Work on the Word Fall 1.1 update is almost complete and so I thought I’d blog about the biggest change to the game: unlockable achievements.

After several months of hard work, Word Fall is just about ready to be sent off to Apple. All that remains is for Nick to put the finishing touches on the sound effects and music, and then it will be all set to begin the approval process. This should all be taken care of by next week, but in the meantime I’m going to work on fleshing out this website and creating some promotional videos. Exciting times!
