Zach Gage recently announced the Mac release of SpellTower, a word game previously available for iOS devices. In the game players score by creating words from a jumble of tiles in one of four game modes. SpellTower Mac features include a redesigned control scheme, Retina Macbook Pro support, and Mountain Lion Game Center functionality.

Find and select words in 4 challenging modes. Make long words or use bonus tiles to clear extra letters from the screen!

RE-IMAGINED FOR MAC

• Support For Retina MacBook Pro
  
• Supports Game Center in Mountain Lion (10.8)
  
• Three Ways To Control Make SpellTower Feel Great Even Without a Touch Screen!
  1. Hold and Drag
     
  2. Click Each Letter
     
  3. Click to start spelling, Click again to submit

WORDS + STRATEGY = AWESOME

Pick your words wisely! As you work, more tiles rise from the bottom of the screen, and it'll take all of your lexicological wits and tactical know-how to keep them down. If any of the letters make it to the top row, it's game over.

FOUR AMAZING MODES

• TOWER MODE : No pressure here. Try and get the highest score possible out of 150 letters, eliminating small words to set up 7- and 8-letter blockbusters!
  
• PUZZLE MODE : Every word you make adds a new row of letters! Strategic word finding at its best.
  
• EXTREME PUZZLE MODE : Puzzle mode with the minimum word length cranked up. Experts only!
  
• RUSH MODE : Rows of letters build up over time. Find words as fast as you can, but be careful you don't back yourself into a corner!
  
  GAME CENTER leader boards and achievements for each mode and highest scoring word!
