Glad to hear, that you liked it. And I definitely see your point. Maybe it would have been a good idea to have an onboarding tutorial with detailed instructions. Would also make the game more accessible. Maybe it’s part of the next overhaul. :)
Unlike in scrabble you only get points if all letters are used.
FORGET WHAT I SAID 18 MINS AGO
Hi! Very cool game!
Intresting realisation of game type "words in row". It remind me puzzle "baba is you"!
Find little visual bug, when gouse go left, some pixels appear in animation. (Windows 10, latest Chrome)
Thank you very much for the bug report. I finally had time to look into it. I tried it on Linux/Chromium with different zoom levels and fullscreen, but I was not able to reproduce it.
I will try it on Windows again the next days.
There are two types of wiggly texts in Obgoose. The one is hand drawn and not specific to Godot. The other is a shader and is only used for the letter on the pieces. That one was shared by another developer.
Is it something like "Baba is you"?
It’s a word game. Similar to scrabble.

Got 53 first try.
It kept counting stuff like “ds” as words when they clearly aren’t, so I think the dictionary may need to be looked at more closely. It’s probs also partly why I got such a high score on my first try, and why the game dragged on for so long.
Hm, definitely a Baba is U pastiche, I see that theme was Doodle but I think it didn’t need to be so close to it anyway, with other ways to represent doodling.
I’m also unsure if moving a character around is the best control for this game. It gives some character and challenge moving letters around, so if part of the fun is to mess up the existing words and reforming them, why not.
Otherwise, I wish I could sometimes just drag the letters around freely to form words (but I suppose from Scrabble apps allow that in training mode already?).
Anyway, I found myself quickly chaining 2 and 3-letter words I had no idea what they meant just to score - such is the greatness and trap of having an automated spellchecker, then it became more difficult so for 4+ letters you really start to pause and think ahead. Although I’m glad to have learned that MH can mean Medal of Honor and that BF can be Burkina Faso, best friend OR boyfriend (excellent to start an ambiguous conversation about a male friend).
UX: I thought dictionary was selected because highlighted in yellow, so I pressed left/right but nothing happened. In fact, I had to mouse hover some menu item then move down until I could select the language arrows and confirm them to change language - focusing an arrow is uncommon and less convenient than focusing the item itself and pressing left/right to change value
Bug: after game end, I press Escape to go back to main menu and Language was empty there

Is controller support on Android a consideration?
Playing on an Anbernic RG353P with an integrated gamepad. None of the buttons seem to do anything.
Oh, no worries. I’m not suggesting you support my specific device at all, but I’d imagine there’s probably some additional gamepads out there that aren’t working. Perhaps just testing a few more pads could help iron out the issue.

A few suggestions;
- Maybe a special word (dunno what to call it) where there's a random word that's longer than 5 letters that gives you double points if you make it and it randomizes each time you get it. This would help with deciding what words to use.
- Make the undo button z not ctrl+z
- I think it'd be cool if the player moves off side of the map they should be put into a random spot (like the letters)
- A child friendly mode (no swear words
- The English dictionary has some weird words that may be acronyms, for example (ra, lp, sd, cg, ii, don, ira, mese)
music is epic

Undo is now here. :) Press CTRL + Z and your mistakes are gone.
Wow this game is AMAZING! I got a high score of 29 and I felt pretty good until I saw someone got 75 :(. I love (and kinda hate) how as the game goes on getting new pieces and changing out pieces gets more risky because you might have them in between your words and you have to spend 3 minutes getting everything back to where it was before. The art gives off a lot of BaBa is You vibes. One thing that's could be better is the L/I and the R/A, they look really similar and got annoying sometimes.
PS. I never knew my vocabulary was sooo bad
