How do you clear a misspelled word? It seems that once you mess up, you’re kinda stuck.  Other than that, it looked pretty fun.

Tap the “cancel” button every time its shows up “not a word”

#4

I have a question. Since I’m kinda new to putting apps on the android play app store. Can you give me advice’s or how to gain more users/downloads

#5

I don’t remember seeing a cancel button.  I’ll go back and look for it.

I’m also probably the worst person to answer how to get downloads on Google Play.  It’s historically been my worst performing store.  You might be interested in a Facebook group of Corona developers who swap reviews.  You review their app, they review yours and getting a hand full of reviews can help jump start you some.  See:

The cancel button is in the game, on what device did you installed on?

#7

Google Nexus 7.

it should be there, specially for tablet. uninstall it and re-download it (I did an update) link - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cobragames.wordfall

I found the problem.  Your graphics along the bottom are getting hidden by the device’s softbar.  On some devices, the bar does not hide.  You should be able to get the bar’s height and position your graphics accordingly.

Left you a review on the app’s page in the Play Store.

ingenuityminded, 

I’m a big fan of word games so I had to check this one out.  I really like the concept but it feels like it could use a little more polish yet.  On my 8" Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 the top and bottom edges are clipped making it hard to see the score on top and buttons on the bottom (see attached screenshot).

It’d be nice to have some visual feed back on what letters I’d tapped.  A simple highlight using setFillColor would probably do the trick.  Do you have any sounds yet?  I couldn’t hear anything but I have a bad habit of muting my tablet and leaving it that way.  Here’s a  couple good resources for sound effects if you need them.

As one of the reviewers mentioned I ended up with a lot of Z’s and X’s and a distinct shortage of vowels.  Are you picking the letters from a uniform distribution or is it weighted to pick certain letters more often?

Holler when you post a new update and I’d be happy to check it out again!

Thank you !  :smiley:

I updated the app, version 1.6, update the app and everything should be re-adjusted to fit tablet screens.

I updated the app, version 1.6, update the app and everything should be re-adjusted to fit tablet screens. Now you should see the score & bottom buttons.

Looks much better now, good luck!
