![]() ![]() I suppose it makes sense, as you’d be hard pressed to find something more universally appealing than a really good word game, eh? Anyway, SpellTower is the latest game by Zach Gage to get a big ol’ update. So, in the previous update, SpellTower got Zen Mode, which is basically the core game but with anything that’d stress you out removed. The game has 11 modes in total, including favorites like Daily Tower, Zen, Rush, ExPuzzle, Bubble Puzzle, Blitz, and Double Puzzle. This update goes in the complete opposite direction with additions to the Tower game mode (which I always saw as the “core" mode of SpellTower). The puzzles also feature bonus tiles that will hook you with double word values. In SpellTower your primary objective is to score as many points as possible by finding as many high-value words as possible. The game collects high scores, detailed game statistics, leaderboards, and achievements, and supports iCloud backup. According to Zach, people were always asking him what a “good" score was in Tower mode, which was always sort of difficult to say because it’s a totally random game mode. Today’s update introduces a daily Tower, where each player plays with the exact same set of letters, allowing folks to directly face off for the highest score with a specific set of blocks on a specific day. To encourage competition, there’s a bunch of different awards you can earn depending on where you stack up against the rest of the players in that game as well as a few other statistics like your lifetime average score and other interesting tidbits for long-time players of the game. Hopefully Apple will fix it soon, but in the meantime, here is a workaround:ġ) Open "System Preferences" -> click the "Network" iconĢ) Choose your active internet connection from the list and click on "Advanced" on the right side of the windowģ) Click "DNS" at the top of the window then the "+" near the bottomĤ) add 8.8.8.8 to the DNS Servers section, also add 8.8.4.Additionally, the menu system has been tweaked a bit which comes with the added benefit of greatly reducing (if not eliminating) lag between switching in between the menu and the game. There is a rare bug in 10.8 that can cause Game Center to block game usage. GAME CENTER leader boards and achievements for each mode and highest scoring word!
