Three “mini-games” give players additional word puzzles to solve, with their level of success determining the number and strength of extra potions and power-up tiles they’ll take with them as they advance from one “chapter” of the game to the next. Various potions and treasures provide Lex with added power, defense and dozens of other automatic and one-time abilities to help him defeat the legions of bad guys standing between him and the safety of his beloved Cassandra and the safety of The Great Library. Making longer and more complex words gives Lex greater fighting prowess and generates special letter tiles with special power-up effects of their own. From Dracula, the Wolf-man and other famous monsters to legendary Greek, Egyptian and Arabian tales, Lex explores many great works of fiction and takes on scores of enemies, all with their own unique characteristics and powers. In the new sequel, players fully take on the role of Lex the bookworm – leading him through a series of well-known books and fictional characters which Lex must overcome by forming words from an ever-changing set of letter tiles. The original Bookworm, introduced in 2002, garnered numerous accolades and has become the best-selling digital word puzzle game of all time, available for Web, PC, Mac, Gameboy, even in-flight on leading airlines. Possibly due to an oversight, the DSiWare version of the original Bookworm remains available in North America as of September 2021. Some online gaming portals like SolitaireParadise claim to offer Bookworm but several others that we checked wouldn’t actually load the game. Physical versions of all three titles are available for PC while the original Bookworm is available for the Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS. As late as September of 2017 PopCap’s trademark page continued to display all four Bookworm titles and EA’s international trademarks on Bookworm remain active through 2025. No further explanation has been given on why the games were removed although their delisting from EA’s own Origin and POGO services implies that an expired license of some sort is the cause. In interactions that included Bookworm in interviews and on Twitter they would mention other PopCap franchises by name (Plants vs Zombies, Peggle, etc) while glancing over Bookworm. They were last confirmed available on March 9th at, on March 26th at Origin, on April 6th at Steam and May 31st on Big Fish Games.Īfter the release and demise of the last Bookworm title - Bookworm Heroes for iOS, released in April of 2013 and shut down December 1st, 2014 - PopCap Games, Electronic Arts and even Bookworm’s key creators (now independent) fell silent on the franchise. One thing is for sure, I'm certainly glad I purchased the Bookworm Collection from Wal-Mart when I did, I'm not as hurt as the others that only purchased the game from Steam since it was pulled from Steam.Origin Page PopCap's Bookworm Pageīookworm Deluxe, Bookworm Adventures Deluxe and Bookworm Adventures: Volume 2 were delisted from numerous online platforms between April and May of 2016. I wouldn't mind purchasing them on Steam, but I do prefer the physical copies. There is empty space on my shelf right this minute next to my "Wordy Word Bundle." My shelf is waiting for more Bookworm Adventures titles to fill the gap! If not Bookworm Adventures, give us a similar / same game with a new title. This is the official Bookworm version in English, published by Popcap, which you can play online for free and in full screen. Attention to fire letters that should never reach the bottom of the board. One reason I didn't mind paying for them, I'm very particular of the games I purchase, I have to be very intrigued by them. Help Lex the worm to eat up books by forming words, as long as possible, with the letters scattered on the screen. I paid full price for the "Wordy Word Bundle" physical disc set straight out of Wal-Mart and I didn't mind it one bit, neither did I hesitate! I still have them on my shelf unscratched and they will never be for sale. Give us newer titles and sequels after the 2nd Bookworm Adventures game. I've play the 1st two titles and won them over and over again. I would like more of these Bookworm Adventures games. I would also like to see this game back on Steam! It's my most favorite PC word game! Please do talk to the creators of this game if you can.
