What's Playing app review: a challenging word game

Reviews

Introduction

If you're a sucker for word games then this is a fun one for you. The What's Playing app can be enjoyed on your iPad, iPod touch, and iPhone and is played by giving you an animated clue. From this animation you must then guess the word. The premise is extremely simple, however, guessing the correct word is far from easy. This game is fun as a casual game or you can easily get lost in it for much more time. The animations are all hand-drawn pictures which results in even more of a challenge for you.

Addictively and Simple Gameplay

Not every game has to have layers of elements and features to it, or a deep backstory with multiple characters. Some games can be incredibly simplistic yet just as good, or better than, their more-involved counterparts. This is exactly the case with this app which is why it receives such incredibly high customer ratings. Users love how easy it is to play and the challenge it offers as you try your best to guess the word.

This game offers you a whopping 600 stages, which means you won't be clearing the game anytime soon. There are some in-app purchases of stars that range in price from $0.99 to $9.99. Stars can be used to help you solve the puzzles. The app also had a recent update that included a number of bug fixes and some improvements to the tutorial so you can learn easier and quicker.

 

What's All the Fuss About

So what's all this fuss about? Well I have to say I am right on-board with the other users that give this app some very high marks and plenty of praise. First off I love that the moment you open the app you can start to play the game. There is no annoying registration process or anything like that. Just open it and play. I also really enjoy the hand-drawn animations; this is not only unexpected and fun, but I find it makes the clue even more challenging to guess.

Let's also point out that you can connect to Facebook, which allows you to see how your friends are doing. If you find yourself getting stuck and you don't want to purchase stars, ask for help on Twitter and Facebook. Don't worry, if you find some of the puzzles too easy they do get harder so you don’t want to start feeling over-confident.
