The mashup of word games and music games!
Alphabeats remixes spelling into a fast-paced action challenge, set to pulse-pounding tracks from exciting electronic artists. Catch the falling letters to make words, challenge yourself and your friends to score the most points, and youll find that you cant stop playing – and that spelling is even cooler than you thought.
It’s easy to play!
1. Pick a song, and letters will fall in time to the beat.
2. Catch the letters you want and dodge others to make words.
3. Try to get as many points as you can by the end of the song!
The longer your word, and the rarer its letters, the more points you get. With the expedient ability to instantly define any word you spell, you can expand and refine your vocabulary on the sly as youre having fun!
▶ Play along to six tracks from music masters such as Disasterpeace and Big Giant Circles!
▶ 15+ extra songs available to download!
▶ Three difficulty modes: Casual, Tricky, and the fiendishly difficult Spellfire!
▶ Use powerups wisely – shrink your word, multiply your points, or blow up letters you don’t want!
▶ Word of the Day gives you bonus points for learning new vocab!
▶ Challenge your friends using Game Center!
▶ Global score rankings – can you make the longest word ever?
Latest reviews of Alphabeats app for iPhone and iPad
Total disappointment.
I love how its equal parts twitch action game and intellectual puzzle, but still really easy to pick up and play. All the music is great and makes it really easy to get lost in the game. My favorite songs are "Nothing About HRH Victoria" for relaxing and "Three" (in the Music Shop) for intensity.
Ive been looking for a game like this for a while. I love word games, but they can be slow. I love rhythm games, but wish they were more intellectually challenging. Alphabeats has the best of both worlds! I love making the longest word I can, and using the powerups to go even longer. The music is really cool too, they got some big names. I can play this game for way too long. ^_^;
A challenging and fresh new take on word building.
If that isnt enough to excite your neurons, I dont know what is. The tension between rhythmic movement, loss aversion, score maximization, and vocabularic showmanship was a new feeling for me, and the writing is both entertaining and will improve your high score. The music is great, too. By the time you reach Febrile difficulty, you will be a walking (dancing?) thesaurus with the reflexes of a skittish test pilot.
