geting 'fin' make you not get 'inn' sometimes game forget to get words. I was so suprise when i put a block and it find word and not use any letter from new block
like 15% of games. It broke my heart when i had 1050 and i play like 3 block with game over sign. I'm curious my self why this happen, I saw that you put a source code on github(appreciate that), in free time I will try to find it my self. It will be good to practice unity.
U N B E L I E V A B L E!!!! THE IMPoSSIBLE IS POSSIBLE!!! How did you do this in 3 days!!!!! love the game! best ive played on itch... ever!!! THE GRAPHICS ARE JUST INSANE!!!!
Haha thanks! ❤️ Not my first rodeo. But yeah, wish I did have the 3rd day, sadly had to work. Dunno what I would have done differently or added if I did though. 🤔 Maybe different languages and probably would have dared to try block rotations. Well, at least more polish!
hah xD that makes it even more insane! only 2 days?? i wonder... haha! u did better than many, and definetly one of the best ive seen! my game cant compare lol since its also only my 3rd month of gamedev xD. best of luck!
Yup, that’s the thing, I’m pushing towards 30 years of experience making games. Even though there has been some years between there with practically no games.
this is a very creative game it is really polished but the leaderboard wsa buggy and the game crashed at some point. it's a really good game for a game jam though.
But there are some things I consider rather strange:
At least two letters are removed, but it finds two-letter words. So the game removes MMM because mm is the abbreviation for millimeters.
Abbreviations of some organization names are recognized, but not even common names (like Tim). It recognizes OR as an abbreviation for Oregon, but not USA. That's strange!
Sometimes, whole words are generated as parts of the tetromino; e. g. you get AACE and the ACE part is removed immediately.
Also, I would like more freedom and strategic choices. Rotating the tetromino would be nice or some way to sometimes regroup some letters.
Yeah the two letter words shouldn’t count. There is some discrepancies between by dictionary file and the API I use to get the definitions. So no clue on what the MMM in the dictionary is referring to but for some reason the definition when querying with it returns millimeters.
Names missing is just a dictionary thing. I’d gladly add the names to the dictionary if I can find a decent list. Shouldn’t be too hard.
Yup, tetromino rotating would be cool I think. Sure it would also increase the complexity when placing the blocks and finding words but would also help the end game not be so luck based. I was of course thinking about it since it’s the classic tetris way but was kinda afraid of the added complexity. Quite a few people have already mentioned the lack of it so I’m quite sure it’s something I’ll at least toy around with after the jam rating period is done. Maybe could be its own ”game mode” with separate leaderboards or something. Would be easy enough to ensure that blocks do not contain any ready words too.

That’s very weird. Probably some timing issue, glad that it seems to be very rare at least.

Oh it’s so frequent to you. 🤔 Even weirder since it doesn’t seem like it’s happening to others.
Its happening to me tho........a lot.
Dang! Web version I’m guessing? What browser?
Top 50 babyyyy. Great game!

Thanks again for playing and the feedback!
very fun
Sadly crashes Waterfox Classic.
Oh thanks for the heads up! Didn’t even know such thing existed. 😅 Will investigate after work if I can fix it.
As of version 2021.2 it's working. No crash.
Great game !!
