If you’re a fan of iPhone gaming, this has been an exciting week for you. Not only did Bethesda finally release its Hearthstone competitor The Elder Scrolls: Legends on iPad, but Zach Gage (the game designer behind the great SpellTower) launched an addictive new word puzzler called TypeShift on the App Store as well.

Even if you don’t normally download games on your phone or tablet, I recommend you try both.

Crash of Cars

Welcome to Crash of Cars, a REAL-TIME MULTIPLAYER game where your goal is to collect as many crowns as possible before getting destroyed.

Use power-ups and smash into opponents to destroy them; then swoop in and take any crowns that they drop. Be careful though, the more crowns you collect, the bigger your bounty becomes – making you a bigger target for other players to destroy!

Can you climb the hourly leaderboards?

KEY FEATURES:
– 4 Maps to enjoy REAL TIME Multiplayer battles
– 30+ unlockable cars across 4 different rarities (Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary)
– 30+ Skins to customise your cars with. Pepperoni Skin on the Camper Van is quite a tasty choice.
– 16 upgradable Power-Ups, including a flamethrower, cannon, trebuchet, and more.
– Play with Friends feature. There’s nothing more fun than destroying your friends :)
– Mission System
– Hourly Leaderboard and Game Center Support
– Single Player mode also available
– New Content Coming Soon!

TypeShift

From the creator of SpellTower, comes a new and completely original word game!
Anagrams meets Word Search, with a sprinkle of Crosswords.

Typeshift is the modern anagram puzzle; re-imagined from the ground up, combining wordplay, modern game design, and a mobile-first approach.

In most anagram games, you search for new combinations within a single word, but in Typeshift, you search within three to five words stacked & scrambled up together.

Shift columns of letters up and down as you try to spell words in the center row. Play continues until you have used all letters in a puzzle at least once.

Special Clue Puzzles combine Crosswords with Anagrams as you match clever clues provided by Typeshift’s various puzzle authors.

– Daily Word Game Play with Global Leaderboards –

Typeshift features a free daily challenge with global leaderboards. The easiest challenge for the week appears on Monday, and progressively more challenging puzzles build throughout the week.

Compare your fastest Typeshift daily solving times with players around the globe!
