NGMOCO’S WORD FU, TOPPLE TOO GETTING ASYNCHRONOUS MULTIPLAYER

I’ve been working my way up the belt-ladder on ngmoco and Demiurge’s spelling battler Word Fu since its release late last week, and it’s quickly beat out the letter-press competition with a much more compelling power-up system and arcade-like reflexive pace. What I haven’t been able to do, though, is properly test its multiplayer, which is limited to local ad-hoc networks.

That may soon change, though (at least, in part), as ngmoco announce via twitter, that a forthcoming Word Fu patch will bring the asynchronous multiplayer capabilities of its upcoming Topple sequel (Topple Too) to Fu as well.

Just what that means for either isn’t fully clear — whether it’ll simply be score challenges, ala competitive Facebook games — but, as I’ve said a few times, any moves toward socializing the iPhone (especially in light of the collapse of the Onyx project) are greatly appreciated.
