Nice game! Might be fun to add a mode where 2-letter words aren't allowed. Would be more challenging as you can't just trial and error. But I can just play the game keeping myself to that rule :P

The art direction is neat, but mixing sokoban and scrabble just make a scrabble that is hard to play.

Also the multiple dictionaries is a nice feature, but french words with accents can't be placed x)

Developer

Hey Fledered,

thanks for the feedback. What do you mean? Is it impossible in general or are there missing words in the dictionary?

Submitted(+1)

Well for example, if you want to spell "râle", " élève" or "aïe", you can't because there is only the letters a, e and i.

Developer

I used the following letter distribution:

E 115024205 A 67563628 I 62672992 S 61882785 N 60728196 R 57656209 T 56267109 O 47724400 L 47171247 U 42698875 D 34914685 C 30219574 M 24894034 P 23647179 É 18451937 G 11684140 B 10817171 V 10590858 H 10583562 F 10579192 Q 6140307 Y 4351953 X 3588990 J 3276064 È 2969466 À 2966029 K 2747547 W 1653435 Z 1433913

But I'm no expert in french. Is there a better approach?

you might just make it work regardless of the accent to keep it fair between languages yeah?

Developer

What do you mean? Which language did you use? I tried to use similar rules to the official scrabble.

Really great presentation, love the whole visuals. Unfortunately, I am bad with words, but the cute goose really pushed me forward! :D

Very entertaining & creative game, nice work!

Single player Scrabble with a nice aesthetic and a goose?  Sign me up.  This is awesome.  I love the name.  Excellent job.

I love the little spins on a normal word game like being able to (or being forced to) move the entire board to make room for a new word - super cool!

(+1)

Wow! As a fan of word games this is extremely clever -- having the goose move the tiles around creates some unique challenges, especially as the board fills up. I enjoyed the music as well as the art style (very baba-is-you-esque as others have noted; we tried to achieve something similar in our game), which helped keep it engaging. That you executed such a complete game in 48 hours makes it all the more impressive. Congrats on this accomplishment!

my score of 75
Developer

wow, thanks for the kind words. And congratulations on such an amazing score. Never thought that would even be possible. That's comittment. :D

Thanks! Went back to it later and managed to get 98 (forgot to screenshot the board before the timer ran out... in a future version maybe give the player a chance to see their board postgame?) Once again awesome job -- I was clearly drawn back to it after some time which is probably a good sign lol

Developer

wow, that is an incredible score. and thanks for the feedback. I will think about this idea. :)

Submitted

Cute game! I like the BaBaIsYou inspired art style! Very cool you had it as a submission for 2 different jams at once!

Submitted

Make everything a little less Movey and it's an awesome game.

BTW, Would love for you to try my game too.

It is an Action Platformer with unique controls.

Thanks! Now I can look stupid on my own instead of looking stupid with other people.

Developer

you got the spirit! ;)

Cute and simple.  Relaxing too!  I liked the Baba is You aesthetic, although some of the letters were a bit hard to read. Also found a small glitch where a new letter can spawn on top of a bottom one and pushing it causes it to fly off forever.

Submitted(+1)

The theme is really nice and the concept is great, I loved playing! However I do feel like the rules could be explained a little better, I had to play for a good ten minutes before I figured out how to score. Otherwise it's a great game!

Very fun! My only critique is some letters were difficult to interpret when animating like that. Great work

Love the graphics and the simple gameplay, I had lots of fun making lame words.

Love the baba is you vibe. It's really difficult, but I've always been bad at word puzzles. My best score was 6

Very cool idea and nice execution! Has a Baba Is You vibe. Ob Is Goose?
