TypeCast1.0 - App Store

Fun game just asks you to catch the falling blocks in the order shown. Slide the catcher left and right to catch the blocks you need, and miss the ones that you don't.

Not really a spelling game, since you're just matching the pattern of letters. In fact, the next release will include the option to use symbols instead of letters. (The first release uses words because it's easier to remember the order than a bunch of random symbols.)

Two different playing screens are provided for you to use, depending on what you prefer. (The game is the same on both screens; it's just whichever one you prefer.) You can easily switch between them, and pick up your game where you left off on the other.

Sounds simple, eh? It is. Well, it is... until you move up a few levels, where there are more blocks, falling faster. (There is also a "slow mode" where the speed doesn't increase. Great for practice or for older folks who just want to enjoy the game without getting too frustrated.)

Your score goes up for catching the right blocks and down for missing them. Your score goes down for catching the wrong block and up for letting them slide by.

Typecast is a great little time-killer while you're waiting in line, or some want to pass a harmless few minutes.

And, while spelling really isn't the point, for youngsters, or people just learning English, it will provide reinforcement of the proper spelling of several thousand words.

Next version will include access to game center, and the option to add in new styles of falling characters, including the dreaded symbol game!

THANK YOU for the thoughtful reviews! I appreciate them, and will take them to heart, and keep trying to improve the game. The points made are well-taken, and will be included in the next version as soon as possible!

Requires iOS 4.0 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
