The lovely Alison knows how much I love word puzzles, and she has been teasing me with the idea that something was coming from them soon that would be right up my alley, and now here it is: Astraware‘s new brain-teasing word game Bubble Babble.
Challenge – create a set number of words against the clock,
Target – reconstruct the separated word from the letter bubbles,
Mystery – try different permutations of letters to find the hidden word,
Freeplay – just enjoy making words to boost your points score.
This game is available for the Palm OS, Pocket PC, and Smartphones; I’ve just loaded it to my MWg Zinc II, and I’ll give it a try later today. You can give it a try, too – just hit the Astraware site and download the trial.
