What an excellent game!

In a sea of word games it is always a joy to find an outstanding one and Tumblewords easily receives that distinction. I am blown away (and hooked), what a fun and engaging game! Great job TED, keep em’ coming.

Hi Ritec23, and thanks for the review! Hope you continue having fun playing! :)

Bots in Player vs player?

I really enjoy this game, but recently in the “player vs. player” mode, opponents will join a game but act entirely like a bot. They respond instantly no matter when you take your turn, and they don’t seem concerned with winning, so it makes the game kind of pointless. I’d rather wait a long time for a real opponent than play against a bot when I can do that in other parts of the game.

One other thing I don’t like is when the buttons bounce around on the home page. It’s weirdly stressful.

Also maybe it’s just me, but the quotes and fun facts aren’t that interesting. I read them because I feel like I should, but honestly I just want to skip past them.

Great Concept, Could Use Improvement

This is one of the better word games I’ve seen in a while. I love the game concept and how clean the UI is. I’m also a fan of the different challenges the game offers.

I would like to know what dictionary this game uses and/or how the list of valid words is generated. I’ve had some very common words not be accepted (e.g. “nerd” and “gene”) and I found it quite frustrating.

I also wish there were a way to set an option for timed moves when searching for a game. Something like 1-2 minutes per move would be ideal. At the very least, for the longer player vs. player games, there should be a maximum number of days you can take to make a move before forfeiting the game.

Thank you for all your hard work in developing this game! Looking forward to future the updates.
