Idea

The idea of the game originally comes from the classic word game Scrabble. MooCow combines Scrabble elements with those from Bookworm Adventures, a word adventure game by PopCap games.

The original Scrabble, oh so manual

Adventuring with the Bookworm

The idea is to form words from a 4×4 grid of letters, so 16 letters. New letters are generated to the place of used ones from a pool used in Scrabble. Differing from the originals in MooCow user playes against time. Committing proper words increases the timer according to the length and letters used in the word. Same principles also apply to the scoring.

MooCow gives the player a nice, cow friendly environment to practise their wording skills. You can now enjoy cows even if you're allergic!

MooCow has a build in dictionary containing over 128000 words and of course the awesomest special effects available on the market! Ask yourself how can you live without the rotating buttons? You'll want them all your Android apps from now on!
