I started playing without reading the instructions and was a bit confused for a while but after clicking around a bit I got the hang of things and started assembling some absolutely beautiful poetry! What a novel concept. Very enjoyable. Great work!

This game is definitely unique! I made some silly word combinations, but they seemed to make the tiny creatures happy! Good job!

Interesting concept! I didn't really know what I was doing but the sound effects were funny :)

Very interesting graphics, just wondering how you made sure they were valid words (did you list nouns, verbs, e.c.t.,). It was very satisfying to get them into chains. the only problem I had was some of the words were really long and unreadable at that scale and sometimes I dragged across to the piles but noting happened.

Lovely experience! I didn't quite understand the points or numbers but I had fun moving the little gweebles around and forming sentences. It felt like the refrigerator magnet poem words. I loved the little animations.

I had some technical issues where the game would crash when I clicked too many times on a gweeble. I'm running on Safari on a Mac laptop (Apple M1) so that may have been an issue.

Awesome concept! I can really see this evolving—imagine adding Pokémon-style elements where you can collect different gweebles! Great job on this unique game!

Such a unique game! It felt a bit random at first but once you embrace the idea, create some nonsense and get gwee-gwees to create more nonsense, you just want even more. I had much fun tending over my Gweeble garden.
The art is lovely, the sound FX are awesome and so is the whole vibe. A real refreshing Jam!

It's awesome seeing peoples' gardens. Players sharing what they made was exactly what we were hoping for!

😍 huge word library which makes for plenty gameplay. ✅ extra points for having the ability to create nice statements about doggos! 🐶💖
