Gamescom '12: Tetris meets word searches in Underline for PlayStation Mobile

Albino Pixel has released some more information about its upcoming Android puzzle game Underline, which featured in Sony's PlayStation Mobile Gamescom launch trailer.

The game is a mixture of Tetris and a word search, in that you create words from the letters that drop down the screen. Multipliers and bonuses allow you to clear the screen quicker, and blank tiles can be used for any letter you choose.

There are three different modes to play: Classic, which is all about clearing the letters as quickly as possible; Time Attack, which throws a ticking clock into the equation; and Wordsearch, which is just what you'd imagine. Words of power

Alongside the single-player game, there'll be a pass-the-handset multiplayer option, which will encourage you to challenge your friends to find some words on the same device.

Underline is scheduled for release in the autumn. To keep your wordy appetites sated until then, there are plenty of screenshots in the gallery at the top of this post for you to salivate over.

Harry used to be really good at Snake on the Nokia 5110. Apparently though, digital snake wrangling isn't a proper job, so now he writes words about games instead.
