DeepLeap: The Fast-Paced Time-Wasting Word Game!

Still being developed, definitely awesome. I got above 600 at work today

 

[Thora]

Holy crap - addicting is right! I like games like these - good find!

 

[Sicy]

 

[Thora]

Just got 590 - best so far.

 

[dan_smee]

[beegee]

558 on my first try, woo!

 

[Carek1230]

well done! I can see I will quickly become addicted to this, 589 best so far.

 

[Varitek]

588, closer to 600. wish i could remember my score from work.

 

[Carek1230]

you ARE addicted already!

 

[Varitek]

661!!!!! braize for 140 points as my 4th word (only a multiplier 1.3, but i couldn't hold it any longer), and lots of k's towards the end. it was glorious. now i'm going to bed satisfied.

the letters should be appearing on the screen. see the text box? type words from those letters into the box and hit enter for points. if the letter on the left starts going red, you're about to lose it (and some points).

 

[beegee]

Braize...nice!

After playing three or four times I was freaking out a little but now that I've had a break...

 

[Bonogirl777]

this is soooo addicting.

 

[dan_smee]

hmm, i open it and a dialogue box pops up straight away saying "Stack overflow at line 158"

No box or anything at all. just a white page with some writing about how its a test version

Would you like to take another question or spin the Wheel of Mayhem?

Did you try opening it in Firefox? Internet Explorer was just a text box, but Firefox was the actual game.

I get the same thing with Internet Explorer. I'm afraid to go there, as I will never get any work done. I'm already a Word Twist addict on Facebook

 

[beegee]

How can I make words out of vowels only

 

[MsPurrl]

I'm not listening to you people. lalalalalalalalalalalala

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Damn. Good find, Varitek. Shit is addicting. My highest so far is something like 550. It reminds of that game Text Twist. Anyone play that? It's awesome.

 

[Laura M]

I can't play it Having the same issues as Dan Smee.

 

[Varitek]

yeah, it has similarities to text twist, which i love. gonna have to crack and buy that one for my ipod if it's available at some point.

as for the strings of vowels and consonants, it's just in beta or whatever and the author says on the metafilter page s/he is gonna protect against that. in the mean time, loo, eel, ere, see, etc are your friends. But they do require 1 consonant.

This kinda slows me down cause it makes me think more, but

vaz, this is just what i needed. thanks. and by just what i needed, i meant the opposite of that.

 

[Varitek]

i got an 853 on game 600. basically i noticed you can replay games if you click on the number, and 600 is full of really good letters, so i played it about 8 times trying to get the best score i could. new way of approaching the game

and yeah, the letter point values slow me down. oops.

 

[dazzlingamy]

517 is my best so far
what does the multiplier bit mean? Should you wait to get more letters for a bigger score?

i get the same error

 

[u2shamrock]

Try it in Firefox

 

[UberBeaver]

I got 606. It also locked up my firefox. A little pop up box wouldn't go away no matter how many times I clicked on it.

ETA - 630. I got "queen". That was a big one.
