scrabble and other word games are definitely not for me, but i still had fun trying to piece together words with what's little left of my brain cells. i also really dig the doodle theme similar to "baba is you", as well as the music. pretty nice :)

I like the concept a lot, but it's a bit difficult to know when I'm scoring points. I went through an entire round before reading the rules more carefully and realising I needed to connect more than one word, Scrabble-style, but when I went back and did it again the score still didn't go up. Still, a neat idea! The style made it a bit difficult to distinguish between R and A, though.

Evodevo IIOkay, no changing language, the game crashes xD
To be fair, I'm having a hard time coming up with words as it's not my first language, for fairness I won't rate your game.

KILL FALL DANCE DIEFun game, but once I used all the letters only 1 new letter spawned at the time. And after a while I didn't have enough vowels to make words with. I like the concept of the game tho.

Gumball: Welcome to Candylandreally nice art style and concept, but the few english words I tried to form didn't work, presumably either because they're not in the dictionary or because word recognition is just broken
the words were One, Cone, Cornea, and Lone

Laser Escape!Incredible art style and cool concept. Struggled a bit with the font/wobble and the game not accepting lots of words (like "PIE") but maybe I was just missing something.
The art & style were really good though and the general gameplay was well executed!

Two HenriesNice game. As Others have said. It is very hard to make words.
I like how you made the graphics look like they came from baba is you.
I would be very happy if you would play my game.

Heart-StringsWow, how creative! That must have been hard to code, ngl. I didn't particularly like how much the letters twisted around, I get that it is the art style (which was awesome) but if that could be changed in the settings, that would be great! This would make an amazing mobile game. Super job!

WickThe gameplay is fun but the font was really hard to read when it wiggled. Maybe you could have everything wiggle but the letter. Would make a fun mobile game.

Sammich StackThe game looks very nice and a lot like Baba is You. The controls are good as well. I couldn't tell if the D was an O and the word GOD/GOO wouldn't work unfortunately? I do like how the letters that join together fit the theme.
Game crashes if you try and change the language though.

Save Shiba!Quite a fun game! I like how you constantly have to figure out new ways to (re)arrange the letters, and be pretty creative. Combining scrabble with a Sokoban-style game also added another surprisngly fun gameplay aspect: even though there were no obstacles, just arranging a large group of letters in the correct position was a nice challenge. Also great that you included a way to get rid of "bad" letters, made bad luck/rng much less frustrating.
I can't give too much points for originality. You have combined existing ideas in an exiting way, which I will give you credit for. However, the tile-pushing gameplay and art style looks to be directly copied from Baba is you, and while your game looks good, and I feel you could've gone with a more original style.
