GUBBINS — It's a word game

Hello Gubheads! Today we have an important patch that includes bug fixes and improvements. Thank you kindly for your bug reports and postcards!

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.

v1.1 Astro Update! The Astro Update brings five new intergalactic pals to collect and master— The UFO, Planet, Constellation, Meteor and Black Hole ~and~ and some other rad stuff! Our new and improved Dictionary will now generate cute easter egg responses to over 1000 more words (thanks Nerdfighters) celebrated with a shiny new animation, there’s a funky menu update, a punctuation pack, new purchasable bundles and more!

- Massive dictionary improvements! Your words are far more likely to be considered valid now. - Fixed a bug that caused the game to get stuck on launch if you're offline or have patchy internet - Various other bug fixes and under the hood improvements.

- Memory usage improvements - Game will now attempt to catch gubbins related errors and show an alert, then will destroy the culprit tile. You can report a bug from this alert screen. - Bugfixes to Car, Lightbulb and Chilli - Fixed issue with last gubbin placed not going on when FIN tile is revealed. - Fixed gatecrashing accessibility

Nothing to see here, just more daily data!

Thanks to the dedicated folks who are still checking in for their dailies, we love you. Not much to see here, just some minor improvements and maintenance whilst we focus our sights on big monetisation and non-iOS platform work. MAKE SOME WORDS! - More Daily levels so we don’t run out! - Improved and generally increased the speed of Gubbins effects and animations - UI refinements to the Gub selection screen, the header buttons, etc. - Updated tile and slot colours for Gubbin effects - Chili now always generates spicy words and correctly varies in length. - Behind the scenes improvements to our word database, our postcard maker (should load quicker) - Various bug fixes, including a Cassette fix and Magnet placement improvements.

May 25th, v0.216.3 Hello folks, hope you're well. No monetisation again for this update so you’re free for the next month or so again, or I guess more accurately WE’RE free. Some rad exciting changes here, as always please let us know what you think. GENERAL GUBBINS ADJUSTMENTS — FLIP ‘EM - Full Gubbin Descriptions rewrite. Every Gubbin had its text revamped to be simpler and easier to consume by your brain meat, hopefully without losing much specificity. - Rotating Gubbins! A handful of good Gubbins have had their “row” or “column” target replaced with the rotate-able “in a line” target. These Gubbins are; Cherry, Chili, Trumpet, Cassette and Car. - Gubbin tiles can now float / be moved by Gubbin effects. - Gubbin tiles can now be locked by the Padlock, etc. SPECIFIC GUBBINS ADJUSTMENTS — Boat, Drum and SUNSHINE, baby - Boat reworked. Effect now reads “Allows tiles in the line to be picked up and moved.” (Charge 5) Similar to its compatriot, the Hot Air Balloon, the Boat allows you to move tiles but the effect is applied in a line. - Drum reworked. Effect now reads “Adds moveable ‘S’ tiles to adjacent spaces.” (Charge 3) Now the Drum won’t gum up your draw pile, which I think everyone found annoying. The S tiles generated will remain floating indefinitely until moved once, regardless of whether or not the Drum is still on the board. - Sunshine reworked. Effect now reads “Splits all face-up tiles in the draw pile into singles.” (Charge 4). Now every face up tile, and any that flip face-up whilst a Sun is out are split into singles. So sleek, so seamless. - Reduced Magnet tiles targeted and moved to 1 (was 2, but why was it ever 2, that’s the question). DAILIES EVOLVE — HELL YEAH - I feel like we’re learning a lot about what feels good and what doesn’t. We really welcome your feedback here, but be gentle with us okay. - We’re striving to hit the following cadence, it’s subject to change but hope you like it; - Tuesday: Letter day, the next letter of the alphabet, weekly. - Saturday: Unjumble, this day will feature a jumbled up 7+ letter word and an infinite Boat / Hot Air Balloon to accommodate the unjumble and is a pretty helpful tool generally. - Sunday: SUN DAY, this day will always feature an infinite Sun on the board, effectively making the whole game single-tiles only. NEAT. MISC IMPROVEMENTS - Many animations and effects that would block player input have been sped up, or have stopped blocking player input entirely. - Added a loading spinner to the postcard maker, that thing is getting chonky. - More sweet audio stuff, namely a cool effect over the Gubbins select screen, pause menu, etc. Love you ASITP. - Various dictionary improvements including a massive reduction to garbage 2-3 letter words and hateful word filter improvements. - Further refinements to the Gubbins Selection screen. FIXES - Solved a corrupted game data bug that would cause Classic Mode to become unresponsive. - Raincloud tiles no longer generate artefacts and lines. - Heaps of bits and pieces.

Hello folks, thank you for playing Gubbins! The initial softlaunch was a huge success and we’re genuinely stoked that folks are enjoying the game, and triple stoked that you’re sharing postcards (never stop). It’s worth mentioning that monetisation will likely be landing in the next major early access update we do in 1-2 months time. Don’t let it scare you, please embrace it warmly so we can continue to make Gub-related content and even future games. NEW GAME MODE — Pencil Mode No bad Gubbins, no Gub selection, only Pencils. We almost called this “Mum Mode” because Darcy’s mum requested it. BALANCE & GUBBIN ADJUSTMENTS — Infinity Pencil - Pencil Gubbin now has an unlimited charge (it will never expire on the board) - Dragging across a Pencil Gubbin during word creation will now reroll the word it gives you, rather than staying as one particular letter. Eg. attempting to lock in [G][R][PENCIL][V][E] will randomly give GROVE or GRAVE each time you drag across it, so you can fish for one of the other if you so choose. - The Pencil Gubbin will always be scored as a common (low scoring) letter. Partially because it’s already super good, and mostly because we don’t want power gamers “fishing” for high scoring solutions. - Car Gubbin now attempts to make a word on the row you play it. - New Lightbulb Gubbin effect, “Takes all of the single tiles on the board and attempts to make a word with them on this row.” - Both the Car and the Lightbulb have seen an under-the-hood rework, and now will generate the longest word it can with the letters provided. Previously the Car could “fail” and produce jumbled garbage, but now it will settle for a word with a portion of the letters. - Skateboard Gubbin charge down to 2 (was 4, lest we forget) - 2-letter words are now always worth 5 points. Clearing difficult / high value letters with tiny, often garbage words was too rewarding, and we’d like 2-letter words to only be optimal as an editing tool or for end-game clean up. MORE DAILIES — Dailies on the daily - Our first batch of dailies were quite unruly and we’re aware that some of them felt overwhelming and difficult. We used those to test the waters, and we’re guiding future levels with our takeaways from the first batch. NEW STICKERS — show off your score - Score stickers have been implemented to the postcard maker, so you can now officially brag when you get an astronomical score. NEW GUBBIN SELECT SCREEN — it’s hot Some new players were confused about the Gubbin Selection screen (in that they didn’t know there was a choice to be made here). This new screen is clearer and looks better. HEAPS OF SFX UPDATES — It’s sounding crisp af - New Gubbin sounds - New Giant sounds - New UI and gameplay sounds - Mixing adjustments NEW SETTINGS AND PAUSE MENUS — let’s go! - Looks good feels good FIXES: - Fixed a crash that occurred when playing the Rainbow Gubbin on the first turn of a game - High score achievement will now correctly unlock - The score header will now correctly update - Various fixes for our overzealous profanity filter, which would result in randomly changing letters on the board - Fixed an issue where the Padlock Gubbin was changing letters on the board and gaslighting our players - Many minor tweaks, fixes and optimisations KNOWN ISSUES - The postcard maker may take a few seconds to correctly load the assets in. We’ll find a solution to this in a future build.
