ngmoco, creator and publisher of games exclusively for the iPhone and iPod touch, today released WordFu on Apple’s App Store. WordFu is the ultimate word puzzler bringing Kung Fu to the iPhone.
Shake, Flick and Strike! WordFu excites players to unleash their spelling fury as they roll dice to strategically assemble a board of letters, then use multi-touch gestures and Kung Fu strikes to spell as many words as possible before the clock runs out.
WordFu masters direct an endless barrage of martial arts wordplay attacks against their friends over WiFi battle mode. They defend their honor by advancing up the leaderboard and earning the ultimate high score in solo play mode. They earn achievements and master the ability to freeze time and other game changing power-ups in their quest to don the WordFu black belt. WordFu masters can even email their friends to challenge them to battle… WordFu style!
