BOOKWORM GAME ONLINE PC

For people who played the PC version, it'll take about 5-7 hours to get to Bookworm Supreme. You can keep playing, but aside from making cool words, there's no sense of accomplishment or reward anymore. You just get Bookworm Supreme ove rand over again. However, once you get to 1.75 million or so, the game stops giving you new levels. You play as much as you want, and you can save at any point, so you can come back whenever you want. However, this doesn't mean you won't play the hell out of the game. There isn't any 'campaign' as Bookworm is a puzzle game. From the catchy music to the voice clips of Lex saying 'Welcome to Bookworm!' and 'Look out!' and 'Excellent!', the sound is yet another way this version of Bookworm is faithful to its PC version. The music is exactly the same as the PC version. The graphics are occasionally blurry and jagged, but you can still see your score and the letters, so this matters not. Though, more people have a GBA SP than a normal GBA, so this isn't a problem. The letters are easy to read, and so are all the numbers- provided you have a GBA SP. It's just the same PC board shrunken down, but it looks nice. It's just the same board the whole time, but it looks faithful to the PC version. Hitting Select scrambles all the tiles on the board- and causes flaming tiles to appear-, and hitting Start brings up the menu, which lets you save the game, enable/disable the music, and go back to the main menu. Hitting the 'B' button is like 'backspace' per se, and erases a letter each time you press it. You move over each tile with your D-pad, you actually select each tile with the A button, and you double-press the A button when over a letter to enter a word with that letter if you have a word made out of tiles (if you don't, it doesn't mess you up- it just makes a noise and doesn't enter the word). You will think you'll get bored with it, as I did at first when I played the PC version, but you will get addicted and hypnotized to the point that you see the board in your dreams. It seems boring or easy, but it's far from it! It's lively, challenging, addictive, and just plain fun. You have to string together words out of the tiles, which is the basis of the gameplay.

However, the game is still a puzzle game. Do you want to wait until it reaches the bottom so you can use it with the QU and T tiles at the bottom, or do you want to use it now so your green H under it is spared? If you use it now, will it mess up the setup you have for a long word towards the top for which you only need one letter, or will it work out fine? It may seem silly, but this is as much a strategy game past the third level or so than it is a puzzle game.

This adds a level of strategy to the game. Each 'round' that you don't use a burning tile, it burns the tile underneath it. You have to use these before they get to the bottom of the board, and if you don't, you lose. On the contrary, some letters are on fire. You want to use these tiles in long words as they add to the value of each letter and make the word worth alot more points. Some tiles, if you make a bunch of long words in a row, become green, gold, or other fancy colors, and give you extra points if you use them. The more points you get, the more you level up and the harder the game gets. The longer the word, the more points you get. You have to string together tiles, each of a letter, to make words. In the game, Lex the Bookworm is hungry, so you have to feed him tiles in a library. I had the PC version, but I just had to buy the GBA version. Now, they've ported the game over the GBA for a retail price of $20. This is just one of the things that makes the game so fantastic. Bookworm is different from the others, as instead of luck you need pure skill to survive. They make such classics as Bejewled, Mummy Maze, Zuma, InsaniQuarium, and the game I'm reviewing now, Bookworm.
