IsoWords 1.1 is live, 1.1.1 is coming
25 Feb
The IsoWords 1.1 update went live on the App Store this past monday (Feb 22nd), so grab it if you haven’t already. I also dropped the price to $.99. The leaderboards seem to be very popular, with over 10,000 games and words submitted so far. It’s interesting seeing how good some people are at this game. In the Spanish version a player found the 11 letter word DESCANSARAS, which is pretty amazing, and in the English version a player broke the 1,000 point barrier in free play games.
I am very happy with the 1.1 update, but I quickly saw a few small shortcomings with the leaderboards once everyone started submitting their scores. For this reason I have just sent a small update to Apple with a few cosmetic changes.
The leaderboards show only the very top scores (top 20 for games and top 40 for words), so it was a little frustrating to not know out of how many games/words I was being ranked. So, the leaderboards now have a little header that give precisely this information (by the way, I’m dominating the word leaderboard 
)
Next, after playing the daily challenge you are taken to the game over screen with a little purple box at the bottom showing your current rank. When I saw this I immediately wanted know the scores of everyone else who had participated so far. So, now there is a button to bring the daily challenge calendar up directly from the game over screen.
Finally, I got a request from a Touch Arcade forum member to add an option for disabling all sounds in the game. This can now be done in the settings menu.
If anyone else has suggestions on how to improve the game I would love to hear them.
