If you’re looking for a challenge, you’ve found it. The object of the game is to guide your white cubes around the screen in order to avoid colliding with the pastel colored cubes. Things are complicated by the fact that your two cubes mirror each other’s movements. If you can survive long enough, you’ll be aided by a brief but powerful shield, allowing you to smash through the colored cubes and earn bonus points. You can also share the experience with a friend on iPad.

You have 60 seconds to create as many valid words as possible. The game also includes online and pass and play multiplayer modes.
