I decided to make another puzzle game based on finding words, but I wanted something fast paced and fun to play, so I came up with Word Yo!: An addictive game with a goofy name that somehow stuck.

After a mere two years or so of on and off development (ok, mostly off), things got kicked into high gear about 6 months ago with a publishing deal. Well, it's finally done and sold. You can download a demo here: http://www.smiliegames.com/wordyo.php3

Note I have sold the game completely, so all money and tech support inquiries go to them, not me :)

I think the game is loads of fun and easily accessible by anyone with half a vocabulary and some good mouse-eye coordination. The art is fantastic (thanks Ric!), the music is catchy (thanks Steve!) and the librarian's comments are amusing and perfect for the part (thanks Christina!). It feels good having it finished and having a published game under my belt, and I hope to do more in the future. I think first though I'm going to do a few quick and goofy freebies because those are more fun :)

I posted some teaser screens in this thread: http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=40088

Thanks to all my testers, and especially to Mark for making all this possible!
