Waggle Words iPhone X Update

by Elliott Mitchell | Nov 3, 2017 | ARKit, Waggle Words

We’re proud to announce that Waggle Words (1.0.5) now supports the iPhone X and is available on the App Store now!

A bunch of thought and testing went into adapting Waggle Word’s user interface (UI) to the new iPhone X’s screen aspect ratio, camera notch and home indicator UI. We’re pleased with the extra screen real estate and think you will be too!

The iPhone X is a sweet piece of technology; all the better to play Waggle Words in Augmented reality! And for those that have older, and slightly sluggish devices, the iPhone X will play Waggle Words like a fiddle; fast, nimble and without hesitation! You won’t be disappointed!

Christine Chan - AppAdvice

“Waggle Words is a nice hidden gem among the App Store in recent weeks. I’m always up for a good word game, and this one is definitely a new favorite. I love the exquisite graphics and amazing sound design. Casual is the mode that I’m enjoying the most, but Daily gives me something to look forward to each day, and Speed is a real test. The power-ups provide variety and can change the tide of the game, helping you get closer to clearing out board. Replay value is high with this one, and I’ll be coming back to Waggle Words for a long time.”

“However, Waggle Words excels amongst it’s peers in a far more unconventional and unexpected way for puzzle games – with some pretty ridiculous graphical effects.”

More Kind Words - TouchArcade

“Waggle Words works as both a showcase of the iPhone’s potential and an engrossing option for puzzle game fans, and hopefully will open the floodgates for even more similar titles pushing the boundaries of what mobile is capable of.”
