1P and 2P modes

The game has both a single player mode (with online features), and a local two player mode. In two player mode, you guess each others words.

Online multi-player

Unique online component, that makes you feel like you are competing against the whole world. As-you-play you see your current world-ranking and the number of points to beat the person in front of you in the leader boards.

You even get your own "bragging web page", where friends can see your stats change as you play. If you are really good, you might be able to grab a spot among the top 100 in the World Leader-board

All you have to do to access this is to create a playername.

Lifetime game mode

Wish WP7 supported "real multitasking"? Well, this game has taken it even a step further than that, and the game never forgets your progress!
You can even continue your round on a brand new WP7 phone, if you so wish.

Winner of Microsoft WP7 competition

The game also won the Microsoft Norway's Windows Phone 7 competition (3 apps won "first prize".
The two other winners was myChannel9 and Rubiks Cube.

Combos and achievements

We have spent a lot of time on making Hangman an even more addictive game, by adding a well-balanced score system with lots of achievements and combos that you can get by playing cleverly, and to keep you motivated.

10.000 "normal" words and phrases (and some famous people)

A common complaint about Hangman games, are that they contain many obscene/obscure/"weird" words. We have therefore manually gone through all the words (Ronny got a bit cross-eyed, but got through it:) in the word list manually, to make sure the words aren't too obscure/weird.

But a Hangman game should of course have some difficult/hard words, so there are of course not only super-easy words in the list. Nothing wrong with learning a new word or two while having fun (with the help of the WikiPedia lookup functionality).

Learn new words

The last played words in the game are remembered, and you can at any time look these up in Wikipedia.

Metro compliant, and follows your personal look and feel

The game uses colors from the theme and background you have chosen on your phone (including the tile if you pin it). On first startup it even selects a background image that fits your theme colors. It is 20 background pictures in the game, so you can personalize the game further. And if that is not enough for you, you can use one of your own pictures as background.

The game is of course designed so that this customization do not obscures the game play, all text will be visible in the game regardless of picture or colors chosen.

Fast start up and responsive handling

We wanted the game to be a game you could play "whenever you had the time", and therefore spent a lot of effort in making the game responsive, and not the least, reducing the start up time. The game takes less than a second to start. We believe that was well spent development-time, after all, who wants to sit for ages waiting for a game on their PHONE to boot up?

Updates

Some developers show info about what is new when they publish an update, we of course do that. But we also give info about planned releases months ahead of time, so you know what is comming and when.
And you can impact what is comming in new versions by giving us hints about what you miss in the game (forum is one great place for doing so;).

Try before you buy

There is as always an TRIAL-version available, so you can test out the game, and see if you like it without spending a dime!
The TRIAL- and LITE-version are practically identical, and both have almost all of the features of the full game with no time limits. The only limitations are in the single-player-mode, where you only get 100 words in your words list, and you are not allowed to post your high score to the World Leader board (you do however get a preview/tease of the online features until you reach 500 points).

We planned to make the LITE-version a "FULL-version with advertisements", but currently only US-developers are allowed to use Microsofts advertisement-API.
