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
What a beautiful game!!
I was addicted to the app in minutes! It’s fun and visually stunning, and I love the good and bad gubbins- it’s such an original idea! My ONLY criticism is it can be a bit fiddly on iPhone? I use up all my undos all the time, not because I want to replay letters, but because I’ve placed them down one cell out of place. Would be nice to preview your letters before you officially play them?
A gem in an otherwise ad-hungry App Store!
What a breath of fresh air this little game is. It reminds me of games like Teeny Tiny Town or Mini Metro with thoughtful yet effective simplicity.
My only feedback is please make videos that play when you click on each of your gubbins collection as some of the explanations don’t make much sense on their own. A visual example of each power up being used to its full potential in the collection screen would make this game literally perfect.
Just keep adding updates and content and I’m on board for life! 👍
Can confirm, is a word game
Lets you play once a day for free and if you take your time, that’s a decent stint. Only costs £6 to make that play unlimited and a chunk of that money goes to charity.
It’s basically scrabble but with power ups and you lose tiles after you play them. My only wish so far is that the fin tile that you end with could be used to complete words, like you have to actually submit the word fin (or anything you made with it) to finish.
Not seen any ads or annoying pushes to upgrade.
