Letterpress by Loren Brichter of Atebits

This game rules.<p>It's fun, it's easy to play and it's got the kind of interface that feels very simple but actually has insane attention to detail.<p>Edit: You don't have to use only contiguous letters, if you've played a lot of Scramble that may take some getting used to.

It's one hell of a good looking app and according to an article on The Verge it apparently clocked in at under 7k LOC. Looking forward to seeing what comes out of Atebits over the coming years.

I really like this take on asynchronous gameplay UI, it's tough get the "glance" aspect of the UI correct and yet make it compelling. The "Draw Something" problem where you're drowning in partially played games perhaps led to it's demise, a victim of the UI's inability to scale?<p>(Sigh... should have spent more time studying design / HCI in school...)

Good lord the App Store search is lame. I get three results when searching for "Letterpress" and this game isn't among them. In fact, I just spent about 5 minutes trying to find this game at all and I can't. Boo.

Very fun/cool UI. It's surprisingly reminiscent of Metro, err, Windows 8 Style UI. You could wrap an iPhone in some clumsy metal/plastic Windows phone wrapper from a year ago and you'd have no idea what OS was powering this.

Very fun and beautiful game, just tried it out. I also like the solution that you can play up to 2 games for free, and then you can pay for it to be able to play more at the same time.

I love the app, but this isn't how you win friends on the internet: <a href="http://cl.ly/image/0Y401a2D1c2R" rel="nofollow">http://cl.ly/image/0Y401a2D1c2R</a> ;)

I'm going to love this game right up until someone creates a cheating app/site.

I was playing this game all afternoon. Ten I came home and turned my phone off silent. Wow. The attention to detail in the sound effects want me to go back to my review and give it another star.
