Impressive!

Thank goodness it's Friday!  For the past couple weeks, we here at MobilityWare have been swamped with work and preparation for MacWorld 2010 and that's led to some long and stressful days, but we did receive an email this week from a guy who had something rather impressive to share.

James Ryan of Austin, TX notified us that he reached a score of 1,000,000 in Word Warp! Very impressive indeed, thank you for letting us know and congratulations on reaching that milestone, James! 

James also asked what the all-time high score might be.  We're curious too!

MacWorld 2010

Hey guys, I just wanted to let you know that MobilityWare will be attending MacWorld 2010, on February 11-13, 2010 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.  If you didn't know, Macworld is the premier showcase of Apple products and related technologies, and is an absolute blast to attend.  One new feature that is being added to MacWorld this year is the Mobile Application Showcase, which is a special show floor area completely dedicated to iPhone apps, and you can definitely count on us being there!

Why Word Warp Xtreme is a NEW application!

Just to let you know, Word Warp Xtreme is NOT just an updated version of Word Warp.  We're sure we are going to be asked that question and the answer, like in many cases, while there are some trade-offs, we thought it would be better for most of our users.

First of all, remember, the existing Word Warp game that users currently have, will continue to function normally and users can still continue to play it if they choose.  However, if they want to take advantage of the new features that we've been talking about the past week or so, they are going to need to download the application we've been featuring, Word Warp Xtreme.

Different Versions for Different Folks

MobilityWare fans are probably aware that MobilityWare likes to offer its users choices.  For instance, many of our applications have free and paid versions.  Word Warp is one of those applications; we offered a free application that contained ads, while a paid application did not have ads at all. 

With Word Warp Xtreme, we again offer our users choices.  However, because of changes made by Apple, we now have to do so differently.  There is only one Word Warp Xtreme application in the App Store.  Users may download it FOR FREE and play it for as long as they want.  Yes, there are ads in this base version of Word Warp Xtreme.  However, if you decide that you really like Word Warp Xtreme but don’t want the ads, we offer an option where you can upgrade to a version that does not have ads.

Suggesting/Reporting Words

Remember the series of blog posts we did responding to comments made in the App Store about Word Warp?  Remember the most controversial series…the one where we addressed those who questioned the authenticity of the words used in Word Warp?  (It's found here in case you wanted to refresh your memory). 
While we think we answered that issue fairly well in the blog post (the answer again is, NO, the words are NOT made up) we decided to include a feature in Word Warp Xtreme that those conspiracy theorists may find rather useful – the option to suggest a word or report a word.

Community!

If I had a dime for every time I read a tweet that said something along the lines of, "I've achieved Word Warp greatness with a score of ____ points and I dare anybody to beat that," I'd be leaning back, relaxing, and sipping bottles of beer in Aruba, debating whether or not I should text Steve Jobs and tell him to step his game up.  Unfortunately, that scenario only exists in Corona commercials and I don't think I'll ever be competing with Steve Jobs. BUT, we did make sure to include a feature that will impact the number of people boasting about their scores. I'm not going to lie, I love and appreciate reading all of the tweets, but sometimes I wish there was a way for people to actually know how their score stacks up against others.
