Back in 2021, my friends and I got bored and built a word game called Sqword. The premise is pretty simple (place cards to make words) but requires a bit of strategy and probability. With some free time on my hands, I’ve revived and enhanced the game. I’m genuinely looking for and would really appreciate feedback on the game including things you like, don’t like, and even better ifs. Thanks in advance!
Played a quick round and was surprised by how much the probability angle comes into play, way more than a typical word game. The card placement mechanic feels fresh, though I wish there was a quick tutorial to ease new players in.
Played a quick round and was surprised how much the probability angle sneaks in, weighing where to place cards actually mattered more than I expected. Would love to see a solo mode against bots next.
Played a quick round and got hooked on how the placement decisions force you to think ahead instead of just spelling. The probability angle adds a nice tension to each turn.
Played a quick round and the strategy angle caught me off guard, way more depth than I expected from card placement. Probability really does sneak into every move, which kept me thinking ahead instead of just tossing letters down.
Took it for a quick spin and the probability angle caught me off guard, turns simple letter placement into a real brain workout. Nice touch having you ask for feedback instead of just pushing features.
played a couple rounds on my phone and the placement strategy is sneakily tricky, way more depth than i expected from the simple rules
the card-based mechanic feels really tactile, reminds me of scrabble but with a smarter use of probability in the scoring. nice revival on something you built with friends, the polish shows you actually cared about the small stuff.
