Word Vine is a very interesting word puzzle game. The objective of the game is to link all the words availabe in such a fashion that every two words make sense when linked together. For example the word Stop when linked with the words Bus and Watch make meaningful words like Bus Stop, Stop Watch.
If you succeed in finding the root word, then you can easily pair words. The game begins at a basic level and proceeds towards adavanced levels. As you clear each level, the complexity increases.
You just have to drag and drop the words into the branch and also to arrange them in the right order.
Here is an example of one level of this game. As you see the words on the left. The branch is not quite visible in the image below:
Here is another image where the words have been dragged and dropped into the branch:
When you succeed in linking words correctly, you get the time you used to solve the puzzle and the score.
What I liked About the Game
Word Vine uses a word game that might not be new to anyone. Yet the presentation idea is creative. The game does not use high end graphics. As you notice the interface is plain and simple. But then the game is really engrossing.
Let me list the interesting points in this game:
You do not have to know what two words will make sense together. You can drag and drop the words, identify the root word and try linking words with the root word. There is a lot of scope for trial and error this way though you get the score depending on how much time you took to solve the puzzle.
Also the game play becomes easy and pain free. It would have been painful, had it been that you have to drag and drop the words in the correct fashion in the first instance or even if you had to drag and drop the word back and forth to achieve the correct order.
As you pair words, the colour of the words keep changing. If it is red, then it indicates wrong pairs. If it is yellow, then there is some positive sign. Green indicates success. This way you are not lost. You get a hint on how successful you have been. I think this is a very creative idea. If these color indications were not there, the game would not have been interesting.
I think Word Vine is a good illustration of how you can innovate on exisiting stuff.
