WORSE THAN DEATH is a scary, emotional thriller about a high school reunion that goes horribly wrong. As Holly runs for her life, desperate to rescue her best friend Flynn from a terrible force that's hunting them both, she must survive unexpected truths about her home town, her friends, and even herself.
The game is still expected to come to PlayStation 4, Switch, and Steam and considering the game is obviously finished, hopefully we don’t have to long to wait. You can download Worse Than Death on iOS right here for $5.49 CAD.
Rocketship Park out of St. Catharines Ontario announced yesterday their next game, this time a word puzzle game. Word Forward has you using all the letters in a 5x5 grid to make words disappear and clear the board:
Word Forward isn’t about spelling the longest words or the most clever - it’s about carefully using every tile to declare victory in 500 puzzles. It requires cunning and strategy -- Word Forward is a brain teaser that will really make you think!
Word Forward comes hot off the heels of re-releasing Block Droppin on iOS. Word Forward will hit iPhone, Apple TV, and Android phones May 22nd. If you’re an Android user you can pre-register for the game right here.
We’re excited to announce that Word Forward will be the next game from Rocketship Park! An App Store classic from @egvroom, we’ve rebuilt this puzzler from the ground up using #madewithunity. Coming May 22 to the @AppStore, @GooglePlay *and* @AppleTV. pic.twitter.com/Y9m4lgcIHZ
