How does the game fit the theme?
The game primarily relies on the Wizard create an attack using spell combinations of W, A, S, and D, but as the game progresses, you'll find unexpected foes in it— that might probably need other "spells"— Because Nothing Can Go Wrong for the mighty Super Duper Space Wizard, right? ;D

Art is beautiful and game also cool, but hard :)
Thank you for playing!
I like the concept a lot. I will admit, I was frustrated that the controls listed on the page were WASD and space... and then I started seeing H, E, I, A, O in the game. Also, I would recommend starting the player on a lower difficulty and ramping it up after a couple successes. Having 3 enemies with 2-4 letters each, and only mere seconds to try to figure out the sequence was too much. But the concept has a lot of potential and I think it could be a lot of fun with some fine tuning.
Yeah, we noticed it as well
We intentionally added it as a twist/anomaly to fit the game jam theme. We originally set it to appear less often, more like an easter egg, but it seems to show up more frequently than we intended. We'll definitely fix it in the future!
Thank you for playing the game!
fun and original typing game! like the illustrative style too!
Thank you for playing our game! glad that you like it!
I love this art and gameplay
Thank you for playing!
Fun game, love the art and music, fun gameplay (also you dont need a quit button in a web build ;P)
Thank you for playing! I'm glad you love it!
I love that retro artstyle. When it comes to gameplay, it's really fun and approachable, though i must admit oiia cat caught me off guard. Great game overall! Good job guys.
Thank you for playing!
yeah,, we intentionally add the OIIA cat as an easter egg XD
The art and animations are *chefs kiss* and the color scheme is perfect. loved the gameplay too but i felt like it could start easier (1 letter, a double letter) and increase the challenge to harder combinations. overall, I LOVED IT!
Thank you for playing! Yeah, we noticed about the difficulty spike at the beginning, it was probably because of the twist/anomaly enemies we set in the game, But it seems like it appears to often at the beginning of the game XD
we'll sure fix it in the future!
hahaha nothing can go wrong with adding anomalies, right? Right??!
Love the name, and the gameplay is so fun and great visuals too!!
Thank you! I played yours and it was a unique experience!
Thats a pretty funny game, i love the style clash of a wizard and the 80s retro digital theme! The controls are tight and fast pace, really good!
I've encountered a bug, at 4 enemies - last ones time was running endlessly and killing the wizard.
Ahh, thanks for noticing the bug, I'll note it! I'm really glad you love it! Thank you!
Rhytm game with a twist - great gameplay, graphics, retro futuristic vibe and music! Feels very polished. Yeah checkpoints would be great as it's not so easy :D
Thank you! What a charming game you have!
Overall Gamefeel is very nice. Everything just worked perfectly. Feels pretty polished and good to play. I could see myself playing this for hours on end haha.
Sometimes I tried to hit backspace to delete a letter, I think my brain is still in programmer mode hahaha. (not critic, just a funny anecdote I wanted to tell :D)
Ahh, FYI, I suggested to my friend to implement a backspace feature, but we didn’t have time to do it (since we only started development on day 4 of the game jam, and I only thought about it in the last hours before the submission deadline).
It’ll probably be added in the next update!
Thank you for playing the game! glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Oh really? I thought it was intentional because of "Nothing can go wrong", so you cannot correct your inputs haha.
It's just my muscle memorie that tells me, HEY correct that you stupid Tunahead! :D
If you are implementing such a thing, maybe you could get less points for that. As an incentive that the Player at least tries to type in everything correctly. Just a thought :)
It was a joy to play :D
eyy,, if you put it that way, maybe it’s best to leave it as it is then! XD
But honestly, at first, it was intentional for the player to be unable to backspace. I just started thinking the same way you mentioned at the last hour before submission.
Great talk! 😊
Needs checkpoints as I don't want to restart at the beginning. However I found the actual typing to be very fun and just difficult enough to be enjoyable.
Thank you for playing! We'll consider it for the further development!
Very nice game, Iove the smooth spell casting animations. It stated out a little hard, Maybe smooth the difficulty curve a little? the wizard and enemy designs are really pretty :D All in all, very well done game.
Yeah, me and my team noticed it as well! If you found hard enemies at the beginning, it must be the anomalies we set up as the game twists. Sometimes they appear too often—we tried to balance it, but since we started our game on the 4th day of the game jam, we just submitted the game the way it is. 😅
Thank you so much for the feedback! means a lot!
Very nice game. gameplay is addicting, i enjoyed it WAY more than i thought i would lol. i spent a bit too much time trying to get to the end but i cant cuz im bad at the last part lol. i love the art and music too
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Great game and it really pulled me in. It would be fun if it was like and beatsaber type game where the damaging makes beat. Also the music,sfx and artstyle is really great for only a week!
Thank you! I watched your stream when you played it! I'm really glad you enjoyed it!
Great game! I loved the key dynamics, creative!
Thanks a lot! Really glad you loved it! ☺️
I think I am too old to type as fast as needed to save the wizard :) love the retro touch!
This concept of speed typing is really interesting! I really like reflex games like that. Good job!
I'm glad that you liked it! Thanks for playing!
Cool game, I really liked the idea of typing
Thanks for playing!
Good game, i'm suprise that i need to press other key other than W,A,S,D
Thanks for playing! I also tried your game! stressed me the f out (in a good way). really challenging tho!
