War of the Words |
When an enemy appears on screen it will have a code box next to it, enter the entire code word to destroy the alien. The timer bar at the bottom of the code box will countdown until it is empty, at which point the alien will attack you dealing varying degrees of damage. If the alien has a hostage and the timer runs out the hostage will be killed, after which the timer bar will begin to countdown again. TargetingWhen you start typing the word in the code box the associated alien will become targeted, indicated by a set of crosshairs which will appear over the enemy. You must complete this code before moving on to another. The only exception to this rule is enemies with single-digit numeric codes. These enemies are falling bombs and the small 'Jumping Spider' enemies. You may type the single digit number at anytime, and when finished will be automatically back on the previously targeted alien. Use the or to move the crosshairs over enemies. Press or to shoot. Head shots earn more points than body shots and body shots earn more than limb shots. In arcade mode it is possible to shoot hostages, although you want to avoid this as it will cost you points, and you will not get your power-ups.
Email Invasion has the same game play as Typing Mode, however you can import your own word lists via email. This allows you to destroy spam messages, battle through study notes, and practice commonly mistyped words. To use the Email Invasion mode you must first enable the email import setting: - Press Here you may also choose to have the email words import either in order or randomly. If you want to be able to read the email, and have it make sense, choose to import the words in order. This is best for study notes correspondence and newsletter style email messages. Random import generally works best for emails composed of single words, nonsense emails, spam and word list style email messages. Once the email import setting is activated you can import an email into War of the Words by opening an email message in the email application, scrolling to the bottom, and choosing 'Open with War of the Words' from the button that appears at the end of the email text.
