Nice concept c:

Concept's pretty great. The pixel art graphics are gorgeous and the music was used quite nicely.

Does seem pretty weird that the names become normal names with letters added, though. The difficulty is fairly random because of that since you could get two of the same letters in a row, or two letters on the complete opposite side of the keyboard.

I'm gonna have to agree with one of the earlier comments saying all names should be real ones, though, with the name length/difficulty increasing every time you kill X number of heroes.

Still, pretty fun game, definitely needs some expansion.

This game was really fun I really liked the art direction and music. I had some visual bugs with the characters names but other then that everything was pretty smooth. Nice entry!!

Thanks! I hope the visual bugs didn't ruin the experience too much. Could you describe the bug in more details please?

Some of the names would come across with the first character filled in - you'd still need to type the letter to proceed and the rest of the word wouldn't exactly match the white word background

Gotcha! We'll look into it to see what the cause may be. Thanks for the feedback! :D

Nice one, but hp bar could be higher, above lich. Or maybe it's just my resolution moved that

YA, automatically adapting different resolutions was a problem we were encountering and didn't have a reliable solution. Will have to continue learning to figure out different approaches :)

This reminds me of Typing of the Dead. I love the art in this! Very fun. I wish the screen was just a liiittle bit wider to give a better view, but very nice nevertheless!

Glad you like art :D Didn't have much experience drawing pixel arts prior to this so I was slightly worried XD.
And ya, I agree the screen could've been wider, me and my teammate was having some trouble coordinating the different sizes ;P

Very cool game! I enjoyed this one a lot! 31 is my best score!

I think it could be better to have real name every time instead of having a base name with some extra random letters at the end. We could start with names with 3 letters, and every "X" heroes, it increase by 1 (so it's not necessary to up the speed).

This is just a suggestion, I really enjoy your game, Congratulations! :)
