Punfound joins the Windows Phone word game ranks

Punfound is a relatively new Windows Phone word game that has you lot filling in the blanks and completing a series of puns. For example, you are given a movie of a briefcase and y'all have to complete the pun "Just in …"

Some of the puns are humorous, some a piffling obscure and others you have to scratch your head to figure out. The game, which is available for depression-retentivity Windows Phones, contains over 300 pun puzzles to solve with more puns available through in-app buy. Punfound has had a decent level of success on Android and iOS devices and hopes some of that success carries over to our platform. The game has potential and has its fair share of challenges, simply Punfound may terminate up being more of an caused gustation than an across the board hitting.

The main menu with Punfound comes beyond as slightly cluttered at first start and comes loaded with the General Pun Pack of puzzles. Once yous play Punfound and solve a few puzzles, the main bill of fare turns into a gallery of the puzzles you've solve and comes across a petty more cleaner looking.

You can visit Punfound'due south partner sites by tapping the link button at the lesser of the main page. To get started solving the puzzles, just tap the Play button at the bottom that sits next to the link button.

The game screen will accept your pun and pic resting center screen and the letter fields that will be used to complete the pun just below the flick. Your alphabetic character choices and hint push encounter the bottom of the screen with your player ranking and hint total running beyond the tiptop of the screen.

Punfound starts you out with 15 hints with boosted hints being bachelor for in-app purchase. There are three hints styles that will cost you multiple hints and include removing a letter from the group that is not needed (2 hints), revealing a alphabetic character that is needed (iii hints) or solving the pun all together (15 hints). Needless to say, they go quick and I did not see a manner to replenish the hints other than the in-app purchase route.

Letters can exist placed into or out of play by borer on it. Once y'all consummate the missing words, a imprint will race up the screen proclaiming the answer as right or incorrect. When you find the solution, y'all volition exist able to advance to the next puzzle and a bespeak volition be added to your player profile, which will eventually motility y'all upwards the pun rankings. There are hundreds of puzzles with Punfound and the only way to advance to the next puzzle is to solve your current riddle or employ hints to reveal the answer. It would be nice to encounter the ability to skip to the next puzzle should you hit a road block and have run out of hints. It would h2o down the claiming cistron but may increase the entreatment cistron.

Again, as you solve puzzles the gallery on the main folio will be populated with thumbnail images of the puzzle picture. When you pull up the image to full screen, the riddle will notwithstanding have words missing and to observe the solution, press the large answer button that will also appear.

Overall Impression

Punfound is one of those type Windows Phone games that yous either love or detest. The game has its off-white share of challenges but can get rather boring at times that come fall flat. Some are a bit on the obscure side, which will cause you to burn a few hints a fiddling too apace than you would similar. Yous may detect yourself stuck and either give upward on the game or rely on a Bing search for the answer.

The game isn't a complete bust and the more you lot play, the more than I played Punfound the more it grew on me. I'm but not certain Punfound will accept that beyond the board appeal other word games have. On the positive, at last check Punfound does have a 5 Star rating (granted it merely has two reviews).

Nosotros'll rank the game slightly lower, seeing Punfound equally a decent game to pass the fourth dimension with. We only aren't sure how much staying power Punfound volition have or we might agree with the elevation rating. If you requite Punfound a try, let us know in the comments what you lot remember of the game.
