Hi HN,

My friend and I just launched a vocabulary quiz game. It's a two Player Game where you challenge your opponent with a word and answer their challenge question. Whoever gets the highest score in a round of 5, wins.

Currently, words are from Barron's 333 most essential GRE wordlist to help students preparing for the standardized test.

You can check out the game at: [Play Store] https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buildmyvoc...

or

[Hybrid web app in Ionic - Please allow some time to load] https://buildmyvocab.in/wordsgame

We would love to hear feedback from you guys.

Well done. A 5 star game from me(web version). A few features that came in my mind immediately : - login system for keeping track of my games and score - ranking system - a timer for answering a question.

Once again good game/app.

Thanks for your valuable feedback. We are glad that you enjoyed it.

We want to test the user engagement with a very minimum product first. All these features are in our mind.

You can expect the timer in the upcoming release :)

I like it!

I think I'd like a summary at the end of words I got wrong.
