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.
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.
Really cool game! Cute visuals too!
Okay, 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.
In the online version the loading of new languages takes some seconds. The current supported languages are "german", "french" and "english". If this does not work, you can also use the downloaded game. The language switch works faster in there.
Fun 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.
Hi! Really nice game. It looks so fun and I absolutely love how cute the art is. And it's a goose, what more can you say? Amazing work! :D
really 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
OMG! I LOVE word games, and this one takes the cake! I can't tell you how much I love this! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OKAY! YOU ARE WELCOME! Haha, thank you so much, that's the most enthusiastic comment I've ever gotten <3
very nice concept, but didnt find myself playing more than one screen. Wish the game accepted more words though

Great work, loved it. Little bit like bananagrams, but the goose made it even better!
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!
This was very fun!
I personally believe that you should mention in "How to Play" that words and points only count if everything's connected. I had to read the comments to figure that out. Otherwise, good job!
High score of 25
5 stars all around! Good job!
Nice 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.
I also really liked the Baba is you inspired art!
Wow, 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!
