This template is a fully functioning ‘freemium’ game which is commented throughout, allowing anyone to release their own ‘4 pics 1 word’ style game by swapping in their own theme, graphics, clues etc. This was the engine used to release our apps Picture Word, Which Team and Band in 4 Pics.
Can also be used as a learning tool to see how a fully functioning game is put together using Corona SDK.
The cost is $14.99 and is available to buy here:
