Up Spell by Up Games App Reviews

The app is pretty bare bones and should allow one to review the very fast-paced game. It would be nice to be able to review the letters and the words formed from them after the fact. It would also be nice to be able to replay a game both before and after reviewing. It would also be nice to be able to play without a clock. And it would be nice to be able to see one’s scores, not merely the top score. I hope to see these areas improved in future updates, but encourage you to get the game as it is—

This game wasn't for me, but I think it executes on its intentions well. It's a very fluid and responsive game; sessions are quick, the animations are tight and it gives nice Taptic feedback. However, I got frustrated by the letters I'd get, often with only one vowel and lots of duplicate letters. I might just be very bad at this game but it left me feeling stuck during games and ultimately made the game seem more like a task than a fun game. It is good at what it is but just isn't quite for me.

Perfect for a quick escape during the day. Simple, clean design and delightful music. Continues to be one of my favorite games that I come back to.

I like this game *a lot*. Scratches the Wordle itch between new words. One complaint: sometimes I get no vowels. Is this a feature or a bug? I get that this can happen in Scrabble, for instance, but then you have a whole board to play on. The session I just finished I went with “DR” which counted as a word, then I got a vowel. If this is intended I gotta say it feels a little broken. But the game is great. Everyone who likes Wordle should check it out.

Playing a word game with two hands is less appealing. It needs portrait mode. Otherwise it’s pretty fun.

I love this game. Great lexicon, neat interface which is sympathetic to my poor vision. But..I can't get Duel to work. I can't get the Send arrow to work.

It’s fun, but the letter selection doesn’t seem well randomized. Sharing doesn’t work. Just get a blank screen and have to quit the app.

This is a delightfully addictive game, with a simple, effective design.

Very addictive. A great game to play in free moments. Definitely some words missing, but the developer is open to adding more. Definitely recommend if you like word games.

Lots of fun. Superb implementation.

It’s fun, but the letter selection doesn’t seem well randomized.

Love this game but agree that it should show highest scored game and Game Center integration. Play this for hours (while sitting and waiting). Nice work!!

This is a super addicting word game. I think it would be cool if the dev could add a post game screen that showed your highlights for that game. Highest scoring word, oddest word, etc...

Up Spell is ducking fun. I’d give it another star if only it were written in Swift 😏 but alas... Good work, Ken 😉

I’m really enjoying the game, one thing I’d love to see added would be some kind of endless mode. I like just getting into the zone and don’t want the game to end at two minutes.

The different values for different letters is a nice additional dimension. But I can’t seem to successfully play with anyone else. The text message with the link to the game isn’t being created and sent properly.

It's a really fun game, just needs a high score board (and ideally Gamecenter integration so you can compare scores with your friends).

Would appreciate proper iPad support!

This game scratches the itch. Details abound, no surprise given the developer. No in app purchases mean you pay once and enjoy the game forever. Kudos, this gane is done right.

Does the game keeps stats anywhere? That seems like a key feature that’s missing from an otherwise nearly perfect game.

Reminds me a bit of Spelling Bee from The NY Times. Great design and great soundtrack, but no way to see my previous scores?? Am I missing something?

It would be a great free app. With interstitial ads. But paying $2 for this simple app was too much. My main complaints: 1. You can only play in horizontal mode 2. You can not play against strangers or a leaderboard or anything. You either have to invite your friends or just try and beat your high score (which should be displayed along with current score after every game) 3. When you put up letters that don’t make a word you have to hit the down arrow to clear them. The down arrow is placed in

Needs updating.
