Good job! I was never really that good at Scrabble, heh.
Really cool and original idea! To be honest, it's not really up my alley because I'm terrible at word games, but I managed to get to level 5 before running out of vowels. I really like the borders around the letter tiles - makes them feel very mystical. Well done!
This is a clever use of language to solve a puzzle. These types of word puzzles are challenging for me, but I managed to get to level five before running out. I like the way letters are gained, though I would have liked some more as the crystals could spawn very far away, making it not worth the cost to get them. It may be better to have some preset layouts it can use with multiple paths possible based on what letters the player has? With some more work this can be a good single player scrabble kind of game. Good work!
Really cool concept! Definitely had to wrack my brain to come up with good words even though there were so many potential options. Was pretty fun to figure out optimal paths once I got into it - wonder if there should be some advantage to using rarer letters though, it seemed like it was easy to just use fairly basic words since it was easy to get a bunch of common letters. Also I had a bunch of legit words get seemingly rejected - invisible, indivisible, legendary, intepreters... look how close I was to this awesome move!! https://imgur.com/a/LbyhME8 Super frustrating. Still pretty fun and I managed to win with a score of 97000. Nice work!
This game was really fun! The idea is great, the attrition of letters adds a cool element to it as well.
This is really fun! I'm not a great Scrabble-r but I still managed to win - the amount of letters gained from crystal tiles seemed well balanced to prevent me from getting stuck. Great idea - I can definitely see sinking a lot of time into a more finalized version of this game.
