This confused me for a second before I realised that ED doesn't always mean eating disorder

this game looks SO much fun its that balatro type of rouguelike that actually makes me want to play it

Not playing DEALER at 25:20 was wild

would love a second episode for this!

It's like balatro but words :D

I agree with you i wish they leaned into the mechanics of scrabble more. Building to certain tiles, boons that affect the board in more drastic ways. Would be really cool if there were little minions or enemies on the board you could take out by using a certain rank of letter on their tile during boss battles.

Blight - a disease in plants or has a serious negative effect Blite - a purple ammorath(plant with purple/pink flowers) They're different works that just sound alike.

Thanks for introducing us to this game! That almost makes the linguistic felonies committed here forgivable.

Hi Olexa! New subscriber here, just wanted to say that you do excellent job covering both my favorite video game categories, roguelite and word games. Couldn't think of a better place to comment that than under this video 🙂

Suggesting "orbist", then settling for "orbs" when ORBITS was right there! x.x

Not sure, but from how some things are worded it seems like it expects you to do multiple words on the same turn, like when you made "girl" you could have added "fool" vertically

@ianlucas6635

No, its just standard scrabble gameplay, where you must play in a single line, but that line can be adjacent to another word to form two words at once. How that's supposed to happen in such short rounds though, I have no clue.

@darioferretti3758

Makes sense, it very much throws me off the "you can choose your strategy, few long words or many short", there is no incentive in making short words since the turns are limited. Also the singularity relic that says "+25 when playing only one world" now sounds very weird, it's almost always except specific cases

Every time he says "uh" or "umm" in just the first 10 minutes: 0:19 0:23 0:29 0:34 0:47 0:54 0:57 1:01 1:14 1:30 1:33 1:43 1:55 2:09 2:28 2:42 3:21 3:29 3:50 3:56 4:04 4:05 4:12 4:22 4:33 4:57 5:18 5:28 5:43 5:58 6:04 6:11 6:46 6:58 7:17 7:44 8:15 8:28 8:41 9:01 9:08 9:15 9:40 9:45 9:57 9:58 9:59

IMO the game should either let you stack the bonus or prevent you from adding it to a tile that already has it.

Ah, Orbist. One who... Orbs.

Not sure if Olexa doesnt know the strat or if the game doesnt support it, but if you have a word like ZIG, and then next turn you put a S on it, you should be able to spell out a whole word with the S going the other direction so you get points for 2 words.

WORD BASED GAME YESSSS THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE

Actually the best day of my life

I've seen Gothic play this before and I have to say I'm very interested in Balatoesk games. The more unusual roguelikes the better

Yo, I really like this one

You had FIREFLY as a word. Must be a Dr Who fanboy 😂❤

ok but if you think about it, scrabble is basically a roguelike, because if you die then the run ends

Just started the video, but I hope this game was development to be as expansive with words as possible, to make it easier for them or mods to add words in other languages

tried demo thanks olexa

s goes insane in this

6 minutes in: “pilas” is not an English word, but “lapis” is (as in lapis lazuli) (sorry for griping, I should probably just play the demo / get the game myself, thank you for sharing it)

I tried opening the demo and it displays too large on my screen for me to play it, anyone else?

You know when you play almost an entire run, only to draw a rack with no vowels, use all your discards, and still draw no vowels, and you just have to resign? We should at least get one free letter each turn or something.

13:33 Getting old be like...

How did you get ORBIST but not ORBITS?!

Orbist... not a word.. Orbits... a word.

Miner > mine. When i saw Rem(a)in. With the ? Being an A

googled it; Blite: (blaɪt ) noun. any of a variety of plants in the family Chenopodiaceae, esp Amaranthus blitum. Also called: purple amaranth. Collins English Dictionary.

All of the people getting angry at every video without the game's name in the title are gonna get humbled by this one.

It's good game for people who know words. I am not one of those people

Ай бұрын

Close enough. Both peninsulas in europe

Honestly, game look really fun, but I wish it had more identity. It looks too similar to balatro, and while it definitely has a spin on gameplay, it looks pretty generic when it comes to design. Jokers, Tarot Cards and Planets are far more unique and on theme than relics and boons. Don’t get me wrong, I will probably buy this game on release, I just wish it had more… uniqueness in it. Without it, I think, it will be hard to gain more audience. Balatro and other games which achieved it had this potential because they felt new, unique and coherent.

Inscryabble

We should stop guessing. How about boshie?

Jesus i about woke my daughter up.. give me a mellonk' lol wtf

Hiii

you find such good games. wtf

Olexa I love your content with all my heart but as someone who loves language and enjoys scrabble a lot you missing some of the most obvious words (or mispelling very easy words) hurt me in a way no lover could. Phenomenal game and content but I think I might die.

Wait… did he just try to make the word slamo? NO WAY THERE IS NO WAY HE JUST TRIED TO MAKE THE WORD SLAMO I am aware that he probably doesn’t know what slamo is but wow; if you also don’t know what slamo is, you won’t understand, but even if you tried to figure out what slamo was, you still wouldn’t understand. Do I sound insane? Heh.

Will Anderson would disapprove of your playstyle of being bad at words

Unfortunately this is just one of those games that enables severe back seating… cool game though!

I tried watching your python vids but your voice is so different it was like another person altogether

Oh no, not a roguelike scrabble game
