Interesting concept. It's a pity you've copied Loren Brichter's Letterpress style a little too much (http://www.atebits.com/letterpress/).

Also, the animations could do with a little more fluidity, and where are the sound effects?

I sincerely hope you take these points constructively and use them to further your success in your next versions!

I don't think this is a fair comment at all. They are both flat design word tile games, and there's only so much visual distinction you can squeeze out of those parameters. Regarding similarities with Letterpress, I don't detect any visual influences that couldn't be attributed to projects that use a flat UI and predate both games, and nothing strikes me as a direct copy of anything I've seen.

Could start by choosing different colours.

Not bad! Any plans to open source some of the underlying libraries? Could be interesting to see more games made in this style with these visual mechanics.

Congrants. Know it can be tough getting these things done especially on the side.
