Coming to both the Nintendo DS and Wii (although as WiiWare): Wordsnake. Facts and screens inside.
Said to be hitting early 2008, developer Pixel Magick brings in Wordsnake for both Nintendo DS and WiiWare. In this simple and addictive word game, the aim of the game is to build words of 3-8 letters from the random selection on the tile rack, and reach a target score before the time runs out.
Each new word is placed on the board from an existing letter tile, forming snake like structures, which means the words must begin or end with the existing letter. Each level starts with a randomly changing letter tile that the player has to select to give the best chance of forming words. This tile becomes the base tile and remains on the board for the whole level. Subsequent tiles will disappear after a set time, which means the player must form new words to keep the snake alive. Invalid words will reduce the players score, but will have to be played sometimes to get rid of difficult letters. Special tiles let the player gain extra lives, decrease remaining level time or increase remaining level time. The player can also randomly shuffle their letters and move letters to a second tile rack to help with word construction.
As the player progresses to each new level, they will have less time to complete the level, the target score will increase, and extra walls will appear that restrict the playable area.
