20/10!!!
Love this game!! It’s So great to get the day started with :)
Good, waiting for it to be great
Overall this game is enjoyable and would be 5 stars if it didn’t get in its own way. The devs allow you to turn off most of the superfluous animations with one very annoying exception. Certain words trigger a speech bubble that blocks a portion of the board. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve messed up the submitting of a word because it was partially blocked by the little comments the game makes. Additionally, it slows down game play which is frustrating.
Devs if you read this add another accessibility option to turn off the speech bubbles.

Good, could be better
It’s baffling to me that there are only two directions to make words in. You can’t swipe backwards or diagonally to make words which in my opinion is a huge miss. I travel a lot so I paid the six bucks to have infinite play when waiting for flights or the train and I feel like for the animations and novelty it’s worth 6 bucks one time. The RNG in the game is awful however. Your score is completely dependent on what random letters and gubbins you get, and many times two bad gubbins in a row has completely derailed a game. There’s also no reason to have undoing letter placements be limited to three per game when gubbin animations regularly cause me to misplace a letter and destroy a word. It’s a cute aesthetic game but it could be a great game with some tweaks.

I DID like it…
Update June 2024: still so glitchy! Letters get stuck so you can’t use them. Lightning bolt says 1 more round but never expires so it had ruined that row. It seems like such a simple game I don’t understand how it breaks constantly.
Old review: I paid for this game awhile ago and then recently paid AGAIN to get a few new Gubbins. These new ones are glitchy where every so often it will have an error message saying sorry that meteor got messed up- and then it takes away the Gubbin but does not fix the tiles that had been moved. So then your board is wrecked. I’m like 8 tiles into the Daily today and it has happened again and I’m not going to finish the game. Sometimes it will place a Gubbin over a letter tile that’s already been played on the board. Even if that Gubbin disappears, the letter tile become unplayable. Have a 9 letter word? No, you now have a 3 letter word, a 5 letter word, and a dead tile that can’t be fixed. It’s just wildly expensive for a cute little game to have such game-breaking (derogatory) issues.

Please fix bugs. Otherwise great
I want to give this 5 stars so badly because it’s a fantastic game with wonderful art that’s so unique and fun. I play every day and paid for the full version. But it’s so frustrating how many bugs there are! Some examples: Sometimes when I play a good Gubbins, like the one that’s supposed to take single tiles on the board and turn them into a word, it only takes 2-3 single tiles and leaves the rest. More often though, when there are pencil Gubbins on the board in the daily challenges, they disappear randomly at any point in the game - very unpredictable. Just now, I placed an O tile on the daily challenge and suddenly all the tiles in that column changed, ruining every single word I’ve made (I even undid it, it reverted back, I played a few different tiles, and when I put my O back there it wrecked the board again). There’s no error report form so I have to leave this review, but it’s so frustrating when I spend 30-60 minutes on a game and then the bugs wreck it before I can finish. Makes me not want to play or recommend it. PLEASE FIX THE BUGS 😭 because otherwise it’s amazing

Wanted to enjoy
You only get like 2 games of free play before the paywall and a 12 hour wait for another single game.
ummmmm? 😳
Love this adorable game, but has anyone else gotten "spicy", randomized letter combos that are, well, very spicy?
Too easy and boring after a few plays
Only had it a day and I’m bored. It’s too easy and repetitive looks nice but other than that doesn’t do much and very expensive for what you get

so fun! but can’t get music/sounds to play??
I love this, it’s cute, it’s fun, and low stakes enough for someone who doesn’t love playing games. BUT! why won’t the music or the sfx play for me, I even purchased the game to see if that would make a difference but I still can’t hear anything and that’s disappointing since everyone talks about how great the music and sound is for the game. please help me!?
