Studio Folly has announced that Gubbins is now available on iOS and Android, letting players get a hold of the quirky word game as supported by Witch Beam (of Unpacking fame) and author-slash-YouTuber Hank Green. With the endorsement of the popular science personality, the game is happily donating 10% of proceeds to help with lowering rates of maternal and child mortality in Sierra Leone via a non-profit charity.

In Gubbins, you can look forward to showing off your wordy wisdom by placing tiles to craft words. Odd little Gubbins will both lend you a hand or cause lots of merry mayhem, spicing up the gameplay of your solo Scrabble sojourn. The funky visuals add to the title's charm, as well as the minimalist typography with a bit of a roguelike element.
