Funky word game GUBBINS launching today! Imagine scrabble but super weird!!
About the game
Gubbins is a friendly puzzle game where you place tiles to construct words, with the help and hindrance from weird little pals called Gubbins. Minimalist typography and mischievous cartoons with unlockable abilities bring a psychedelic roguelike element to the word game world. It’s essentially Solitaire meets sentient Scrabble with hilarious friends wreaking havoc.
Find, collect, and master 25 mischievous little Gubbin pals who can help (or hinder) as you build juicy words out of letter tiles. Strive for a high score with the words you want to make, rather than merely detecting them. Share your worst / best finds in funky collages with friends via postcards using the words you have created!
Gubbins is the debut title for Studio Folly, and has seen investments from Witch Beam (of Unpacking fame), VicScreen, Screen Australia and most recently Hank Green (famous internet science guy, founder of VidCon, one half of Vlogbrothers). Thanks to Hank’s support we’ll be contributing 10% of Gubbins revenue to charity.
Game Features:
- Craft impressive (or rude) words from letter tiles!
- Little pals called Gubbins can help (or mess you up)
- Make sweet or saucy postcards for your mates
- Get a high score and unlock achievos
- Statistically improbable for any game to ever be the same – with new daily level, well… daily!
Support from Hank Green and Unpacking devs Witch Beam
Even before launch, the charming word game won over the hearts of the game dev community and is getting support and financial help from two industry powerhouses.
Popular science man, mega YouTuber and best-selling author Hank Green discovered the game on TikTok and has since then been such a big fan that he’s supporting the title with extra funds! In exchange, Studio Folly will donate 10% of Gubbins proceeds to a non-profit charity focused on reducing maternal and child mortality in Sierra Leone. A chunk of every purchase will go towards saving lives, forever!
Additionally, Witch Beam, the team behind the award-winning indie super hit Unpacking, has been supporting Studio Folly through development.
