the use of a corresponding spell:

  • Red is MIX and allows you to scramble all the letters on the board, though it also introduces a red hot fire tile.
  • Green is SWAP, which allows you to swap any 2 adjacent tiles.
  • Blue is SHIFT, which allows you to change the letter of a tile up or down 1 position in the alphabet.

Enjoy Wordcaster! Good Luck on the Contest!!

I was actually pleasently surprised by this game.
I was expecting something that would be entertaining for a small amount of time and then become mundane and boring.

However this game is a lot of fun. Definitely love the trial version...would LOVE to win a full copy...hint...hint

Never one for playing games on mobile devices - most played is probably brick breaker on my curve :) This seems good though - well executed and looks nice, might give it a shot :)
