Words of Wonder - Walk-through for Levels 16 - 20 - Review and Commentary - July 2024
What does this video show?
This video shows Words of Wonder for the levels listed in the title.
What is Words of Wonder Pro?
Words of Wonder Pro is a Cross-word lite game where a group of letters are given and the player needs to fill the puzzle using only those letters given.
How to play
The player drags the pointer across the letters to make a combination. If this combination is a word, the player will be rewarded.
Review of the game?
The music is relaxing.
The concept is fine.
This game is good for those people where English is their primary language. Some of these words may not be known to non-native English speakers.
However the word list leaves much to be desired:
Some words are not known to the game - like MAGE.
Some words are known but their plural is not - GAME is acceptable and GAMES is not.
Some words are accepted in some levels but not in others.
The game considers SAGEM, GPS and DIY as words. They are not. (Sagem is the name of a French company and GPS is an acronym while DIY is shorthand for Do It Yourself.)
This game needs to reconsider its dictionary file. We used a Scrabble dictionary to find words which stumped us - and still got stumped.
What about advertisements?
When connected to the Internet, an advertisement will appear every 3 or so levels.
This game uses a cloud save feature over local storage. So if you enter airplane mode to play, remember to connect before you close out the game to keep your progress.
Any objectionable material?
You have to really go deep to find anything objectionable in a word sorting game. Words like SHIFT can be rearranged to have a naughty word shown. While the word is not counted as an acceptable word, or even a bonus word, some parents would be bothered if their young child accidentally saw it.
So what is the bottom line? Is this a worthwhile game?
As word puzzle games go, this is not a bad game - but with the aforementioned caveats. Just be warned that this game may frustrate you at times.
This game was advertised as having no ads. Absolutely false.
This game also appears to be “stolen” from Word Connect but with different backgrounds.

Warcraft Rumble - Heroic Missions - Map 18 Area 5 - Cairne Bloodhoof - July 2024
Heroic Missions are unlocked once the player has completed the requisite fifty (50) levels in adventure mode - through Tier 10 Map 5. In order to clear each Heroic Mission, each boss must be defeated by a leader from each faction. In other words, five (5) separate defeats. This is made more difficult as the mini levels for each boss is increased by ten (10), in addition to other unique effects that these bosses have. We show how to defeat each boss with each and every faction. When defeating a heroic boss, the player receives a major tome of the leader's faction.

Adventure Ages - From Tier 18.5 to 19.4 - July 2024
Adventure Ages is the 3rd idle clicker game from Hyper Hippo. The first was Adventure Capitalist and the second being Adventure Communist. This game takes the idle clicker concept of resource management and puts a story about fixing the space-time continuum.
This video shows the progression of the game from the tiers listed above. We went about as far as we could go before the grind starts to take over.
As you would expect from a mobile game, there is advertising and micro-transactions. However, none of these were forced - just optional.
Warcraft Rumble - Dead Mines - Bloodmage Thalnos - Level 17 to 19 - Undead Dungeon - July 2024
This dungeon was offered between July 20, 2024 through July 27, 2024.
Each dungeon is on a five (5) week rotation so one can expect each dungeon once a month.
This video shows the completion of Dead Mines for July 2024. Each dungeon lasts one (1) week and consists of three (3) levels which must be completed as a gauntlet. No swapping of leaders or troops is allowed and must be completed by a leader of the faction of the week. Completing the dungeon allows for Army Upgrades which allows certain minis in certain spots to gain up to three (3) levels.
Warcraft Rumble was released on November 3, 2023. Based on the World of Warcraft cast of characters, Warcraft Rumble is a miniature 4X game where each round lasts no more than five (5) minutes.
This game is designed to be played on a mobile device and does require an internet connection, although it does run quite well in an emulated mode on a personal computer.
Bucking the trend of most mobile games, Warcraft Rumble has NO ADVERTISING! We appreciate this trend by Blizzard. That said, they do have a store for micro-transactions. After all, the bills need to be paid somehow. We'd rather have a store than the constant barrage of annoying, intrusive and data-sucking advertisements.

Adventure Communist - From Tier 20.3 to Tier 21.4 - July 2024
Adventure Communist is the 2nd idle clicker game from Hyper Hippo. The first was Adventure Capitalist. This game takes the idle clicker concept of making as much money as possible and puts a communist twist as well as add a few features.
This video shows Tier 20.3 until Tier 21.4. Collected a bunch of stuff. Collected some rewards. Did a few objectives, until the grind started to set in.
As you would expect from a mobile game, there is advertising and micro-transactions. However, none of these were forced - just optional.

Knobsters - Easy Mode - July 2024
Knobsters is a game where the player rotates one knob 90 degrees clockwise. If a path can be made, the color of the receiving knob will change and that knob will be rotated and the cycle will continue until there are no more moves which can be made.
This game has no advertisements.
This game has no objectionable material.
This game feels like a proof-of-concept project which was released. This game sorely could use a tutorial and simple levels so that the player can get a feel as to how to approach levels. Otherwise the player will just randomly turn knobs and hope for the best.
Strategies like when to abandon a color and go to another one. Is there an ideal way to maximize knob turns? How should one approach a block where all the knobs are locked into themselves and not easily accessible from the rest of the group?
This game has no background music.
The background music is provided by https://ai-music-magic.audoir.com/
That said, there is potential here.

Adventure Capitalist - Mars - From 47.3 billion to 396 trillion Investor Angels - July 2024
Adventure Capitalist is the 1st idle clicker game from Hyper Hippo. This game takes the idle clicker concept with the goal of making as much money as possible.
When one accumulates 100 Lunar Dollars, one unlocks Mars. The game then gives you a third option to continue making money - on Earth, the Moon as well as Mars. So you now have three (3) empires to manage.
This video shows the tweaking Mars phase of this game until the grind started to take over.
When available, the space ship offers a 2x bonus which lasts 30 seconds. Clicking on the spaceship extends this time by one (1) second. We do not know how long this lasts but it is helpful in the beginning.
As you would expect from a mobile game, there is advertising and micro-transactions. However, none of these were forced - just optional.

When one accumulates $100,000,000,000,000, one unlocks the Moon. The game then gives you a second option to continue making money - on Earth as well as the Moon. So you now have two (2) empires to manage.
This video shows the growth from 5.6 septillion to 24.3 octillion Angels of the Moon phase of this game until the grind started to take over.

Adventure Capitalist is the 1st idle clicker game from Hyper Hippo. This game takes the idle clicker concept with the goal of making as much money as possible.
This video shows the progress from 2.88 trillion to 27.2 trillion Angel Investors. Each angel gives an additional 2% profit but you need to restart everything. Sounds annoying but with this boost, you catch up real quick. You can start to see it here, especially if you compare this to the original start of the game.
As you would expect from a mobile game, there is advertising and micro-transactions. However, none of these were forced - just optional.

Plants vs Zombies 2 - Penny's Pursuit - Seedium Showcase - Bamboo Spartan - July 2024
Plant of the Week - Hot Date - was offered between July 20, 2024 through July 27, 2024.
Hot Date is a member of the Pepper-Mint family.
Hot Date costs 175 Sun. (-25 Sun at levels 4, 6, 8 and 10.)
Hot Date has 2,000 hit points. (+200 at levels 2-5, +500 at levels 6-10.)
Hot Date attracts zombies from lanes above and below him.
When Hot Date is defeated, it will explode like a Jalapeño and deals 1,000 damage to all zombies in the lane. (+100 damage at levels 2-9.)
Commentary:
Hot Date marries the attractive ability of Sweet Potato and the lane burning effects of a mini-Jalapeño. This can create some asymmetric strategies which can make some combinations more viable than five (5) identical strategies which many approach the game now.
Bottom Line:
Hot Date won't defeat the zombie horde by himself. The recharge rate is too slow and Hot Date's attractive trait means he will be attacked by zombies not just in one lane but as many as three. So if one uses Hot Date, one needs a strategy as to how to deal with increased zombies coming down that lane.
Hot Date is not a bad plant. Just realize that one needs a full strategy to properly utilize him versus many other plants which are "plant it and forget it".
Level 1 - Difficulty 🌶️🌶️🌶️ - Bonus 1 of 2.
Survive the zombie attack.
Chosen Perk is Knock-back.
Produce at least 1,500 / 2,250 / 3,500 Sun
Never have more than not offered / 20 / 15 plants.
Level 2 - Difficulty 🌶️🌶️🌶️ - Bonus 1 of 2
Survive the zombie attack.
Chosen Perk is Sun Perk - Sun drops from the Sky.
Destroy 15 / 25 / 45 gravestones.
Fill a horizontal row with plants. (All 9 tiles must have a plant on it.)
Level 3 - Difficulty 🌶️🌶️🌶️ - Bonus 1 of 2
Survive the zombie attack.
Chosen Perk is Watering Perk - Plant seeds recharge faster.
Survive and protect the endangered plants - Primal Sunflowers on R234C1 and Zoybean Pod R2C3
Shrink not offered / 15 / 20 zombies.
Level 4 - Difficulty 🌶️🌶️🌶️ - Bonus 2 of 2
Survive the zombie attack.
Chosen Perk is Sun Perk - Sun drops from the Sky.
Survive and protect the endangered plants - Boomberry on R24C1
Spend no more than not offered / 5,000 / 5,000 Sun.
Level 5 - Difficulty 🌶️🌶️🌶️ - Bonus 1 of 2
Survive the zombie attack.
Chosen Perk is score multiplier.
Do not lose more than 10 / 10 / 6 plants.
There are precious flowers on the lawn which can not be trampled - not offered / 2 & 3 / 4 & 5

These 15 levels are based on the enjoyment of summer.
Rather than do all 15 levels using the same strategy, we showcase a different one for each level - all of which can be done with just the core plants. So you can choose the strategy which best suits your play-style and available plants.
Normally we try to use core plants but this time around there is a limited sub-set of plants to choose from. So we're showcasing a variety of plants instead of the same Bonk Choy or Three-peater strategy.
• Selected means plant occupies a seed slot.
• Given means the plant is on the lawn.
• Chosen means what we selected.

Word Quest - Play-through and Review - Levels 26 - 30 - July 2024
~~~~~ What is Word Quest? What kind of game is Word Quest? ~~~~~
Word Quest is a reverse word scramble jumble type game. The player is given several words and a blocks of letters and the player is tasked with guessing the commonality.
~~~~~ Is Word Quest “Pay to Win”? What do you get for spending real world money? ~~~~~
You get hints. You can get hints by watching advertisements or by paying real world cash.
~~~~~ Is there any objectionable material in Word Quest? ~~~~~
There isn't any objectionable material that we have found. After all, this is a word game.
~~~~~ Is Word Quest fun to play? Is the game challenging? Is this game a grind? ~~~~~
For those who enjoy jumble-style puzzles, this game can give you a nice dose without the commitment of larger puzzles.
As with any word puzzle games, challenging is a relative term. It all depends on your skill level and vocabulary.
Is this a grind? Only if you need to do multiples in a short time.
~~~~~ What about in-game advertisements? How many are there? How intrusive are they? Do you get anything for enduring them? ~~~~~~
We have encountered mandatory advertisements. 😢️
Fortunately, these were skippable.
Putting the device in airplane mode stops that.
~~~~~ What are the pros and cons of this game? ~~~~~
Pros:
Small crossword puzzles.
Levels are short.
Hint system which can assist the word or solve the puzzle.
Cons:
No background music.
Limited sounds.
Unable to shuffle or move blocks around.
Some of the words are not found in a standard dictionary.
Some of the words do not make obvious sense in relation to the given clue.
Some of these puzzles require a large English vocabulary. While I would expect a difficulty increase at level 500, having uncommon words in the early levels detracts and is mildly depressive.
~~~~~ Do you recommend this game? ~~~~~
We would like to. In of itself, there is nothing majorly wrong with this game. Sure, it could use music and different background skins but those are not deal-breakers.
This game could do very well with children and teenagers if the game was geared towards their vocabulary level. Some of the categories are a bit obscure and we had to use a reference guide to solve some of these.
The bottom line is that we just think this is a lost opportunity.

Hot Date won't defeat the zombie horde by himself. The recharge rate is too slow and Hot Date's attractive trait means he will be attacked by zombies not just in one lane but as many as three. So if one uses Hot Date, one needs a strategy as to how to deal with increased zombies coming down that lane.
Hot Date is not a bad plant. Just realize that one needs a full strategy to properly utilize him versus many other plants which are "plant it and forget it".

We do not get a preview of Penny's Pursuit before it is released. So what you see is what players get.
We also try to vary the strategies from week to week and showcasing different plants and strategies and ideas. Using the same strategy week after week would be boring to see.
As always, if you appreciate these videos, learned something from them, please subscribe. This incentives me to continue making these videos.

Warcraft Rumble - Blackfathom Deeps - Grommash Hellscream - Level 19 to 20 - Horde - July 2024
This dungeon was offered between July 7, 2024 through July 14, 2024.
Each dungeon is on a five (5) week rotation so one can expect each dungeon once a month.
This video shows the completion of Blackfathom Deeps for July 2024. Each dungeon lasts one (1) week and consists of three (3) levels which must be completed as a gauntlet. No swapping of leaders or troops is allowed and must be completed by a leader of the faction of the week. Completing the dungeon allows for Army Upgrades which allows certain minis in certain spots to gain up to three (3) levels.
Warcraft Rumble was released on November 3, 2023. Based on the World of Warcraft cast of characters, Warcraft Rumble is a miniature 4X game where each round lasts no more than five (5) minutes.
This game is designed to be played on a mobile device and does require an internet connection, although it does run quite well in an emulated mode on a personal computer.
Bucking the trend of most mobile games, Warcraft Rumble has NO ADVERTISING! We appreciate this trend by Blizzard. That said, they do have a store for micro-transactions. After all, the bills need to be paid somehow. We'd rather have a store than the constant barrage of annoying, intrusive and data-sucking advertisements.
Blackfanthom Deeps
3 lanes with a pier close enough to attack your base. Snipers perched in the cliffs.
3 lanes. Left and right have a tower which have toxic ooze. Need unbound or fliers.
2 lanes. Sea monsters attack and must be defeated before the boss is revealed.
