Description
Gubbins is a friendly puzzle game where players place tiles to construct words, with the help and hindrance of wildcard modifiers called Gubbins.
Minimalist typography alongside kooky cartoons serve as a canvas for moreish wordplay. Dig through the draw pile and make words on the board with hilarious friends wreaking havoc.
What’s New
Version 1.1.1
Hello Gubheads! Today we have an important patch that includes critical fixes and small QoL features. Thank you kindly for your bug reports and postcards!
Fixed an issue with the Black Hole which would cause other Gubbins to break (UFO, Chili, Meteor)
Fixed an issue with the Meteor Gubbin, and its ability to track jumbled tiles
Meteors will now try to avoid landing near each other, as to not break the game (and our minds)
Fixed issue with Sock Gubbin trying to destroy itself
Sped up Mushroom Gubbin spotlight animation
Pencils will now prioritise creating 'common' words
Fixed missing 'Saved to Photos' popup in postcard menu
Added Streak sticker for postcard making
Added a new additional option for turning off streak tracker on main menu (nested in Accessibility & More in the Settings)
Bundles and purchased items should more accurately update in the Kiosk based on what you have purchased.
Fixed issues with using undo after some Gubbins (Black Hole, Meteor)
Added the pause button during Gubbin selection to allow exiting the game.
Known Issues
We are aware of a rare bug that causes Gubbin selection to break. We are investigating this issue.
Playing a UFO, Chili or Meteor on the same turn as a Black Hole expires can cause some tiles to appear in the wrong place temporarily. This is only a visual issue, and only while the tiles update to the Black Hole's rotation.
Ratings and Reviews
THAT SOUND DESIGN <3
i love this little game so much! it has weaseled its way into my daily routine and my friends and i love sharing our works of art. i love that even if you get a bad score, you can still make a funny little collage to make up for your failure :’)
the sfx and music are perfection - i refuse to play with the sound off so will hide in the bathroom at work with the volume on low instead of playing silently at my desk hehe. i love fricken gubbins!
Play around and make words
I downloaded the game yesterday and I love it. It’s silly and lets you be creative and just play around, without the pressure of any time limits or having to reach a score to pass the level, like other word games. It’s also fairly simple to learn and has minimal, intuitive controls. I can already tell that the collectable aspect, achievements and variety are going to keep me playing for a while. The soundtrack is fun, I’m a big fan of the haptic feedback (very satisfying), and the “postcard” creator is hilarious.
Unfortunately for me, the app has been crashing quite frequently (after each game, and occasionally during). Luckily, it has remembered my progress when I re-open the app. For Early Access though it’s looking great!
Love it but dictionary desperately needs an update
Congrats on a fantastic game. Incredibly satisfying and very addictive! I find myself getting frustrated when I’ve got a sweet 9-letter word on the board but the dictionary doesn’t accept it - especially when I’ve just duplicated that row! Recently these include “pluralise” and “oxidising”. I have had some issues with plural nouns as well. “Frailness” was another one, though perhaps not as well accepted as “frailty”. Perhaps a way to check a potential entry against the dictionary would be helpful! Understand you’re still in early release but thought feedback might be helpful.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for the review and taking the time to give us feedback. Such a bummer you made these impressive words and the game didn't accept 'em. We're going to investigate what's going on, find out if there's a pattern to why these words aren't in our database etc. At the very least we can ensure that we will add 'em manually.
Thanks again, keep on Gubbing.
