baba is goose

When a letter is offscreen, it takes an extra push on the map border to reset its position. You should let the player loop around the map so that he can push letters even when the edges are crowded.

is it normal that in the browser verion, no matter what i do i cant get any points?

Unlike in scrabble you only get points if all letters are used.

i did that once and i still didnt get points so idk if its a bug or not

FORGET WHAT I SAID 18 MINS AGO

As a very sigma skibidi person, very good game. I still don't know what to do aside from humping the letters.

Hi! Very cool game!
Intresting realisation of game type "words in row". It remind me puzzle "baba is you"!


Find little visual bug, when gouse go left, some pixels appear in animation. (Windows 10, latest Chrome)


Thank you very much for the bug report. I finally had time to look into it. I tried it on Linux/Chromium with different zoom levels and fullscreen, but I was not able to reproduce it.

I will try it on Windows again the next days.

Is it hard to make wiggly text in Godot?

There are two types of wiggly texts in Obgoose. The one is hand drawn and not specific to Godot. The other is a shader and is only used for the letter on the pieces. That one was shared by another developer.

Are you using a water shader?

Is it something like "Baba is you"?

It’s a word game. Similar to scrabble.

Goose!!!!! <3

It was fun for a while and I like how you could rearrange words but I got bored after 6 minutes and I don't know if there's an end.

(+1)

Got 53 first try.

It kept counting stuff like “ds” as words when they clearly aren’t, so I think the dictionary may need to be looked at more closely. It’s probs also partly why I got such a high score on my first try, and why the game dragged on for so long.

Hm, definitely a Baba is U pastiche, I see that theme was Doodle but I think it didn’t need to be so close to it anyway, with other ways to represent doodling.

I’m also unsure if moving a character around is the best control for this game. It gives some character and challenge moving letters around, so if part of the fun is to mess up the existing words and reforming them, why not.

Otherwise, I wish I could sometimes just drag the letters around freely to form words (but I suppose from Scrabble apps allow that in training mode already?).

Anyway, I found myself quickly chaining 2 and 3-letter words I had no idea what they meant just to score - such is the greatness and trap of having an automated spellchecker, then it became more difficult so for 4+ letters you really start to pause and think ahead. Although I’m glad to have learned that MH can mean Medal of Honor and that BF can be Burkina Faso, best friend OR boyfriend (excellent to start an ambiguous conversation about a male friend).

UX: I thought dictionary was selected because highlighted in yellow, so I pressed left/right but nothing happened. In fact, I had to mouse hover some menu item then move down until I could select the language arrows and confirm them to change language - focusing an arrow is uncommon and less convenient than focusing the item itself and pressing left/right to change value

Bug: after game end, I press Escape to go back to main menu and Language was empty there

isn't this baba is you theme

i have 0 i cant figure out how to earn points

Form valid words where all words are connected. Red outlines mark invalid words. If everything is connected and valid you will get a new letter and a point.

69... Nice! 'U'

Is controller support on Android a consideration?

(+1)

What is your setup? I have tried it with my Bluetooth Xbox controller and smartphone and it seems to work already due to the gamepad support of the pc version.

Playing on an Anbernic RG353P with an integrated gamepad. None of the buttons seem to do anything.

(+1)

Hm, I can try to find out how they did the mapping but if there is no documentation I will likely not be able to provide support. Sorry.

Oh, no worries. I’m not suggesting you support my specific device at all, but I’d imagine there’s probably some additional gamepads out there that aren’t working. Perhaps just testing a few more pads could help iron out the issue.

what is this

A wordgame. Similar to scrabble.

oh no I know that I originally attached a screen shot of and * block in the game but it didn't show correctly. what did it do, it lagged my game when ever I added it to a word

(1 edit) (+1)

Haha. I see. :D It's a "joker". It can be any letter you want. But if you don't like to use it, you can throw it away.

In the online version it's a bit of a performance killer for long words. Cause it's searching (in the worst case) to the whole dictionary.

THANKS

WHy not add it in the play store

It's already there. ;)

0nly 18. I thought that i did good, but then i saw the comments.

there is also an infinite mode, if you dont want to play against the time.

54 ... BAAM

Nice! :)

my score is 29 lol

(+1)

Oh, and if this game is still in development, please improve the performance on * tiles, or give the option to play without them. These are really annoying when the field is getting full.

(+1)

You know what would be cool? A dictionary where I can look up what that word means that I just spelt accidentally^^

Maybe also a list of words I've already spelt, or a list of all available words with spelt words highlighted. That would also make it a collecting game!

A few suggestions;

  1. Maybe a special word (dunno what to call it) where there's a random word that's longer than 5 letters that gives you double points if you make it and it randomizes each time you get it. This would help with deciding what words to use.
  2. Make the undo button z not ctrl+z
  3. I think it'd be cool if the player moves off side of the map they should be put into a random spot (like the letters)
  4. A child friendly mode (no swear words
  5. The English dictionary has some weird words that may be acronyms, for example (ra, lp, sd, cg, ii, don, ira, mese)
(+1)

I agree! Also, if someone can't use arrow keys, allowing wasd or numpad would be helpful

(+2)

Is it the Spanish version? Nice to see it in another language. :) Is it a good dictionary?

(+1)

music is epic

(+5)

this kinda reminds me of baba is you

Pretty much the same mechanics as baba is you

(+8)

I got all the swear words :)

(+7)

this needs to be a speedrun

Please add an undo button!!!!

I love this game so much and i got to 35 with over 7 minutes remaining but I kept accidentally closing gaps and squishing together things that should not go together

and couldn't fix it without essentially redoing everything and it go too frustrating :( 

I try to add an undo button. Let's see how easy it will be. ;)

Undo is now here. :) Press CTRL + Z and your mistakes are gone.

its cool the game but is very stressfull for me lol

Wow this game is AMAZING! I got a high score of 29 and I felt pretty good until I saw someone got 75 :(. I love (and kinda hate) how as the game goes on getting new pieces and changing out pieces gets more risky because you might have them in between your words and you have to spend 3 minutes getting everything back to where it was before. The art gives off a lot of BaBa is You vibes. One thing that's could be better is the L/I and the R/A, they look really similar and got annoying sometimes.

PS. I never knew my vocabulary was sooo bad

(1 edit)

this game is great pls make more dictionarys :)

In the next version there will be a Spanish and a Portuguese dictionary. Are you looking for a specific language?

WOW PORTUGUESE <3 

(+1)

i wish you could pull blocks too by holding a button or something, cuz occasionally i'll accidentally push something and its pretty much impossible to fix

(+3)

The graphics remind me a lot of Baba Is You

(+5)

really awesome game, would love an untimed "zen" mode that just lets you go on as long as you please

(+1)

Wish granted (for the post jam version) ;)

(+3)

really? thank you so much! super excited for it

(+1)

This is super fun! My high score is 14.

(+1)

I have the game open just to listen to that magnificent track.

Suspicious... But I will pass the feedback to the musician. ;)

(+2)

cool game. I like taking scrabbling words as a base mechanic. The baba is you inspiration is very on the nose - but it suits the style well. Music is well executed but gets pretty repetitive after a while.

UX lacks a bit of response to player interaction - but the game as a whole is pretty neat. :)
