• 1.0.6 New Leaderboard System! - 12 June 2024

  Hello all! A new leaderboard system has been implemented, you should not notice any changes on your end other than it should work now! Unfortunately, the leaderboard system I was using previously started to have a lot of down time and would cause issues such as player scores showing up multiple times and different users on one device having scores override. The new system should not have any of these issues and also allows me some more data on the backend to ensure scores are legit. I have uploaded all of the scores from the previous system to the new system so your placements should all be as they were. If you happened to get a new high-score during the downtime, just send me a screenshot of your game and we can get your score on there. The only downside of the new system is that it currently only allows for 25 entries, for now that is not an issue, but some of you will get booted off…

• 1.0.5 - 11 June 2024

  Fixed Leaderboard Issue Sorry for all the issues over the weekend. I tried to organize the code a bit better and created a new Game Modes Manager which caused the Game Modes to not be set correctly so they became unplayable. This also caused an issue where the game did not realize classic mode was active which is what was causing leaderboard scores to not update. This has all been resolved. If you have a new high-score that is not reflected in the leaderboard, please post a screenshot from your stats page of the new score and I will amend the leaderboard on the backend. Mike Davis Jr.

• 1.0.4 - 11 June 2024

  My last update caused a bug that made versus and challenge modes not playable, this has been resolved. Mike Davis Jr.

• 1.0.3 - 10 June 2024

  Fixed bug where game would no longer spawn letters after a power-up is used to create a big combo.* Improved random letter generation** Added UI notification on profile settings when you try to delete profile data without first checking the box Added UI notification on profile settings when you delete profile data to confirm deletion occurred Game now saves after deleting profile data so changes take effect immediately rather than on next save Fixed bug where Time Attack Mode: Most Words Created stat was not reset on data deletion * The freezing issue occurred when a power-up would cause several tiles to shift and eventually create words and potentially make combos. The old code allowed 1.5 seconds after using a power-up to check for created words. So the issue occurred when there were many tiles on screen and several words created causing more movement and if movement and words were st…

• Leaderboard Issue - 7 June 2024

  Hello all, Thanks to those of you who have already started playing Down Word! I just wanted to address issues with the leaderboard. Currently I'm using an external tool to manage the leaderboard and the issues that I thought were addressed are starting to occur again. Issues: Multiple entries per player Players using the same system on different profiles overwriting each others scores Going to try and switch over to the Steamworks integrated leaderboard system over the weekend and hopefully transfer all of the scores currently on the leaderboard over to the new system. Originally I stayed away from the Steamworks integrated leaderboard because Down Word was intended to be a multiplatform release, however this is no longer the case. I'm hoping this change should also allow me to add in leaderboards for the different challenge modes which is currently not possible. I will post an update a…

• 1.0.2 The Profanity Update (Added ****, $#@!, and REDACTED) - 7 June 2024

• Version 1.0.1 - 7 June 2024

  Fixed leaderboard display issue where long usernames were running over their line.
