The drop button malfunctions on my S35 running Android 16; it often sends the piece left or right before falling in its column, with no rhyme nor reason.
Additionally, I saw this: G was the actively falling letter at the time, I think, though I don't remember why it was showing Q at the top. The "OT" got suspended because I dropped a piece too fast after clearing a vertical, despite dropping it in a different column. And the space under the "OT" could not be moved into. It was still usable; I removed it with "HOT" and the game proceeded as usual.
I tried the app again, and it seems like there is a conflict between the swipe gestures and the drop button. I’ll fix this in a future update. Thanks for reporting!
Regarding the top letter, it shows the next letter that’ll appear after the current one has dropped. Do let me know if that’s not what happened?
The last one is a rare issue and I haven’t faced it in the latest build. That said, I’ll try to do a double check to to minimize/remove this in the next builds.
Have fun!
Never mind about the second issue. I think it might have simply shown the same letter twice in a row. I don't remember anymore.
I played your game, my score was 1870. Nice fun word puzzle game.
Glad you had fun! I’m planning to add a bunch of more features in the future updates. P.S. - That’s nearly double of my own high score!
This is actually genius game design, I am really impressed hope it pops off!
Thank you! I’m actually working on a bunch of new features, like card modifiers inspired by Balatro’s Joker cards, and multiple game modes, possibly even a rogue-lite, depending on how fun it turns out to be.
