Sqword
Make words, score points, compete with friends, repeat.
Back in 2021, my friends and I got bored and built a word game called Sqword. The premise is pretty simple (place cards to make words) but requires a bit of strategy and probability. With some free time on my hands, I’ve revived and enhanced the game. I’m genuinely looking for and would really appreciate feedback on the game including things you like, don’t like, and even better ifs. Thanks in advance!
The tile placement mechanic where you have to think about both the word you're forming and the letters you're leaving open is really clever, feels like Scrabble meets a tactical card game. Love that you're actually asking for honest feedback instead of just hyping it up.
Played a quick round and got hooked on how the placement decisions force you to think ahead instead of just spelling. The probability angle adds a nice tension to each turn.
Played a quick round and was surprised how much the probability angle sneaks in, weighing where to place cards actually mattered more than I expected. Would love to see a solo mode against bots next.
the card-based mechanic feels really tactile, reminds me of scrabble but with a smarter use of probability in the scoring. nice revival on something you built with friends, the polish shows you actually cared about the small stuff.
Played a quick round and was surprised by how much the probability angle comes into play, way more than a typical word game. The card placement mechanic feels fresh, though I wish there was a quick tutorial to ease new players in.
played a couple rounds on my phone and the placement strategy is sneakily tricky, way more depth than i expected from the simple rules
Took it for a quick spin and the probability angle caught me off guard, turns simple letter placement into a real brain workout. Nice touch having you ask for feedback instead of just pushing features.
the clean grid layout and how the card placement doubles as a strategic layer really stands out. nice work bringing it back and asking for feedback too, that kind of openness is rare.
