Alphabear is an educational puzzle game for AND, PC and iOS, in which players make words with available letter blocks. It is a work of American studio Spry Fox, who developed title like Road Not Taken and Triple Town, and distributed as free-to-play title, with virtual currency being replaced with honey.
Game mechanics
As said before, Alphabear’s gameplay comes down to making words using letter that are given by the game, resulting in titular bears appearing that unlock more blocks. As the game progresses, bears overtake the entire screen and combine into bigger ones, giving more bonuses that can be used in future games. The problem is that every letter remains on the field for a limited number of turns (with each round being defined as one word being made). If players fail to use a block, it stays on the board, limiting the growth of bears.
Game modes
Alphabear for AND, PC and iOS offers a few game modes, with bigger or smaller boards, time limit on or off etc. Interestingly, those modes aren’t permanent and change each day.
Technical aspects
For a simple puzzle game, Alphabear stands out from other titles for AND, PC and iOS with its colorful and good-looking visuals.
