It is the third game in the Mini Words series. [h3] STORY [/h3] There is no story, background, or setup to the game. [h3] GAMEPLAY[/h3] The goal of the game is to spell words in the allotted letters given, without crossing lines or leaving any letters unused. The words needed are all answers or partial answers around video games. The puzzles come in packs of 10 and the amount of words needed increases slightly as you progress. The problems and solutions are fixed so there is no deviation in the results. If you get stumped there are word puzzle tools online, and there are guides for each puzzle number. [h3] PLAYTIME [/h3] The game is pretty easy for anyone with modern gaming knowledge. There are 100 puzzles to complete. Play time for this game is ~1-2 hours to complete all puzzles and get all achievements. [h3] COMPLAINTS [/h3] There is nothing specific to complain about for this game. [h3] REPLAYABILITY [/h3] The game doesn’t have any replayability since the puzzles do not change. [h3] RECOMMENDATION [/h3] I recommend this game to anyone that likes casual word games or is an achievement hunter.

Finished this game, it was good basic fun with some difficult questions. Recommended for the die-hard fans of retro and current games. Sometimes, the clicking on the buttons isn't as easily captured by the game, where one needs to go to the edge of the button to be able to click it. Not a showstopper though.

Nemá žádný hint systém, pokud tedy nebudete vědět tak jediné možné řešení je google.

What you see is what you get but it gets big ups from me for having actually challenging answers. A lot of what look like simple, bare-bones trivia games have incredibly dumbed down questions. By stage three (30-39, not question 3) it'll have you trying to remember who the Final Fantasy creator is and the name of the ship from Dead Space. And if you have a cursory knowledge of the question you can often guess your way there given the letters which is nice. The questions are written well too, not just bullet points from Wikipedia. For example, with the answer "GALAGA" the question is phrased: "A fixed shooter. Destroy aliens that dive towards your ship in multiple formations. Rescue your captured ship to get a dual fighter" There's only so much you can talk about in a short form, minimalist trivia game but the trivia itself - content and question phrasing - is far stronger than I expected. But it's still video game trivia at the end of the day though so I don't want to give you any lofty expectations. I just wanted to praise the developers for going the extra mile while not being afraid to challenge the player. Every answer even gives a drop down message with the Title, Platform, Year, and Publisher of the game too, so that's another mile (Developer/Studio would have been nice though). As for the rest that's there: options are just resolution, sound, and toggling the background animations (floating gaming-related icons). Resolutions aren't YxZ, rather they're just pre-determined screen percentages. There's five options to pick from (100 -full, 90, 70, 50, and 30%). But since the game is natively borderless window there's little need to mess with them. When paused mid-game the menus do get messed up in a way that, it's kind of hard to explain, but in a way that obscures you from easily navigating back through stages. But two clicks to the main menu fixes this and besides, you're likely to finish this in one or two sittings answering question after question so it's not like you'll ever need to open the menu anyways. The sound has a slider for SFX only as there is no music, which I think is for the best actually. Highlighting letters and solving words give off satisfying marimba-esque boops in different keys. The feedback noise for crossing a line already crossed does get a little annoying if you accidentally make the mistake more than once in a row. All of that is to say that there's jank but it has little to no impact on the gameplay. And 12 the achievements are just progress related and can be done in any number of sittings And as of 9/16/2021 the website Fanatical is having a special of 3-for-$1 games where you can get Steam keys for the basic Mini Words, Mini Words Movies, and this one for a dollar. That means I did get this game for 33 cents technically, but I don't think a difference of 66 cents gives me significant bias but I'll mark it as "for free" just in case
