Letter Invaders is based on Space Invaders, the old arcade game. The aliens attacking the planet from above are words from the system dictionary. Your weapon is the keyboard. Type the words before they reach the bottom of the screen to blow them up and get points.
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Some things that could be worked out:
--Don't allow words with the same falling speed to spawn on top of each other; this prevents either of the words from being read, and pretty much guarantees that they will hit the bottom.
--Add difficulty modes; seeing 'disestablishmentarianism' come barreling down the screen at full speed the first time you start playing is really scary.
--Although the long words with strange letter combinations really help with precision, they're not particularly applicable to everyday typing, in my opinion. Helping people to practice on more common words might be more useful.
