Relaxicon

Seems alright. Chain letters together to make words. No time limit/pressure. :) Score more points for longer words, etc. You confirm each word by dragging and releasing over a box at the right of the screen, so you can change your mind about which word you're using the letters for, up until then. :) Get the definition(s) for each word you've made - both in-game & with an option to look it up in your browser by clicking "Lookup" Each time you match a word, you have the left over letters, plus get more letters, to make the new word with ie game is a continuous thing of making word after word. You seem to get each new Challenge very soon after you passed the previous one. Click the Orange bullseye-ish circles at the top middle of the screen, to remind yourself of the current challenge. Can save at any time, from the options menu (ESC or cog at top left corner of screen) :) Works well with mouse.

A wordbuilder, literally. (haha, oh boy, I noticed after writing the whole thing...) SO pick up a letter, conect it to another letter, build a word, preferably including the letters from the "challenge", and score it in. That seems to be it. It's good to repeat or freshen up your vocabulary, and it will show the meaning of the word you built. It's fun to get words right and then find out, that it means something completely different. The name and the screenshots aren't lying. Follow my curator at https://store.steampowered.com/curator/28337205-Fair-Minded-Witness/

It is like a very low stakes game of scrabble. Chillout and just arrange letters to make words. Pretty cool. https://youtu.be/Q2a4efpfqaI

I usually love all manner of word games, but I played this for 10 minutes and found it so boring that I actually deleted it. There doesn't seem to be anything challenging or interesting within this game. You drag letters together to make words and earn points. The gameplay is clunky and slow. The challenges are boring: "make a word in 180 seconds" or "make a word with exactly 3 letters". This could possibly be more of a children's game - except that the colors/graphics/gameplay won't keep the interest of a child either. Sorry I wasted my money.

At some point, when you're far along in terms of earned points and don't want the particular run to end, it becomes less Relaxicon and a bit more Concentraticon and even Tensicon. Mainly, though, it is a simple, fairly easy and relaxing way to pass the time and work your brain and language skills. I really like the very detailed dictionary-based explanation of each applied word. It's especially good for those learning the language - or just wanting to broaden their vocabulary. Much recommended!

Relaxicon is an ultra simple browser/Flash/mobile tier word puzzle game where you assemble words by dragging them around, typing, etc. It's really just words. In fact, writing this review had more "gameplay" than this so-called game has. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks. There's no way to ensure this is running at the native resolution of your display. There's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. The game features extremely lazy, minimalist presentation, just words and letters on your screen. It's of the type you normally expect to see in low effort Flash/browser games and mobile apps. Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 3 players. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 50,000 games for gamers to choose from (over 9,000 completely free titles), the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected. Relaxicon is relatively cheap at $2 USD, but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, this is impossible to recommend.

I can only really recommend this, based on the low price. It's good features include its word-meaning popup. and the sound effects and music are very pleasant. I do think the game would benefit from further refinement. For example, the way the letters accidentally stick together is annoying and so is the way you can easily slide a partially formed word onto the submit area and it grabs the 'and' when you were trying to make 'salamander'! The database of acceptable words needs improving, too. For example, it readily accepted 'pulling' but not 'flipping' or 'quipping' and it accepted 'print' but not 'flint'! The game could benefit from being more interesting, such as, perhaps giving you an additional score for making sentences from the consecutive words you submit.
