simple word game/tetris hybrid with various game modes and challenges. the store page and the in-game how to play section explains everything, the goal is to create 4-letter words with falling letters, aided by various power-ups and score multiplier tiles, a'la scrabble. diagonals also work. basic presentation but good functionality. the mouse works in the menus, there are separate volumes, rebindable controls, resolutions, windowed mode, dark mode, timer and profanity toggles, searchable word list, player stats, leaderboards, local multiplayer, and the game can be paused anytime. would be an easy recommendation even if it weren't completely free (not just a demo with a bunch of paid dlc). the only issue I found was mouse wheel scrolling speed on relevant screens, it's too slow.7 found this helpful

This game could use a bit more vocabulary, I think. Also adding more than only 4-letter words would suffice in terms of gameplay, as the board's big enough to fit larger words.1 found this helpful
I mean, I don't know the actual gameplay, but I've used this for non-steam games that I want to use Remote Play for. Pretty nice. Thank you.
This is a great cozy game to pick up! I just need to learn better 4 letter words...
This is great! However, I find the speed to the letters a bit to slow. I would reccomend being able to hold the down key, or the down button on a controller's d-pad instead of making the player force the letter down one slot each time.
