- Bookworm Adventures has been erased from the internet, and I want to know why - 11 May 2020
Past Perfect is a retrospective column in which we look back into gaming history to see whether old favourites are still worth playing today. There’s been a murder. And no one seems to have noticed. One of my favourite ever games, released during the peak of PopCap’s glory days, is simply gone. Not just no longer on sale, but seemingly erased from history, from the current timeline. Bookworm Adventures (and it’s sequel), the adorable word-spelling combat game, has been Shazammed right out of existence. (more…)

- Letter Quest Remastered Info - 24 July 2015
Hi everyone! I recently posted an announcement with some details about the new Letter Quest Remastered release that is coming on August 5, 2015. I wanted to let everyone know that Letter Quest Remastered will be completely free for everyone that owns Letter Quest. I hope everyone enjoys the new features and changes in Letter Quest Remastered, it's been a six month labor of love, and I'm really happy with how it turned out! Every time you finish a game in the new endless mode you will get a custom image showing the details of how you did. I hope to see some awesome scores and amazing words posted once the game is released. Here's an example image to show you what I mean: http://i.imgur.com/85lmuF8.png Letter Quest Remastered will support Linux right from day one! It was completely rewritten with Unity, and should support all resolutions and run super efficiently! I'm able to get a solid…

- Letter Quest Update v2.4.2 - 17 January 2015
This is a minor Letter Quest update with a few bug fixes and a few new additions, including a new weapon! http://i.imgur.com/Q8dNRIx.png Changes: Added a 10th weapon to the game, that increases the amount of HP that potions restore Added almost 100 new words and definitions to the game's dictionary Fixed up the definitions of over 500 words (I do this manually, word-by-word!) Changed the description of the stat and achievement for destroying treasure chests to be more clear by indicating that it's for actually failing to open that many treasure chests, sorry for the confusion! Bug Fixes: Fixed a bug with the sixth set of letter tiles where the letters were too far down on the letters, and looked really broken when on a flipped tile Fixed a store bug that could cause a crash in really rare circumstances (thanks to the person that reported this and helped me test the fix!)

- Letter Quest Color Blind Update v2.4.1 - 29 December 2014
This is a minor Letter Quest update with a few bug fixes and, as requested by a few players, a change to make the letter tile rarities identifiable by players that are color blind. Instead of each letter just having a single dot in the bottom-right that is bronze, silver, or gold, there is now 1-3 dots that are still in those colors, so that letter rarities can be identified by either the color, or the number of dots. Hopefully this helps out the color blind players! Please let me know if there's anything else that needs changing! :) http://i.imgur.com/16Fn3AW.png Changes: Letter tiles now have 1-3 dots in the bottom-right to indicate letter rarities (so that color blind players can identify the letter rarities) Bug Fixes: Fixed a crash bug if quit/restarted a stage while a treasure chest was being destroyed Fixed a bug with the final level of the "more gems from defeated monsters" book…

Hi everyone! So far it seems like everyone has really been enjoying Letter Quest, and that is so great to hear! A huge thank you to everyone that has helped out by pointing out issues, missing words/incorrect definitions, and helping to solve problems - you guys (and girls!) are awesome! I just released an update, see below for details! Changes: Added over 200 new words to the dictionary Updated incorrect/weird definitions of almost 300 words in the dictionary - thanks to everyone that pointed these out! Whenever at the pile of gems at the end of each stage, the bottom-right panel explains that you earn more gems by spelling longer/better (more rare letters) words since this wasn't made clear before Added details about the bronze, silver and gold icons on letters to the center tile's help icon Grimm and Rose now flash colors much more slowly (and less harshly) when low on health, since…
