The art and the sound are incredibly polished for a game jam!! I love them and all the chill vibe it gives :D Also really creative idea to form a path with words, well done!

Visuals are amazing, and everything in general was really polished and clean - super impressive for a game jam project. Felt like it was a bit hard though (but maybe I'm just dumb)

Crashed on me when I went to another tab. Beautiful art and well put-together game, though it felt like the chests would be very easy to lock yourself out of.

This is such an impressive game!! I was delighted to see how many layers of gameplay there were... at first, I thought just walking around on the scrabble board and moving to harvest more letters was really cool. Then I got a fish cache... then I found out you can buy upgrades that feel like they're plucked from a roguelite scrabble game... this is such a polished experience for such a brief jam. The sound and animation and art are all so pleasing... very impressively done!

i didnt really see how i was supposed to get anywhere or where i was supposed to be going, but theres a nice idea here. liked the audio - very relaxing, and the little chime sounds when stepping on the tiles was classy.

nice work!

It was pretty fun but sometimes got a little softlocky because I would have a grid of tightly packed things and couldn't go farther. Overall Good game and really relaxing.

Interesting take on the loop theme and really relaxing! Scrabble loops as a gameplay feature is unexpected!
Unfortunately quite hard for a non native English speaker like, I was not able to explore a lot.
Good job!

This is such a creative concept, and it’s executed with clarity and flair. You’ve taken a fresh idea and made it genuinely fun to play!

Using scrabble tiles to form bridges and make it through the level was a decent amount of fun, but perhaps this is my poor word making skills showing, but it felt like the letter tiles were really poorly distributed, I had plenty of uncommon words and I had a point where I was really dry on vowels, making it really hard to actually form bridges, though the detail of little jingles on the tiles you walk on was really charming. The music is absolutely soothing and felt like I was in another realm and I really loved the character you play as, really silly looking with a goofy walk cycle to boot, though I feel as the theming didn't really take much inspiration from the game jam's theme of looping. Fun time overall, really didn't feel like anything I've seen yet.

So cute!!! The music is soothing, and the art is so pretty! At first I thought there was a bug where you could place any letters down, but turns out I was spelling words correctly randomly??? I think the theming of loop could've been pushed a little more, but it's still fun to play :>

Omg I love word games and having the tiles be your mode of reaching your goal is so fun! Love the soundtrack too, very introspective and serene~
