The game uses 3D graphics so you can get a new look at the game, there are lifelines you can use to help you, there's an eliminate levels mode, and a solve option for when you’re really stuck. There are more than 30 achievements plus as you solve puzzles you will be able to earn power-ups, unlock new themes, and enter into tournaments.

 

A Closer Look

You're going to love the look of this game because it's something totally different. There are actually eight different themes that you can unlock. When you change the theme the music changes, the Hangman's costume is different, and of course the entire look is totally changed. Themes include Candyland and Western. If you don't want to wait while you earn coins to unlock the themes you can purchase coins instead for $0.99 to $2.99.

For all its good points there are a few problems. I find the app incredibly slow to load, so much so that I end up wondering if the app is about to crash. It is ad-supported but there seems to be a lot of them, and they are definitely distracting. The screen itself feels a bit busy during gameplay; there just seems to be a lot happening visually and even audio-wise. These are all fairly minor though as the game is still a lot of fun to play.
