Big thank you to the Game Grumps for playing and  for the shoutout!  And a thank you to all the Lovelies in the comments here and on the video. We're glad people are enjoying the game!

Watch the episode they play the game here!

Update 1.1 Patch notes: 

  • Fixed rare errors where the AI would play out of turn. 
  • Fixed text not appearing on screen properly (invisible or glitchy looking). 
  • Added an Android version of the game for mobile. 

Update 1.2 Patch notes: 

  • Minor visual fixes.

Update 1.3 Patch notes: 

  • Fixed some ways AI would glitch when attempting to solve by misspelling words. 

Update 1.4 Patch notes:

  • The final round menu now disables the free letters (RSTLE) and the 3 consonants and 1 vowel you choose. (Thanks Dan, I completely overlooked that!) 
  • Fixed more AI bugs found. Thank you for the comments pointing those out! Those helped a lot with finding where to start. 
  • Added a button to check the puzzle and look back at the players as desired. 
  • Corrected phrases to match the exact spelling / words.
  • Fixed a bug with the audio sliders on the pause menu not playing SFX to hear the current level. Also fixed an audio bug where the title screen could not change the volume after finishing / quitting a game.  
  • Fixed uploaded file v1.3 because it said v1.2 but was v1.3 (only the folder name was incorrect)
  • Adding v1.4 separate just to keep the version from the episode here as well. 
  • Added a button on the title screen to the episode.
  • Updated Android build to version v1.4
  • The word Unintelligible has been left alone currently, working on something that will take a little longer than this quick patch.

Fun game! So I ran into a bug where as you can see I clearly won but the game crowned the third player as the winner.😭 This was on the android version. I had to kinda laugh about cause I should've known the game was against me when in the last three rounds I got a bunch of lose a turns and bankrupts lol.🤣

Just coupla bugs/issues.

- Vowel issue (seen it's been reported just repeating)

- Pause issue, not sure if it's a constant issue with pausing but I paused on COM 2's turn to go get uber at the door, came back and game stopped working properly, they guessed same guess over and over and when it got back to my turn after several times they entered wrong answer I couldn't click on anything.

- Com's keep guessing same thing over and over and not sure if you can fix it but they guess answer with spaces free and lastly they guess letters already available/not available, so an AI issue. (basically they dumb asf and then guess entire answer with 1 letter, so inconsistent)

Game is mostly fun otherwise. Also playing on 1.4 on PC.

Thanks for letting me know! I'll take another look at it. I thought I got it that time. I'm glad you're still enjoying it! 

Updating how the AI works to make them a bit smarter is something I planned on adding to the next update.

Coolio.

In regards to AI, if possible, need to make them guess more letters, when I had TENNIS TENNIS TENNIS they didnt' guess a single letter... and I got 3 Bankrupts and a Missed Turn, so was them solving with just the three S's and I had to do all the work (and when I did get a turn I didn't know the answer so guessed wrong letters over and over and they just kept on solving with wrong answer).

I'd test it with the TENNIS x3 answer as that one REALLY fked up.

Also Congratulations on getting the Grumps to play ye game, I can't imagine how awesome that is.

Yeah right now the AI only has a 1/3 chance to pick any option (1/2 if they can't buy a vowel). I was going to add a weighted system so they heavily focus on spinning but can still buy vowels and try to solve (less often). Some changes like that shouldn't be hard to add.

And thank you! It was an awesome feeling that they played it and a lot of hopeful nervousness it didn't break on them 😅. We're really glad people are enjoying it even with the bugginess. I really appreciate how understanding and patient everyone is being with us getting these few bugs figured out.

I had a puzzle answer be "Meeting My New York"
It should be Meeting By New York or as Dan said Meeting My New Wife

Good catch! I just found that one in their reaction compilation again. I'll update it with a few of the other fixes I'm getting ready. Thanks for playing!

Really cool and funny, but there was a bug I ran into. 

First, the computer chose a vowel after spinning the wheel. Later, after all of the vowels were used, they tried to buy a vowel, but there were none left. After a few seconds, the COM solved, got it wrong, but the vowel screen was still up. Trying to get rid of it, I paused during the transition to my turn, but that softlocked the game. 

Thanks for playing! I'm glad you're enjoying it. 
I'm trying to figure that one out now. That seems to be the one most people run into. 
I'll post an update when I get it fixed as well.

This is awesome, but I really wish the wheel stopped spinning faster. 

Also, I was playing against the ai here and one selected "buy a vowel" when there were none left to choose and I was stuck there for a while! I was clicking randomly and it somehow got unstuck. But the "buy a vowel" menu was then up over the main selection menu (the one that says "spin/buy a vowel/solve")!

Thank you! And thanks for letting me know, I thought I got that one fixed. It usually doesn't happen too often, but I'm going to be checking through and finding that one. Hopefully it doesn't take too long to get it working properly.

Damn, this has been published since 2022 and now they've finally played it. Makes me wanna rewatch the old episodes so I can find the ridiculous guesses they've made that might be an actual answer for this.

I went back through so many videos searching for the most random phrases, iconic phrases etc. Funny moment compilations were a great help for this!

Was playing the game and ran into a bug, choosing a vowel after a spin can bug out the buy vowel menu. Not sure if its a one off but currently in a loop on the buy screen, I think the AI wanted to buy "I" but I already put it on the board. If I may suggest, maybe adding a back button to that menu just incase situations like this happen as the guys also ran into a similar issue with a miss click. Other then that its great ^^ good job 

That bug is so rare I thought I finally squashed it! It happens so infrequently I couldn't even figure out a potential cause for days. I'll take a look at it again and see if something I missed. The back button I'll see how easy it is with my jumbled mess of code, I was going off the wheel of fortune games where the choices are final. But it does make sense to have that choice too. And thank you for playing!

I hope more lovelies come check this out after the boys played it today!

I hope so too! It was made just to have a fan game. I had no idea they were going to play it. I sent an email to them after I made it in 2022. Seeing the episode today was VERY shocking but it feels good to know they also enjoyed it.

Game looks great and was a fun watch on the show today!

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! The episode was great.
