800 points + the inevitable repeated puzzle (which can be fixed by spending more points on new puzzles) = nope.

Damn, really thought this was gonna be 400 points. Passing on this if the 800 points price is true.

I'm interested in the local multiplayer aspect. I don't know about $10 though. I'll have to try the demo.

Meh, maybe for 400. It does have some interesting stuff since the word puzzle is 3D so in one level on the demo the words are on a cube that you have to rotate. But in the end it's still just a word puzzle.

This could be fun if done right, but for a game that pushes you to do this quickly, the controls just don't feel responsive enough. And to repeat what everyone else has said, holy crap, $10 for word find?
