Oh, My Word! 2: Critical Reaction

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

Oh, My Word! 2 is the best thing to happen to videogaming since Nolan Bushnell walked in to a San Francisco bar with Pong, however would you believe some people have to be told how it is? It’s true.

Luckily, the internet is full of professionals who like to offer critical insight and they’re always on hand to let the world know how good (or bad) things are. So here is, warts and all, a round up of the critical reception received by our latest magnum opus:

Oh, My Word! 2 might fly under the radar of many gamers. A lack of guns, explosions and fancy 3D graphics might immediately write the game off for many, but these people were never the game’s target demographic. Saying this, the game certainly has wide appeal, and will surprise many who assumed beforehand that it wouldn’t be their cup of tea (like my good self). Give the game an inch however, and it’ll steal a mile; Oh, My Word! 2 is deceptively good fun. Word-puzzle fans shouldn’t think twice about snapping this up.

7/10

App Gamer review

Word game aficionados have cause to celebrate because Oh, My Word! 2 is now out for the iPhone and iPod touch… All in all, Mobile Pie does an extremely great job by coming up with a creative new take on a crowded genre that not only packs hours of diversion but is great to play anytime and anywhere!

4.75/5

App-reciation Reviews review

The result is a game that feels more like an update that rounds out a first attempt than a true sequel which expands the concept. Oh, My Word! 2 is a pleasant experience for word fiends, then, but more SOLID than SUPER.

6/10

Pocket Gamer review

Reviews are still coming in (especially on the App Store page), but generally the impression is very positive! What did you think? Let us know in the comments.

Oh, My Android Too!

Android is the Droid We're Looking For (For Oh, My Word! 2)

“Wahaaa! Get out of the way… It’s out of control! A massive unstoppable word-puzzle shapped purple juggernaut coming right this way! Save yourselves!”

Sit down, sit down! Don’t worry, there is no physical threat: This rather contrived metaphor is simply a roundabout way of announcing that our beloved Oh, My Word! 2 is under development for Google’s Android mobile phone platform.

It will be very similar its upcoming and totally chic iPhone twin, featuring the new game modes (Survival and Time Attack alongside Classic), bigger word list, sassy new purple design and new easy option.

We’re currently excitedly testing the very first build on our spanking new T-Mobile Pulse which we picked up today.

Watch this space for more details on it’s development and impending release date.

We might even be announcing something about other platforms too in the not so distant future…

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

Last week we announced that the sequel to our labour of love, Oh, My Word! is on its way before the end of the year. We also hinted that the graphics had received a slight overhaul: We’ve had our best man, Thomas ‘the T-dog’ Parry, all over the Photoshop with it and he’s done us proud once more.

Get your eyeballs feasting on these bad boys…

Press Release: Mobile Pie Announce Oh, My Word! Sequel with ngmoco’s Plus+

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Bristol, UK, 13th October 2009 – Tap ‘n’ Slide and B-Boy Brawl developers Mobile Pie today announced a sequel to their acclaimed iPhone and iPod touch word puzzler, Oh, My Word!

Oh, My Word! 2 follows on from the brain-box bendingly simple yet highly-addictive original, with Time Attack and Survival featuring alongside the Classic mode. The sequel also brings with it integration with the Plus+ Network.

Mobile Pie’s Creative Producer Will Luton said:

“Oh, My Word! 2 has been an absolute labour of love for us, we’ve enjoyed every minute of creating and playing this sequel and having the Plus+ Network is a real honor.”

The Plus+ Network is a social play service free to players that harnesses the iPhone OS 3.0 technology and enables players to create a persistent profile, challenge friends via social channels, compete for leaderboard glory, participate in game events and discover new games.

“We’ve built upon the original concept with Plus+ in mind, but it was a match made in heaven anyway because it straight away adds an entirely new competitive level to the fun”, said Luton.

Oh, My Word! 2 will be available at the nominal price of 59p / 99c or for free as an stripped down version featuring only the Classic game mode (Oh, My Word! 2 Free).

It is expected that OMW!2 will be released early November, however Mobile Pie are offering ad hoc preview version to selected media partners. Please contact Mobile Pie for further details.
