This game is really fun and cute. My name is lexi and I smile every time I open the game! Would love if the layout was a little better for mobile browser as the text and floating windows are all a bit small when playing vertical. Thank you for this really cool game!
SO FUN. I wish it was an app so I could play it wherever. My only critique is sometimes the gem instructions stay up too long and I can't see the letters behind it. Great job.
The lexicopedia doesn’t seem to be scrollable. Mouse scrolling, clicking or dragging the scrollbar, and clicking or dragging the content, all did not work.
I assumed additive was supposed to accrue a bonus that applies to every word you play but that is not how it works. Can it either be made more clear or bugfixed depending on intention?
After playing some more I clicked the feedback button. Several of the required questions ask for things that weren't applicable. Like the first I encountered asked if I used a Steamdeck, Windows PC, or Apple PC. I used an Android tablet. One of the next questions asked what I thought of the Steam page. I've never seen it, I found this on the front page of Itch and had never heard of it before.
It seems pretty fun. Playing on an android tablet with touch controls, it was kind of hard to see what special characters did. If I touched them in a word it would just deselect them. If I tried to hold it the explainer tip would come up, but it wobbled around a lot and lowered the opacity to the point it was basically unreadable despite all the other game text being clear.
Otherwise it seemed good. In the speed mode, the letters fell pretty quickly, but I've never been great at these kinds of games. It might be nice if the overflow timer didn't start until the letters had settled, as it's difficult to start spelling when the letters are still merging and moving around.
Thanks for your feedback. I know touch controls are not optimal right now. It’s not yet my focus as I’m targetting PC first. I’ll definitely make it better in the future.
The game feels too easy at first but gradually, almost without noticing it, the bar rises until it becomes a challenge and then seems nearly impossible. Then, after you've lost you start rethinking those earlier purchases and realizing that they only seemed superfluous at first because their purpose is for that later time. Unexpected depth.
I put this in the feedback survey but I found a bug! when the tutorial is asking you to put a letter in the backpack, you can use the remaining letters which soft locks the game, since you cannot request more letters while in that stage of the tutorial
Ah ok, then maybe the icon should have a pigeon icon in it, otherwise it just looks broken! Btw why does pip have one green leg and one purple? Fashion accessory?
Wow! Huge roguelike fan here (pretty much the only genre I play because of my OCPD attention span) and OMG! That was so good! I loved it! Thank you!!!!! Will definitely be wish listing. No notes! <3 XD Sorry I can't be more helpful in that regard. Maybe more music? I guess that was the only thing I noticed. Genuinely though, great work!
The key is to spell long words if you can. Don’t hesitate to request more letters initially using the button on the right of the cauldron (but be careful of overflow). More letters == more multiplier so the score will grow quite a lot

That’s awesome, glad you like it! I’ll think about a proper mobile version after the PC release :)
Fantastic game.
Arachnoid, arachnophile, and a bunch of other medical and scientific terminology aren't in the dictionary. though.
Don’t hesitate to submit them in game (pause menu > missing word). I’ll add them to the list
Are you really advertising your own project on the page of someone else’s ? ._.

Thank you! I’m focusing on PC release first but I’m not against a potential mobile release too ;)
would love to play mobile!!!!!!!

You’re right thanks for reporting! I already have a fix, I’ll push asap

You might want to adjust the form a little bit.
Thanks for your comment, I’ll take a look

I adore this cute art style, and the pigeon

PS. but "creamsicles" is totally a word.
Just did a round of Letter Rush. My word list went out of bounds.
Lol, I might put that into a scrollContainer! Thanks for sharing :)

Oh yeah that should not be possible, thanks!
cool game :)
the most fun ive had in a while!!! can't wait for the full version to be out!!
also petrichor not accepted as a word? T T
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed :) hmmm, I’m adding it to the list
Balatro x Scrabble!
Btw the mute button doesn't seem to work, nor does pressing E
The mute button is just to mute Pip during the tutorial so he doesn’t do pigeon noise when talking

está divertido y ni siquiera se inglés XD
Very enjoyable - I love spelling and merge games. My only crit was mentioned before, the submit and cancel buttons moving can be a bit confusing.
I tried submitting two words to the thing in the pause menu, but it wouldn't let me. The words are nocturnal and nocturnally.
I would also like to add skinwalker and skinwalkers, as I lost a run due to them not being words
thanks for submitting! I think itch might restrict my api request somehow, I’ll check what’s happening!
Same, I tried adding strikest, and even it showed up in the dictionary, it wouldn't let me submit it.
Yeah, 'weaponize' and 'weaponized' didn't work for me
hey! just thought i'd let you know this game showed up when i searched "horror," might wanna check the tags!
itch is broken then lol
Hoarder seems to only add one point instead of the actual calculated value
Oh, I’ll take a look thanks for reporting!

Sellout is probably too overpowered.
the only scroll really adding to my score yeah
It’s quite powerful compared to the rest yes. I’ll work on balancing very soon!
I don’t know if I am doing it wrong or what but I cannot even beat the first level
