Hey folks, I have been working on my own web based word game. Here is the basic gyst.

It is an infinite, persistent, shared word-building game (think Scrabble), but the board never resets and every tile anyone's ever placed stays forever, so it's one continuously growing world the whole group builds together over weeks and months rather than a fresh game each round. You get a hand of letters daily to and can make one move per day. You can place on certain tiles and try to meet a daily theme for bonus points, swap out bad letters, and climb leaderboards for score, streak, longest word, etc. Browser-based, playable on desktop and mobile.

The problem I'm facing now is finding a really nice name for it. I've currently called it Lexisprawl (The greek word "Lexis" and the "sprawling" nature of the game). But after a few days it hasn't really caught on for me. I'd love to hear what your suggestions are.

Hi folks.

I am a unity programmer with around six years of experience. I just finished my computer science degree and would love to work on a project if someone has a great idea for a game in mind. 

I am down for any kind of project, regardless or not if it is intended to make any money.

You can check my profile and my portfolio for some idea of the games I've made.

Thanks!

Really fun and challenging, trying to balance your typing speed. Feels like the digital version of patting your head and rubbing your tummy haha!

Really cool, really satisfying bringing the hammer down on the mice!

Guys, you've done a bloody good job. This is a lovely game, the sort of game that inspires me to keep making games. Well done!

Really fun game, love the switch up in music and SFX when you grow. Should perhaps be a TAD more lenient with how precise you have to be to get the flies, only thing I'd change. Great work!

merry christmas mate, enjoy the post-jam update! :)

This is so cool! Well done on recreating a pretty accurate crash experience!

Thanks for your words of praise! I am the artist and definitely not the programmer/designer.

Hi! Thanks for your comment! We're really glad you enjoyed!

The building being stopped between waves was intentional. We are working on a post jam update and it may be something we reconsider once we get round to actually balancing the game a little more.

Thank you for the really lovely feedback, it is very much appreciated!

Definitely on the to do list, along with some much needed balancing! 😬

Thanks for playing! Yeah definitely needs some balancing, we had to sort of do it on the fly while developing so it's a shame that some of the extra content is kinda unaccessible atm haha

Such a simple but addictive game idea! Really fun!

Very cool game, I loved being able to control the speed as a feature!

Cool game! Probably could have done with a more powerful special move, didn't find much use for it personally.

Solid well made game! Unique concept!

Player cat looks badass!

Very cool, love the concept!

Very cute cat!

Took me a while to get that pun of pi-rats hahaha. Awesome trailer!

There is definitely an issue with the accuracy of the range of the tiles and some inconsistencies. Definitely going to rework the system for a post jam version. 

It's definitely difficult too, we ended up having basically 0 time to do any kind of balance. Thanks for trying it out and sticking with it for so long though, greatly appreciated!

Winston wiped the floor with me! 10/10 would get thrashed by a dog again.

Very satisfying to play!

Brilliant, I had lots of fun selling bikes. I'm not too sure what others mean about some sort of surprise after the first day. The game seems like a normal retail experience to me.

Very funky music! Really enjoyed the synced shooting etc.

I enjoyed scaring the life out of the old crone! Very fun game experience, well done!

Ah, thats annoying. What browser are you using. It seems like it might not be able to load the intro cutscene. Try hitting space on the black screen if it doesn't load.

Thanks for trying our game! Great first score!

Cool idea, but yeah like others have said. No theme.

Cool menu idea to have it in the world.

So hard to control, but you're right. That tune slaps.

Definitely agree with Gyryk, lots of roblox vibes.

91 was my score.

Cool movement ideia!

Awesome game, felt very badass haha.

Frustrating for sure, but well made.

Very addictive game loop, nicely done.

Love the visuals!

Cool idea, agree with innarq that instead of having to click on a pole, you should tap a button and latch to the closest one.
