Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Aug 24 → 0.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

It's neat.
Please remove slurs from the word list. Super not OK in any word game.
Fun, underrated roguelike that I can definitely recommend, especially to fans of games like Scrabble. It's not too good graphically and has its flaws, such as: - Not having good default dicitionaries. I understand lots of 2 word letters are misisng for balance purposes. But otherwise also tons of Scrabble words are not playable until you add them. E.g. "juke" which has bunch of possible meaning nowadays. - Weird randomization of map layouts, e.g. with nothing to spend money on by the end of map 3 - Not explaining certain mechanics too well But otherwise it's great. It has variable difficulties, which scale well. You can scale it on top by choosing the options for showing words. It has few playable characters to try various strategies with. Letters and items seem well-balanced, with few exceptions like "z" probably not giving as much as it should, given there are very few words with it, especially short ones. Enemies have various abilties and you need to have different tactics for them. And there are anti-RNG mechanics like redraw that also deepen the strategy - it was very fun to kill the level 4 boss by getting exact lethal from redrawing tiles like 8 times :P

Very neat concept, good execution. As with most word games, I find the dictionary a bit lacking, but being able to add words is in the game, so I have no quibbles.
Great Game, an hybrid between Bookworms and sly the spire
This is a fun game, for a couple bucks, some nice time.
Went up against an enemy in the desert that had a barrier of power 9 and infinite defence, there was no indication of how to break the barrier, I tried : throwing tiles away dealing more than 9 damage setting more than 9 defence nothing worked. However devs are quick to react and the game was fun.
This game blends all the fun parts of of card games, scrabble and chess. I've run through the first level about 10 times now and I'm still working on my strategy. I've played an aggressive game and a defensive game and both have their pros and cons. It's very well balance and I'm enjoying it immensely!
not as good as bookworm
+Idea is neat -Cannot type letters -> extremely cumbersome to play -No hotkeys for actions
