my keyboard is broken now

Absolutely one of the best games in this jam, FINALLY something new. Video games will never be the same after this.

I especially liked the part where I went afweif'mcz/.,;oq.a/e,fmijcz;eneq/a;zjia/qknfiz;z''q'lq';kr/.akj'z;up[qq'f./z/zj['qwoep[truhgvxbnxmz/nzepurw'yjw'q/.etj[pxugqetn/zn;lbj[qrtuqoeut]zobjz/c,mnv/zfhjx][njk'ibk]wtq][yq]weroturiy]qptikqwoetz/cvmzBm;'ztjbzkjkgljt]qoujwpe]yuzjb]vcspokjaerjq'etm/n and that got me 8,000 points

Really cool idea, super creative! I like the art style for the graphics and sprites! Very difficult, I thought I was good with a keyboard but now I'm second-guessing myself... Nice work for sure! :D

i love the idea. so sick, cool controls. nice art. very cool, very niiiiiiice

great idea! love the creative use of keyboard controls. totally unique take on the tower defense genre which is rare! i also did "entire keyboard as control scheme" so it was cool to see another take on the idea (though very different lol)

Completely unexpected gameplay but it's super creative. I got super insecure about my ability to type and know where keys are after playing lol. It was pretty fun and unique, I don't have any criticisms!

Very unique entry! Definitely very tough though, and I got a glitch where I kept respawning with 0 power lol. My favorite part is definitely the menu's art style, almost wish the whole game looked like that.

This is a really interesting entry, but this game is too tough for me. The different weapons like the laser are really cool but it eats up your power super fast, so I think the shotgun is the best weapon. I had to double check the instructions to understand how to change because it's not something very intuitive, but it's just a really unique control scheme that makes sense in terms of gameplay. The artwork for the game really looks like something from a retro computer game. Definitely needs some FX juice like screen shake & particles to make shotting and killing the enemies more satisfying, would definitely make it more fun. 

Very unique idea! Unfortunately, Merb is screwed with my skillset
RIP Merb

Serious animation skills. Nice entry!

Cool game! The tips screenshot definitely helped me out, so thank you for that. There are a good amount of powerups and skill involved in this game, it's very well put together in those aspects.

You're really great at drawing too! I just love this guy:

FOR MERB!!! 

What a crazy concept! It reminds me broadly of an old itch game called Systems Nominal, but honestly I'm not sure I've played another game like this. The typing-test element of the game adds an extra level of brainpower, although it's pretty easy to tank your power if your fingers fall out of home row configuration for a moment. I really enjoyed the shotgun, but I wish there was more reason to switch weapons on the fly, and maybe a reminder about the weapon codes during the game. Super unique idea! This game definitely stands out across other jam entries.

I really like the Artwork for the main menu and itch page. The concept of the game is pretty unique as well! Great work!

Love the idea of a typing-based tower defence type game, though Merb should not have to rely on my awful typing skills for his survival.

This is super original, especially the idea to change shot types by holding down the specific keys. I didn't get very far, but I'm sure once you get the hang of it and start typing away like a madman, it gets insane. Would love to seem more of this game!

Turning the keyboard into towers for a tower defense game is an interesting concept, and this game plays off of that well in interesting ways such as spelling particular words, losing keys, and mapping the space onscreen to the physical keyboard. The latter in particular creates an interesting alt-controller in-the-zone experience once you’ve gotten used to the screen to keyboard mapping. Well done!
