Sorry Hank

The game is pretty terrible. Little to no meaningful strategy and just plain boring. Really tried to enjoy this game, but it’s just not good lol

tw suggestion/question

i’m a big fan of gubbins and enjoy playing the game a lot, but i’ve noticed some of the words that the game will auto generate can at times be triggering. the game auto generated the word “abortion” during a game i played recently, and i was slightly taken aback. there is ofc nothing wrong with the word itself, but as someone who has been through that irl, seeing that word pop up in a game i’m playing for fun was just upsetting. and for people with mental health issues who might experience paranoia, words like these can easily cause a person to spiral. i can’t say i have a clear solution to this issue, and maybe i’m missing an obvious feature of the game that would block certain triggering words. if something like that exists that would be a huge help. i just worry for other people like myself that experience anxiety and paranoia who could become triggered by things like this and experience very severe consequences as a result

Good

Very smart and fun to play like rouge words but with cartoon characters

Love the art style

That’s what first caught my attention. Little did I know it was the same studio behind Dogpile. Love your work. Great game, addicting but still very chill. Definitely recommend!

I love Gubbins *but*

When it stopped working across iOS platforms today, it gave me pause. There’s no clear way to contact app support, and during my search I realized that there haven’t been any app updates in about a year, which is no bueno given how many security vulnerabilities that can open your users up to.

Here’s to hoping there’s a fix and a major update soon (and that you don’t reset everyone’s streak since we’re all locked out today).
