** FEATURES **
* FUN CHARACTERS - Watch as Scroodles are drawn to life at the start of each level, then create words to erase them! Every Scroodle is colorfully illustrated and animated with individual voices and character profiles!
* UNIQUE OPPONENTS - Each Scroodle has unique stats for health, intelligence, and speed. Some Scroodles also cast ‘Word Spells’ requiring smart strategies to defeat.
* POWERUPS - Randomly generated powerups add fresh fun every round. Can you find a way to use that 'P' in a word to freeze a Scroodle?
* GAME BOARD MADNESS - Every level has a different 'board' layout, such as Double Word or Triple Letter. Can you find a way to use a 'Q' on the Double Letter square for huge points?!
* COMPETE WITH FRIENDS - See how you measure up against your Facebook friends with level-based leaderboards!
Now a note from the Wizard:
"Hey Dummy, someone with your IQ should really spend their time watching chickens get hit by cars or matching colored shapes. Don't bother with this game, my Scroodles are too smart."
So are you ready for the challenge? Are you smarter than the Scroodles?

Need more plays

Great game but I wish there was a way to get more stars so I could play more. The option "Get stars from friends on Facebook" does not work
Another good game screwed up by the programmers...

Really started enjoying the game until the usual obvious mistake was made. Time limit... why? Why why why? Stupid mistake, at least allow those of us that want to disable it the option! Dumb mistake, deleted.
Wow. I love this!!

This is so beautiful. Finally my spelling skills come in handy in combat. I love this game!!
Entertaining

Entertaining game - teaching me words I didn't even know! Challenging the brain in a fun way. Frustrating at times - but stick with it. My one small complaint is not being able to read hints quick enough. Other than that - fun!

From what planet do you get your words? My word "tubs" wasn't in your dictionary, but your "ger' was. I've seen words not of the English language. I deliberately misspelled a word and it was accepted! Could be fun, but these alien words make it difficult to play intelligently. The higher the level, the more ridiculous the Scroodles' non-words get so you run out of lives. Booooo!!
Addicting and challenging

Addicting and challenging! However, there are several words missing from the game's "dictionary". Also, it's VERY hard to earn coins. I've played almost up to the last level available. Still can't afford a good eraser. :(
Decent Game Although Flawed

Lots of potential here that's squashed by the Freemium model. About half of the time a level is impossible to win due to not getting appropriate letters. Pair that with three measly 20 minute lives and you'll have this app sitting unused far longer than you play it. Most Freemium games I'll drop five or so bucks on to keep trucking but the prices here are absurd. Almost beat that level? 80 coins ($1.00) for a 50% health bonus when some levels have taken over 20 tries would make me go broke! When you do actually get to play the game it's fantastic. Sure the enemy plays take some time but it makes it all the sweeter to erase those buggers. The variety of Scroodle characters is very impressive as well as all the different kinds of power-ups. A few changes I would make: get rid of the letter 'Q' as the chances of getting a matching 'U' are low let alone being able to make a decent word with them, give players five lives, increase the advantages of purchased erasers for more incentive to pay cash for coins, allow at least one free shuffle per level, add a button to skip enemy animations, replace the wonky dictionary with something more proper, and create more opportunities to earn coins. Will any improvements be made so that players get to play this game for longer than a few minutes at a time? One can wish. Unfortunately, Scroodles at this point is just another flawed game only a few tweaks away from 5 stars collecting dust in your games folder.
Addicting

It's a fun take on scrabble, I only wish there was a jumble the letters option rather than just getting a new set of letters. Still very fun!
Agreed it needs adjusting

While this game has high potential, it has quirks that do need attention. All of the complaints about the dictionary used in the game are correct. On what planet is "HEEZE" even a word? The same goes for the letters thrown out to use- sometimes "death" is your only option because there is no way to use all of the letters given at times to reach tiles that boost your "attack". 3 letter words don't do much when all of the booster tiles are at the end of the space to fill in and with 3 scroodles taking turns at you, you end up going through lives quickly. The issue about the stars to unlock levels is also spot on. You'd have to be perfect to reach other levels. And now that I've cheated my way to the end of the latest update, I'm left wondering when the new update will come out. So I'll be like another reviewer and just go back and try to reach the maximum star limits for each level so when the new update does take effect, I can just unlock the new level and find out what treats are in store. Fun game, fun themes.
