HOW TO PLAY?
Once inside we can start playing immediately by clicking on the « NEW » button located at the top right of the screen or on the box where it informs us that « THERE ARE NO GAMES AVAILABLE ».
Once one of those buttons is pressed, we will access a menu where the first thing we must do is select the language in which we want to play. Once this is done we can play a game looking for a specific user (if you want to take it out with me, look for Maito76), play against a recent opponent (a list will appear of the players you've ever played with) , play a game with your Facebook friends (as long as you've linked your APALABRADOS account to FACEBOOK) or you can create a game with a random opponent that the same APP will look for you. Once you accept a game, the game begins, a game based, as we have said before, in order to form words in vertical or horizontal order and add the greatest possible number of points. You have to start from the star located in the central box. To learn more about the rules of the game, I'll give you this link where they are explained in detailAPALABRADOS RULES , although we can also learn to play in the same APP by pressing the "HELP" button, which will help us appears on the main screen of the application. On the board we see that we have a menu at the bottom with which we can perform various actions:.- PASS/PLAY: is the action that we must press if we cannot form a word with the letters we have, but if we assemble a word we will get the PLAY option, which is the that we will press to send the move to our opponent.
- CHANGE: Button with which we will change the letters that we consider appropriate.
- MIX: If we click here, the order of our letters changes. It's good to give it once in a while because it gives you ideas of new words to form with your tiles.
- GIVE UP: Last resort if we see that the game is more than lost.
Once we have shot we must wait for our opponent to shoot. While we wait, this command menu will appear under the dashboard:
- PUBLICAR: We can publish our last play on FACEBOOK or TWITTER.
- TOUCH: We will send a "touch", as a notification, to the opponent warning him that it is his turn to shoot.
- MIX: The assigned letters will be mixed. This is very good, sometimes, as it gives us hints of possible words to form.
- GIVE UP: We give up. We give the game won to our rival.
In the upper part of the board, more specifically on the right, we have the « CHAT » button with which we can chat with the opponent while we are playing.
Whenever we pull, it will appear, so we must press the «X» that appears in the upper right part of it to eliminate the screenshot. It is what the free version has, that we have to deal with it. One way to get rid of it is by paying for the PRO version
We must say that the games do not have time, so you can shoot when you can. We find it perfect to play when you have free time. I have played games that have lasted days, but also games that have lasted minutes. Everything will depend on your disposition and the opponent. It is very good for people who are a little busy. In addition, if we configure the notifications correctly, the iPhone will notify us every time someone invites us or shoots in any of the games we are playing.
We warn you that if for a week the person whose turn it is to shoot doesn't do so, he loses the game. You can now be winning that if you don't shoot, you lose it.
STATS:
From the main screen of the application, we can access our statistics by clicking on the "PROFILE" button.
In it we can see our achievements such as the score of the best game, the points obtained in our best throw and the longest word we have formed.
Also, below, we see the history of games won, lost and resigned (abandoned).
Under our Nick we see some flags with some numbers. These flags indicate the languages we've played games in and the number of matches we've run in each of those languages.
We can also see the statistics of any player, whether they are opponents or we have searched for them in the search engine.We only have to click on the image of his profile or, failing that, on the tab with the initial of his username that appears next to his Nick. Consulting this we can get an idea of who we are going to face or not.
On this screen, in addition to seeing all his statistics, we have the statistics of the history of games we have played, if we have ever played with him or her. We can see this under the name "VERSUS", as we can see in the previous image.
In addition to challenging and starting a new game with this user, by clicking on the "CHALLENGE" button, we also have the option to add him as a "FAVORITE" or "BLOCK" him.
CONFIGURATION:
To configure some aspects of the game or your profile, on the main screen we have a button in the upper-left part with which we can modify different aspects such as username, password, email, preferences in the game
To change our username or password, we must enter our account. From there we can easily carry out the operation.
To configure the PREFERENCES, that is up to everyone's taste. Each option to activate/deactivate is very explicit.
From "SETTINGS" we can also update to the PREMIUM version (without) and exit the application, if we want to do so at any time.
