The best puzzle games will keep you thinking about them long after you’ve stopped playing. I found out too late that Textropolis is one of these games. I made the mistake of playing it at around 2 AM the other night, intending just to give it a quick try, and ended up spending a good hour on it. Afterward, all I could think about while lying awake in bed was how many words I missed in the last puzzle I played. Damn you, Textropolis. - FingerGaming (4.5/5 stars)

This game is well designed… The coolest feature of the game has to be the scrolling definitions that fly across the screen when you correctly spell a word. - Appletell
