Dave's Word Game's dark and light modes are really designed to follow you through your day - do you set your phone to switch between them to match the day/night cycle? The dark mode version of the menu theme tries to set the mood for a game to wind down with. Go playDWG.com !

It's been a long time coming, but we're finally ready to announce the upcoming mini-docu-series VERBOSE INTENTIONS! Dave's Word Game is important, as a tool to reduce productivity during working hours, save the world, and advocate for the cancellation of streaming service subscriptions.

It's always a PLEASURE when there's a fresh drop of Dave's mock-ups in the Bearwaves dev channels We think our games look STYLISH and UNIQUE - that's thanks to all the work Dave and Joel do to bring these to the screen! Have you tried playing DWG in landscape mode? You might be surprised...
