I Love This Game! typing words for blackout is such a cool idea!!

Submitted

I love it! Just, when i type "by" for "bye", it accepted?

Developer

Yeah any substring matches. I was originally going to make the game about regex (which it does still supports), but ran out of time

Submitted

Definitely a short game but understandable, due to it being made in 4.5 hours. The sound effect was a little bit loud, but I wished the game was made to give random words each level and that it would go on infinitely like an arcade style game. But still a short and fun game.

Submitted

4.5 hours is a crazy time constraint. Simple, short game.

I've noticed that you only need to type 1 letter of the words before submitting. And you can do multiple at a time if the words share the same letter. Idk why.

I was originally going to make the game about using regex (which it still supports). I didn’t have time to explain regex so I just changed to not mentioning it.

It is a fun but very short game. I really wish it was longer because I think it would be awesome. Good job! 

Submitted

It was, fun? I mean it's a good prototype made in 4.5 hours, but it's js typing, and also it's way shorter than I expected but that's okay. Good game.

Submitted

It was shorter than I expected, but it's cool for a jam game made in a few hours. Someone needs to speedrun this game!

Submitted

Incredible work in that amount of time. It's a very brief prototype, but I think this showcases a really neat mechanic.

Submitted

Very good! Especially for under 4.5 hours

Submitted

Very satisfying! A bit reminiscent of surreal edutainment games
