At a glance, Folk digital It seems that this is another cute and clever game, which is an ideal game to distract your phone for passive moments. But look closely, and it is clear that something is not correct. Yes, this is a game making word to fill a puzzle board.

Actually there is a kind of story here. Folk It occurs in a white-white imaginary field, and your goal is to help creatures such as small worms move in each level. There are grids of phase classes, and your goal is to blacken each. (I do not know how it helps in walking the creatures, but just stay here with me.) You keep them black by placing letters to clarify the words. The words completed will make the sections black, and some words have the ability to even more black.
It sounds a bit strange at first, and the dictionary you are working with increases this feeling even more. They are unclear. However, the game easily teaches you to this imaginary language, gradually introduces new words that add a new wrinkle to the puzzle. For example, the word “folk” allows you to blacken any class on the board, while “B” allows you to write the letter of your choice on the blank class. As the selection of your words increases, the techniques available to you also increase.
