Word Game W.E.L.D.E.R. Getting Multiplayer Update

Our rating: starstarstarstarblankstar :: WONDROUS WORDPLAY :: Read Review »

The game W.E.L.D.E.R. is a strategic, word building puzzle game in which players gain points by swapping letter tiles to complete the longest words possible and using various power ups to achieve higher scores and longer words within a randomly generated field of letters.

On June 21st, developer Ayopa Games is expected to release a major update to their popular word game. This update will include a new multiplayer mode for the game that will allow players to play W.E.L.D.E.R. against their friends or random opponents via Game Center. This new multiplayer mode will allow players to go head to head, chat, use power ups to their advantage or to their opponent's disadvantage, and even watch as their opponent's moves.

In addition to multiplayer, this update will also include many changes to the game overall, including an undo button on the iPhone version, new prices for the Wrench powerup, and a new "Weld of the Day" word that will award players an extra Gigawatt bonus when it is built that same day.
