The world of word games is about to be knocked off it's feet!

Amsterdam, December 18, 2012.

UNIQUE WORD GAME
WordBoxer is a turn-based strategic word game unlike any other word game available in the Play Store. The game play is simple and very addictive: Knock out your opponent by reducing their score to zero or come out on top after 12 rounds! Players score points by finding words in letter grids. These points are either subtracted from the opponent's score or added on to their own score depending on what letters are played, adding a strategic feature not seen in word games before!

BOXING CLUB: SOCIAL & COMPETITIVE
Moreover, WordBoxer includes a unique social feature: the Boxing Club. The Boxing Club provides a ranking list for selected friends and keeps track of results, statistics and achievements of individual players, contributing to the competitive nature of the game.

Nice, but it's lacking notification settings. I want to be able to toggle notification sound at least, and I assume some people want to toggle the notification feature on/off.

 

One more thing, nothring happens when I click the notfication, it should bring me into the mentioned round..

EDIT: it only took 10 seconds or so, and then I got into the last stage of the app (which is not where I would like to end up..)
