Octo Drop is a word-creation game with very simple instructions. 1) Tap to place each falling letter into one of 14 octagons, which are divided into two columns. 2) Make three- to seven-letter words. 3) Score points based on the length of the word, the value of the letters in the word, and emptying one or both of the columns.

If you fill up all the octagons without making words or allow too many letters to drop, the game ends.

Game Features:

- Wide range of difficulty. Early levels only include the most common letters falling at a leisurely pace and increasing speed slowly over time. Later levels use actual letter distribution with a faster pace that speeds up more quickly. There is a setting for everyone, from early readers all the way up to highly competitive word game enthusiasts.

- You’ll look at words differently! Part of the challenge is building long words that do not already contain a shorter word. Using less common letters multiplies the value of a word, so bring your “A-Game” vocabulary!

- Octo Drop Color. Use colors and objects to make patterns instead of words. Octo Drop Color is faster-paced and higher scoring than Octo Drop Word.

App Features:

- 18 Campaign levels (9 Word and 9 Color). Difficulty increases for each level by adding less common letters, increasing speed, reducing the number of allowed drops, and increasing the target scores.

- 48 Achievements (30 Word and 18 Color). Change the flavor of the game entirely by focusing on longer words, higher scoring words, or only specific-length words.

- Custom controls allow for unlimited free play. You can choose the letter set, start speed, increase speed, number of allowed drops, and whether the next-letter preview is turned on.

- Embedded dictionary allows you to look up definitions at the end of each game.

- Tracking for high scores and highest scoring words.

- Full instructions and automated demonstration tutorials.

- Choose from three letter styles and three color/object sets.

- Connect to your iTunes for music.
