Reviews
Go Nuts for Donuts (GeekDad): “The artwork is delicious, the gameplay is a snap to teach, and the chance to smash somebody else’s donut is just icing on the cake–or, I guess, maple glaze on the donut.”

Wordsy (iSlaytheDragon): “Wordsy is a stripped down word game that delivers on its title. It’s not a world changer, but it’s certainly entertaining and sure to please the word game fans out there.”
