Gubbed up Kicks
This game is now a large part of my daily routine. The colours, sounds, and endless character the developers have put into this little word game blows me away
Dailies are always a great challenge, and making raunchy postcards is always a favourite amongst group chats

I DID like it…
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.

Ultimately not for me
I really adore the art and gameplay, but at the end of the day I feel like the player has matches happen to them as opposed to because of them. The balance between luck and skill is way off in my opinion, and my highest scores are really let-downs, because I don’t feel like I earned them in any way. Similarly, usually when a match is going poorly, I know it’s because the letters and Gubbins that I happen to be getting, through no input from myself, are just unworkable.
Because there isn’t much you can do to influence things, gameplay gets stale quickly.
The method of releasing new Gubbins and charging for them, but not being able to select/deselect packs of Gubbins, makes it seem like the creators are working with an old tired and broken model.
It’d be great if they introduced streaks or moves that lengthen the game, or play modes that rewarded certain actions by extending the board up from nine characters (or starting with an even smaller board and building out.)
Instead, they throw interesting gubbins in with infuriating ones that ruin the short matches, with very little for the user to do to turn things around.
Really wanted this game to be more engaging. Hopefully it can be some day. For now, it’s not for me.

Love the game but..
I don’t think it’s fair that you have to pay 7.99 to be able to play more than one game a day.
Super Fun! Awesome Game!
I love GUBBINS, I’ve played every daily since the start of the game and was so excited this week to see a new gub pack! This game is easy to learn, but really puts you in a pickle sometimes.
Only request! Can we have the option to see the board again after we finish? I like seeing how few letters I have left before I put the “FIN” on the board and I always snag a screenshot, but sometimes the gub guy is too fast and then he blocks my awesome clean board lol.
Anyway, love this game!

Love the game, but small bug
I love this game!! It’s so peaceful to play between doing my homework.
Just a small bug and I wasn’t sure how to submit a bug report, but I had the mushroom bad gubbin block some tiles, then I used the sock gubbin to copy the row above. They both had a counter of 2. When the counter went down, the mushrooms disappeared and the sock copied the row above, but those tiles were not interactable for the rest of the game and I wasn’t able to swipe tiles placed there.

Great game but why adds even after paying?
I played this game every morning for weeks as you get one free play a day.
I decided to pay 7.99 CAD to be able to play when I want.
The game still gives adds. This is ridiculous especially after paying 8 dollars.

Great game, but one issue with the one-a-day system
I adore this game! It’s unique as far as word games go and the art style is so charming. I don’t mind that you been only play once a day for free because it keeps me from getting sucked in too much.
The one issue I’ve noticed is that while I’m in Eastern time, the timer that restricts you to one game a day will still allow me to play until 3 am (midnight Pacific time). However, if I play a game between midnight and 3 am, I will not be able to play again until 3 am the following day. For example, at 12:30 am on Feb 9, I was still able to play the daily from Feb 8. But at 12:30 am on Feb 10, I am NOT able to play at all. The daily from Feb 9 is marked as complete even though I did not get to play that one, only the daily from Feb 8. I would love for this to be fixed, especially now that you’ve introduced streaks. I don’t mind losing the ability to play the previous day’s game until 3 am if it means not getting cheated out of the next day’s game altogether 🙏🏾

Great game but new update makes it unplayable!
I think GUBBINS is a nice game to play on my daily commute!
I’m not sure what happened by the latest update on my iPhone 8 won’t load past the Studio Folly screen!

It’s a fun game until…
It’s a fun game until you realise it’s basically a steady conveyor belt stream of “almost” ready words. I got my best scores from simply stacking the letters from the left to right followed from the bottom to top and then simply selecting the words that popped up. Now maybe I’m not good with words but if they’re all out there together, less the FINAL block of letters, you can see them much better… which kinda makes the games average in my opinion.
