Really nice graphics and very good spin on the theme.

Really fun game! The graphics are very well done. Nice job!

I love messing with your physics engine xD

Wow, could this be the new Wordle???? Really awesome idea, well polished game! Since I am using  touchpad, moving the dice was a bit tedious. It would be so awesome if in a future version you could arrange the dice automatically just by typing the word on the keyboard. That would be so neat!

Lots of fun, and I think I won the game:

Really polished and addictive game; had a really good time with it. Definitely can stand up to some of the other popular word games out there. Once the board started to get smaller it can often just be completely impossible to form any words, unless I'm just forgetting some. Overall, really nice work!

Submitted

The controls of this game felt really good and the concept and art were great too. great work!

Submitted

Well presented game with good feeling controls and thumpy visuals.

Very cool game, I wish there was a way to refresh rolls, even if it costed times when there were no words that could be formed, but other than it it was very fun and looks very polished.

That's a good idea. I really like the idea of giving you rerolls that cost time. A good way to prevent the no word possible problem without making it way too easy. It would also add some tactical depth when you have to decide whether you want to spend your time looking for words with the letters you have or if you want to reroll them. That could just be the missing ingredient

I love this so much - very much my kind of game! 

The balance feels spot on, with the time limit adding plenty of pressure, but even when I slipped up I always felt able to claw things back given that using all letters granted more dice allowing me to recover from mistakes or bad rolls. 

It looks fantastic too - love the colour palette, and the simple but very pretty particle effects when the die are rolled.

Managed to get a score of 109, but pretty sure I'll be back to try and top it!

Submitted

I enjoyed this alot more than I thought I would! Did feel unfair when you would get letter you couldn't make anything with, but I understand why that needs to happen to make the game end. Overall, good work!

Submitted

A very fun word game!

Submitted

Nice to see another word game with a different take! I really enjoyed it!

At first I was confused about the actual mechanics, but it shortly became clear that gaps don't matter and your best word is saved, although you may want to communicate that more clearly?
I'd also strongly suggest to add a restart button as a good run depends on a good starting word
Oh and the game runs in the background, so I can cheat and get endless time :P

Highscore without cheating: 43

Developer

Thanks! I added some extra information in the description.

I expected to see more letters on dice games tbh. It's not that far fetched of an idea. But yours is the only other word game I found so far

Submitted

It's tough (I mean it was for me, at least, since my vocabulary is... well, rather poor ;)) and sometimes I think that letters I'm given are a bit unfair, like 5 vowels in 6 letter word :D

But the concept is cool and I had some fun with it :)

Submitted

This was really fun to play, although I am not very good at making words :)

Submitted

It's great! It's like a mini version of scrabble, of which is a game I love. Very satisfying to get a word using all the spaces on the grid. I genuinely cannot think of a complaint about it.

Submitted

Well, my complaint would be there are some words it doesn't recognize, and when its the only word spellable, it feels weird to be punished because you know a word the game doesn't
