Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
This game is not only fun, it sharpens your mind. It actually should improve your reading speed as you play. Trust us, Im a doctor.
Elegant smooth design, a fresh concept! For those of us who are offended by signs with inexplicable apostrophes. Honest and respectful use of the free to play model.
Id like to give this a higher rating, but the amount they make you spend on extras arent worth it. The story line isnt amazing either. Its a time killer for about three minutes but thats it. Good luck.
The game really has potential, but falls a little flat. It gets boring and repetitive after 10 minutes or so, and thats coming from a total grammar nazi. We love the idea the game takes of being a book editor, but this game just feels like its missing something. Wouldnt spend money on it. We hope they make something more out of the premise in the future. Maybe a full, in depth game instead of an arcade style? Or at least make it more detailed and less repetitive somehow.
Its stupid and not fun to play wouldnt recommend to anyone.
The design and music choices are nice, thats about it. Youre just clicking words that are painfully obviously spelled wrong, with zs, qs, xs and so on in places that are very easy to spot. Plus, you only get one story for free and have to buy the rest of them, so we finished in about 2 minutes and then uninstalled. Boring and not worth the time or money.
This game is beyond boring. Your just tapping words that are obviously misspelled. And they are so easy to point out since they have random Qs and Zs in them.
Game does not respond to either finger tip or stylus. Might be fun if it worked, but no way to find out. Junk.
Downloaded this thinking it would challenge us to pay closer attention. It didnt. It was a game of speed. Just not what we were looking for. Has potential for people who enjoy those types of games but just wasnt for us.
We like relaxing puzzles and this would be perfect WITHOUT THE TIMER.
If you are a good speller, or a proofreader, this game is fun for a while. But its pretty much all the samepage after page, looking for a typo.
The game is pretty smooth and calming to play however a lot of the typos feel very obvious and do not feel like they actually expect you to know how to spell. The stories are boring too but we dont care as much about that. We did run into an error saying that one of the misspelled words we clicked on wasnt an array though before it kicked us out of the app so we would just check that.
We spent less than 5 minutes playing this game. We though it was going to increase in the length and difficulty of the words, with complex typos. Instead theyll replace an o with a q, or switch two letters. They only shorten the time you have to read it, but it never gets more complex. It just makes us feel dyslexic. Which is not the experience we play mobile games for. Also only one chapter is free and other genres are paid.
You may play one trial round for free, a short story in which you must find letters with random consonants. For example, we all know theres no j or x in the word, where. The game seems to imply one would have to carefully choose where, were, or were, but its not that. Its just random letters thrown into the words of a storyline.
We downloaded this randomly on a whim, and Im obsessed. As a closet grammar Nazi, finding the errors is so satisfying. We especially love how you can have it timed for a challenge, or you can just Zen out with an endless, untimed session to relax. The premise is definitely not for everyone, but the audience this is directed towards will be delirious with joy.
The game is interesting and has the potential to be quite fun, but Ive managed to cause it to crash twice within 15 minutes. It may be that this particular build is unstable and a future update may fix the issues Ive seen. We managed to get a screenshot of the second crash, if that helps the developer.
This game is nothing like the fun game it looks like. It is just words which are clearly misspelled, like ojver that you have to click. There are no punctuation, capitalization, or incorrect usage of words errors. As we said in the beginning, Absolutely awful.
We wanted a game that would actually challenge our proofing skills. It increases in speed as you go along, and the words have obvious letters that dont belong and are easy to spit. These dont necessarily enhance your proofing skills. In fact, if you are proofing a paper, you shouldnt speed through it. We understand that its a game, and the speed of which you respond makes it more of a challenge, but this is not what we were looking for when we downloaded the game. The Zen mode is a nice option, but it shouldnt be endless. Give it a time limit, too, or set different levels in Normal mode, so that you can advance to a higher level if you wish to play at a faster pace.
Who would think that finding typos could be so much fun! Great game, very smooth app, a joy to play.
We, a man known to some as Rizzo, enjoyed this game and the time the developer took to make it.
