Wow, idk how i havent played a game like that before. Tetris but you have to make words is such a great concept, think you found something super cool here!

Developer

I really appreciate it! I was thinking it could be like a nice spin on word tile games and Tetris (which I both enjoy playing a lot!)


Though I am a little worried to actually release a game based on this b/c I am not sure if it's too close to the Tetris IP!

Sick concept, and the music just slaps :D If you upload the background music to anywhere let me know, I'd like to listen to it outside of the game

I love this game! I need more space to work (more width). :D I accidentally learned that it includes highly offensive words! This is a great submission.
I also want some blocks that are composed of multiple letters. Maybe start with common words (based on Google Ngram statistics) and break them down to parts.

Developer

That is a really interesting idea!  I feel like there's so many different tweaks I could try on the actual gameplay that could make it even more fun, or different modes!  Part of what is making that difficult is my dumpster fire code with hardcoded width and heights everywhere.  I feel at some point, I'd really like to go back and clean the code to be nicer!


I got the wordlist from this open source wordlist: https://github.com/wordnik/wordlist

I didn't do much manual review of it, but it turns out word lists and such are quite expensive and there aren't a ton of them!

Very interesting concept, like tetris scrable

Developer

Thanks!  That was basically my inspiration!  I added some rules in to try to make the randomness usually give us options to make words, but I bet it could use some more polishing though!


Thanks for the positive thoughts!
