I <3 this game. :)

It's worth the $2.99 and $1.99 is just a steal!

Needs larger buttons for selecting individual letters, this makes you fumble around and loose too much time when playing this game

Hey, great! I just had a hankerin' for Text Twist, which I used to play religiously on my Palm. If GameHouse isn't going to develop for the Storm, than I'll gladly send a few bucks to this outfit. Hope it's as addicitve as the original.

So far, in every game I've played, the game has gone paws-up in level 4 or 5. The down-swipe gesture stops working so that you can't submit any more words, and when the level does time out, it doesn't progress to the next level. So this isn't even worth $2.

Another bug is that the auto-shuffle which occurs between each word submission sometimes happens as you click the first letter of a new entry -- so that the letter you clicked on is replaced with another one as you click, and this different letter is the one which is recognized by the game. (In other words, you click on one letter, and some other letter is randomly posted.)

If the game did work normally, I would add that the fact that the letters disappear when you click them, requiring that you figure out where the next letter you wish to click has jumped to, is very clumsy. Would prefer that the selected letter would stay where it is and become grayed out.

So it's like the free word mole game that comes with the phone... just not as good???

First off, thank you Kevin for letting the community know about this great game. We have spent a lot of time getting it ready, and it really is the best one of our games yet.

As with all our apps, we constantly strive to improve them, and listen closely to the community for feature requests and any problems people may be running into. Everyone has a different setup on their phone, so its easy for people to try to blame a single app when something goes wrong.

Check out the thread if you have any requests, or are running into any problems.

To the person above running into issues, I am sorry you are having this experience with the game, but after many hours of testing and hundreds of people trying it out, no one else has reported your issues. Please contact me directly so we can try to figure out what is going on.

Thank you and enjoy the game! (and other Epic Application apps!)

This forum won't allow me to send you an email because I have no posts to my name, and your email address is not public in your profile.

Thanks!

Playing 10 consecutive times, with a battery pull in between, the swipe down mechanism no longer works making progression impossible passed level 5. Software developer emailed, awaiting response

After playing a few rounds the game completely craps out and stops working properly. This game isn't yet ready for prime time.

About 1 in 100 customers have been reporting the issue you see above. We are looking into it now and will issue an update if necessary.

I have finally progressed passed level five with the developer's suggestion of playing with no sound!

 
 
Posted by EpicDraws Sunday, Jun 07, 2009 1082 days ago

I have now posted an update which fixes the problems from above which were caused by a memory leak from the audio. While we work this out, the new version does not offer sounds, but instead adds 20 new levels. Look out for an updated version once we get the sound under control.

Thank you all for your patience and support.

Good work from the developer for staying active and updating the software so quickly.

no way to save...so if i get a phone call or want to check on an email...back out, and come back in and new game...poor.

Epic just released a new build of this game, and the problem seems to be fixed. Hope you all enjoy!

I appreciate the memory leak workaround, but now that I can get past level 5, I find that the frequency of level repeats is pretty disappointing. Specifically, after playing about ten games in total, I just quit a game at level 15 because I got a repeat level which I had already played earlier in that same game -- and it was the second level which repeated within that game. And there were also another two levels in that same game which were repeats from the previous 10 games. Again, that's all within the span of *one* game. That's at least an order of magnitude more frequent than the <1% repeat probability that the developer cited previously.

Don't get me wrong, though; with the memory leak circumvented, the game is absolutely worth the $2 I paid for it, so I'm not so much complaining as providing what I hope is useful feedback.

Game is buggy, won't let me go past lvl 5.

 
 
Posted by cletis Monday, Jun 08, 2009 1082 days ago

There is a somewhat significant existing comment history above regarding the memory leak, a workaround, and an almost immediate initial updated release from the developer.

I know people are seeing the same levels some time and that is because there are about 150 levels right now, so you have a 1:150 chance of any level being a repeat. I am adding 200 more levels within the next few days/weeks which will help this and that update will be free. As with all my apps, getting in early is a great idea because you can get free updates and influence features!

I play this all the time on my IPod touch. Of course, there it's a free game. Would love to play it on my Storm too, but if they're not going to have an lite or ad-supported version that's free, then I'm not going to bother.

Seriously, Blackberries need more free options ...

Has anyone tried this on the Storm2? I'm trying to transfer it to mine and it says "Unavailable for this device". The specs for the software say it is supposed to be compatible but doesn't seem to be the case.
