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!
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!
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
wow, that is an incredible score. and thanks for the feedback. I will think about this idea. :)
Cute game! I like the BaBaIsYou inspired art style! Very cool you had it as a submission for 2 different jams at once!
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.
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.
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

I didn't know playing Scrabble with a goose would be so addictive, but here I am.
Very fun game, good job!
Super fun concept! Love the art style from the baba is you and you nailed it! :D Awesome work! :D
Really good aesthetic and theme!
Baba Is Goose
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?
Solid fun! It's a simple concept that works really well and spirals out of control the more you play.
Had to give it a try...! Infinite loop.
Interesting. Forgot to handle this case. :D Will be fixed in the post jam version.
Reminds me a lot of baba is you. The controls could be a bit better. Other than that, great game! I was expecting chaos since it's a goose, but hey this is also nice!
Really like this game, however does it ever check to see if the letters you're given can make a connected crossword? understandably if not, since this was done in a jam, but that is definitely a flaw. A restart button would've made this issue easier to swallow as I just wanted to keep playing.
The art style is great, very similar to Baba Is You, but I mean that as a compliment, but I think the jittery can seem a little quick. But all in all, it looks fantastic and it plays well. Good game all around. Well done.

Hey thanks for the kind words.
And the connected crossword check is pretty simple. it takes a random tile and looks if the list of all connected neighbours has the same count as all tiles on the field. And every left-to-right letter combination and up-to-down letter combination has to be valid. For example:
I hope this clarifies your question. And thanks for playing my game. :)
I meant more about the letters that spawn, I was sure I got all consonants at one point, love your little diagram with the goose and heart though :3

Now I understand the question. No there is no check if there is a solution for the current tiles. But you can also use the well to trade tiles. And also restart by pressing ESC and then R.
Oh I wondered why the well was there, that's cool. I like that
Edit: after finding out about the well, I got to 55, really addicting game. Love it.
