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).

Wordplay staple!

Love this game- great design, funny and no ads! Did the free version for a while and then bought it, it’s a one time purchase and no subscription- I wanted to support the people that made this!

Freezing issue

I’ve played the game before but just redownloaded on a new phone, it’s a great game but my new phone is frozen on the Studio Folly screen. I hope there is some way I can play cause I was really wanting to do it again

A bit hard to grasp

There’s a lot going on in this game, and you’re only allowed to play once a day without spending money. I can feel that the developers have put a lot of time and care into developing something fresh and fun here but I can’t help but find the paywall frustrating. $8 is a pretty fair price for unlimited play, but it’s a fairly complicated game as you unlock more ‘gubbins’ and if you’re only playing one quick game in the morning you could easily get overwhelmed the next day trying to remember how things work or what your strategies are. I think it would benefit a lot from a free trial period for new players even if it’s just two or three days. I want to play more, and I would totally pay to play more if I understood the mechanics better, but as it stands right now I don’t even know if it’s something I would want to play more of since there’s so much thrown at you and not a lot of space to process anything.
