Ratings and reviews

Almost addicting, but stuck at frustrating. After achieving Endless Mode, can you decrease the rate at which the goal scales? It's not much of a reward to only get 2-3 more turns after beating a level. Even with getting a tile doubled repeatedly up past 2k, scoring 2mil is just an irritatingly out of reach endeavor. when I finish a level, I want to ride my laurels and max out my points, not quickly hit an inevitable wall. if you make it so endless mode is actually enjoyable I'll rate 5 stars

I'm having a ton of fun with this. It's like Scrabble meets Balatro putting more thought into the gameplay.

incredible game, very challenging and oh so satisfying when in the grove
