Love the concept, but my vocabulary was so poor

I love the game, but I wish the game would auto reroll if no words were possible, or maybe allow you to reroll with a time penalty on your own

Developer

Thanks. I definitely should have added a restart button

I really love the concept and how your dice have letters instead of numbers. I'm a big fan of word games, so it immediately appeals to me.

I think what prevents me from loving the game is the fact that you can roll the dice and not get any words. Not only do I need to wait for the timer to run out, but there's just no fun in losing to pure randomness.

I would prefer it if there's always at least one word that can be spelled, and then replace the timer with a limited number of rounds. e.g. 10 rounds for the player to come up with 10 words and get as high a score as possible. Longer words earn more points and provide more rolls for the next round (same as how you have it currently).

Developer

Thanks. I thought about just making it a fixed number of rounds but I kinda liked the idea of it potentially going on forever. As long as you form words length 5+ you get so many dice that you can almost always form another 5+ word so the strategy is to just keep forming long words for as long as possible.

Pretty fun and hectic! Love how simple and stylized everything is, simple fun. This could be a fun board game i think they should make it real.

Love the use of letters on dice instead of numbers! Visually this game looks great. The sound effects are very nice too. I wish the game would end if there aren't any words I can create with my letters instead of having to wait out the time. But, great concept!

Developer

Thanks. I agree I should have at least added a restart button so you don't have to wait
