How it feels

a competitive two-player quiz game where quick vocabulary recall determines who claims tiles on a board.

What players say

Players say it is a simple vocabulary drill for true beginners, with a small word set and no grammar instruction. The Blockbusters mode adds a tactical twist, and offline play works. However, many call it outclassed by free apps like Duolingo, especially for the asking price, and its mobile origin shows in the clunky UI.
