Word Pads is a new action word game done in Flash with a tropical theme. Similar to games like WEBoggle, except played as a single-player experience, the object of Word Pads is to form English words to score points by clicking on the lily pads in a race against the clock. Words of 3 or more letters are safe, but words of 4 or more letters only score points. The longer the word, the more points it is worth. Letters do not have to be on adjacent pads, and forming words of more than 5 letters creates a golden lily pad that acts as a score multiplier for future words formed with it. Misspell a word or run out of time and you lose a lily pad. The game is over when you run out of lily pads. A high score list provides the challenge of a competitive element.
The game is a new offering from Shawn at Hot Flash Games, the same Flash developer who created the awesome Asteroids clone: Hot Rocks, highlighted here previously.
hey, no comments! how old is this game, then? :)
this game is pretty much fun only one time through, if that. the end is really frustrating because you get stuck having to make words like OUIOL because there's only two lillypads. oh well.
