Topic Twister is Etermax's fifth new game of 2020.

Etermax accelerates mobile game launches during the pandemic with debut of Topic Twister

Etermax has launched its Topic Twister mobile word game on iOS and Android as the company speeds up game launches during the coronavirus pandemic. The new title is the company’s fifth mobile game launch of the year and reflects its ambitions to be a force in the word game sector.

That will be tough to do as long as games like Zynga’s Words With Friends and Scopely’s Scrabble dominate the market, but Etermax is no slouch. It’s the company behind long-running hit Trivia Crack, which is the main reason its catalog has more than 700 million downloads.
