Good game, responsive developer

I appreciate the developer keeping the game updated and being responsive to feedback. I was experiencing a weird bug, and he looked into fixing it. It might have been a random glitch. This is a well-designed game, it’s definitely worth downloading. It’s strategic and a fun vibe too. And no data collection or IAP. Thank you, developer!

Hey WRS15743, I'm really sorry you ran into that! I've been trying to reproduce the sticker issue you're seeing, but haven't had any luck yet. Could you shoot me an email at harish@roadtrip.dev? It might be tied to a specific build you played or using blank tiles. I'd also genuinely love to hear any other feedback you have. If I can get this sorted, I hope you'll consider updating your review!

Some stickers don’t work

Although this game is overall enjoyable and well done, there is a bug where certain stickers don’t let you use them. For example, a sticker that lets you enhance a couple letters; you drag the letters to the board, but when you drag to use the sticker, you can’t use it, you can only sell it. This happened so many times with different stickers that I deleted the game. It used to work fine, so I know it’s not me.

Also, when using a blank/wild tile, I wish it would let you pick what letter you want it to be; it doesn’t always pick the best letter.

Hopefully these issues get fixed sometime, because it would be a great game otherwise. Certainly it’s a good premium game at a fair price with no tracking, so I applaud that.

Good idea but misses the mark

I wanted to like this because I like word games and I like Balatro. Unfortunately they left out things that make Balatro more fun and added too much stuff that distract from the game. I don’t even need it to be so much like Balatro which would be fine, but this is like a not great attempt of making a scrabble plus Balatro game.

Sorry for the delay! Thanks for checking out the game. If you're open to giving it another shot, would love to hear more about what feels distracting at harish@roadtrip.dev. Still working on making things feel more cohesive.

Very challenging

I love the game but I feel ( as a well practiced and proficient word game player ) that the difficulty level is set rather too high for true enjoyment . I’ve not yet managed to get through the novice level . It would put lots of players off. Rules are easy to pick up as the other reviewer stated . But the game is currently too challenging .

Sorry I missed this! Glad you enjoyed the game. A lot of the early balance has changed since this review, but if novice runs still feel too punishing, would love to hear more at harish@roadtrip.dev.

Love it

So excited to see this game on the App Store! Simple idea implemented really well with lots of mechanics to explore. Looking forward to getting really good at this one

Fun Word Rogue Like!

Really fun and addictive gameplay! The Dev also seems really cool and passionate about their work, love to see it!

My only suggestion would be to add some stat tracking / profile system. I want to see my total wins, total words per category, trinkets bought, ect… Something for me to look back on and reflect on my play style and completion history would be AMAZING!

Sorry for the delay! And thanks for joining the Discord, really appreciate you saying that. The new Collection screen now shows every Knick Knack you've encountered, with more stats planned over time.

Great game

This game is great, and im so glad I gave it a chance. A few criticisms and problems I have however: game seems unoptimised and runs pretty slow, even for an old phone. While this phone is old, this game doesn’t have any 3d graphics and still runs slower than decades old 3d games. Another issue is a somewhat lack of build diversity from how overpowered some of the Knick knacks are.

Sorry I missed this! Glad you enjoyed the game. I made performance and Knick Knack balance improvements since then; if it still feels slow or builds feel narrow, would love to hear more at harish@roadtrip.dev.

Excellent game!

I’m so glad I found this game! It’s now one of my favorite word games ever. It captures the right balance of thinky and playful. Super engaging to play.

I just won my first game, barely, and it was a super satisfying feeling.

I appreciate the fair premium price with no IAP and no ads. I’m so glad it’s in portrait mode too. And, when you quit the app at any time for any reason, your progress is saved automatically. When you reopen the app, you just hit play and then you can continue your run. So it’s perfect for busy people like me who can only play in small spurts. It’s so fun you want to keep playing longer. Love it.

I like the visual design, I like the whole theme. If you change the game, developer, please don’t stray from what you’ve done so far, it’s fantastic as is. And please keep it premium, with no ads ever.

It could use a little bit of battery optimization, maybe, but it’s not bad, especially considering the animations. I wish the file size were a tad smaller, too, but again, it’s ok as is.

Anyway, thank you developer! I highly recommend this game! It’s really fun!

My favorite mobile roguelike!

Very intuitive and fun! Pretty similar to balatro in terms of the structure of runs, but does its own thing with the whole letter-tile system. 100% recommend it

Loving it so far

Easy to learn but it’s early days yet. I feel there’s a lot to master here to beat the game. Would have given 5 stars if there was a way to view your stats

Sorry I missed this! Glad you enjoyed the game. The new Collection screen now tracks the Knick Knacks you've encountered, and I have plans to add stats around best word, best run, most used Knick Knacks, etc. If there are any specifics you want to see, let me know at harish@roadtrip.dev.

A fun and different kind of word game

The strategies behind the scoring and bonuses make this game a super refreshing take on a traditional build-a-word game. Definitely one that gets better the more you play. 100% worth it; it’s a great addition to my word game to station.

Am I missing something or are there no saved stats? High Score, Best Word ect.?

Thanks for the review! We'll be adding your best stats across all runs soon :)

Exceptional game design

Even in its early stages of design, this game plays and feels exceptional. Every element feels well balanced and the UI is perfect. It really has the same strengths as Balatro since it follows the game loop so closely, but brings a fantastic mechanic to make a unique identity. I think more modifiers and further customization would propel this game into the same conversation as its influences.

Thank you! Totally agree on more items, we'll be adding lots more!

Good mix

Makes a lot of fun to play the game cause I already played a ton of Balatro and adding scrabble like things to it is so fun.
The contracts are also giving a nice twist to the game.
I hope you continue to develop the game and look out to adding new languages (e.g. German) so a lot more people can enjoy the game

Sorry for the delay! Thanks for the review, and would love to bring the game to more languages over time.

New favorite game

I am obsessed with this game!!!! It’s like a word game combined with a strategy game and it’s the perfect level of challenging but doable. Also it doesn’t have annoying ads like other word games which makes the experience so much nicer

Plays a lot like a blend of Balatro and Scrabble. If that sounds appealing, then the game is definitely for you. The developer is actively engaged with the players and improving the game.

Amazing mix of scrabble and balatro! Very addictive!

I really like the design and the idea of mixing scrabble with balatro. The developer is planning to add more features in the future like more languages.

Until now, it is already super addictive and even for a non native English speaker a great way to improve English vocabulary.

Ah sorry I missed this! Thanks for taking the time to write this. Great to hear it's been useful for practicing English too!

100% worth it

I don’t normally write reviews but I was really impressed by this. Definitely has a lot of elements of Balatro, so if you’ve played that you’ll pick it up quickly. The word-based items (like giving you mult for nouns or certain letters) do a lot to make it feel unique though. Have only played it for a couple days but have already found several really fun builds.

I also shared it my mom who loves word games. It was definitely a steeper learning curve for her (mostly to get the hang of the scoring) but now she’s addicted too lol

Excited for more content!!!
