About Fall Words

This game is an ideal example of hard physics puzzle games. The goal of the game is simple — to collect all the stars by falling words. To do this you need to be a typing master: type letters in the right places and drop them by pressing enter! Letters have different shapes and physics and based on that there are various mechanics in the game: bridge, domino, hanging, rolling and more! You can come up with your solution, so be creative and don't be afraid to think outside the box! Unlike other brain teaser games with repetitive levels, I have designed each puzzle to be unique and challenging. This is also a romantic puzzle game with a love story behind it! A male alien met a female alien and exchanged contact with her and they proceeded conversation in a Messenger. To answer correctly a player must type the right letters and after sending the message the letters will fall like physical objects. There are stars in the game levels that a player must collect by the falling letters. If all the stars are collected, the message is positive and the level is completed. It is not only a physics puzzle game for adults but can be equally enjoyed by all age groups. If you are a fan of good puzzle games like “brain it on”, and “brain dots” this physics-based game is made for you. I hope you enjoy Fall Words!

Why it is worth playing

The reason Fall Words holds up is restraint: it takes one idea — puzzle — and builds the whole game around it instead of padding it out. That is the whole pitch, and it is enough.
