Word Bump
From: The Gaiapedia, the community encyclopedia about Gaia Online
Word Bump was first released on July 13, 2006. It is the only single-player game on Gaia, in that there are no user-created rooms and chats; the player is isolated with the game.
It was heavily botted and gold granting and the Credit Exchange were disabled for several months, but as of February 1 2008 it has been working correctly.

[edit] Gameplay
There are rows of red, yellow and blue tiles, each with a different letter, and a Golden Word the player must "bump" to the top by making words out of the lettered tiles above it. After a certain amount of time, another row of tiles is added to the top, and if any of the Golden Tiles fall off the board, it's game over.
[edit] Bonus Levels
Credits can be won through bonus levels, which are needed to use the Credit Exchange at H.R. Wesley.
- Color Spam - No real words are needed, just click and submit three or more tiles of the same color.
- ChatterBox - Only the word "bump" is accepted.
- Item Grant - Instead of a Golden Word, the player must "bump" up an item in order to win it.
[edit] Power-Ups
Each color coincides with a power-up - the more of one colored tile is used, the faster the power-up gauge fills up, and when it is filled, a colored ball appears below the board. Filling up different colored gauges adds to the power of the ball at the bottom, and changes its color accordingly. The power-up can be used on any column.
- Sticky - Golden Tile won't go down when timer fills up.
- Bump - Bumps all tiles to the left and right of the Golden Tile
- Split - Splits all tiles in an X-shape around the Golden Tile.
- Announcement - If the Sticky, Bump, and Split power-ups are combined, it will launch a Golden Tile straight to the top!
