Hi Hunters, a little bit of history about Lexicolor:
I happen to be a father of twin girls. I always liked iPad games that allowed my girls to play together at the same time (like Olo, Ready Steady Bang, Red Hands), and I was at the same time fascinated by the brilliancy of the controls in Letterpress.
So, I decided to mix the two concepts in a quick prototype, almost five years ago. I kinda forgot about it for some time, but I realised over time that all my family was playing the prototype quite frequently, and really seemed to enjoy it.
So, finally, after five years, I decided to finalize the prototype, enhance its design, and put the game on the App Store, to allow more people to enjoy it.
And a last note: I have been working a lot on populationpyramid.net, a website providing useful data visualisations that are often used in interactive sessions in classrooms around the world. I do think that Lexicolor could be used too in such a setting, to playfully practice spelling and vocabulary skills.
That is my hope, at least.
