Love it. Great idea to make a word game - fits both the island theme and the grid limitation really well. Cool idea to use the color palette from the game jam's page.

This game is awesome, I love Boggle and the ability to add letters is super creative. Only wish there was an endless mode so I could keep adding letters. Great work!

but there is!!! As the time of this writing! Go play it again!

sorry take that back :(

Super relaxing game that definitely gave me the island vibes I was looking for. I'm a sucker for a good word game and this is no different - I liked the added strategy of being able to place new letters down. Great job!

Thanks for checking out our game! We went all-in on the island vibes, so it's great to hear that the time spent fighting a shader to get the wave effects working paid off

oh yes

Very relaxing with excellent visuals and music choice. I do not really have any feedback, the game ran and played as expect. Great work

Developer

Thanks for playing! It's good to hear that the time spent making the visuals work was worth it, and nice to know there weren't any obvious problems we missed

Wow! This game is an absolute gem. Such cozy relaxing vibes with the music and subtle but satisfying sound effects. I'm amazed at the polish and completeness of this one. Super good job!

Developer

Thanks for playing! One of our big plans coming in was to not overscope and actually try and make something complete and polished (it was tough - the urge to overscope is strong!) It's great to hear that you enjoyed the game

as some one who is bad at words this was still a really fun game - great work!

Developer

Thanks for playing! I was a bit worried that the game might be too hard, but it's good to know that it was fun

Really fun. A relaxing gameplay indeed. Played till I reached 514 and ran out of words. Would have been epic if it allowed you to place more letters after you beat it and continue. Very good stuff!

Thanks for playing - I think that's a higher score than I ever got playing the game! I was planning on having the progress meter reset to a harder challenge after finishing the first time, but never got around to implementing it. Great to hear you enjoyed it so much!

Really fun game, reminds me of those phone games where you have to mix and find words. Love it
