I liked it! Have you thought about implementing a timer or something similar?

Developer

There technically is a timer implemented, but it runs in there background to calculate the WPM. I could probably make it visible! Thanks for playing!

Submitted(+1)

An interesting new experience.  I would have loooooovvvved to have some background noise of a restaurant in it.  I think that would help sell the overall idea.  But it's a pretty good implementation you've got.  Good job.

Developer

I would of loved to get sound in too but alas... time constraints, but if I continue work on this that's the first thing on the docket for sure! Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for playing!

I realy enjoyed the game. I especially enjoyed the little details like the text you're typing or the stuttering when you fail to much. overall very great game

I was terrible at this. But still really nice game. I enjoyed playing it. 

Developer

Hopefully this helps you practice! Thanks for playing!

Such a fun idea! I am just terrible at typing games, I have no idea why. I kept making the date mad... Oh well! I loved the pixel art and the 3d background.  All in all, great job!

Developer

Typing games are tough, especially when you've got butterfingers like me... I appreciate you playing, glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted(+1)

A really cool take on the theme! I really like that you turned the theme into a dating game and I really like the typing game aspect of it. The gameplay is very fun and the graphics are cute! Good job!

Developer

I always try to get to an idea that isn't obvious at first so glad you liked the interpretation. Thanks for playing I appreciate it!

Submitted(+1)

at first i was confused on why every word i type was just wrong but after i read comments below i realized the uppercase was matter in this game. i like the details when you fail so much the word you have to type start stuttering just like myself on date. 10/10 hit close to home

Developer

It's all too real isn't it... Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for playing!

Another banger by the legend himself, I loved the art style and the overall feel of the game!

Developer

Well if it isn't the legendary Mike Murphy! Thanks for playing my man

I love this game! Really funny lines, the artwork is great and it fits the theme nicely. 

My favourite part is when you are typing fast, make a mistake and fail two or three in a row. It makes you as nervous as the main character!

Developer

That was intentionally so I am glad you like that feel! After reading some of the other comments I feel like maybe I should revisit how fast the next line comes up maybe there's a balance there. Thanks for playing!

And if there were sounds of typing or "talking" - that added a really nice final touch:)

Developer(+1)

I know I wanted that so bad but wasn't proud of the audio I made towards the end. It was too rushed to put in but would be the next thing if I had one more day! Thanks for playing

Submitted(+1)

Nice art, interesting idea and pretty fun to play:D Specially i like the "What do u mean u don't know what a game jam is?!" sentense:3

Developer(+1)

I started to write some meta type sentences towards the end. There's a Brackeys reference here and there too. Thanks for playing!

Art is really beautiful! Really makes you feel like you're playing Typing of the Dead

Developer(+1)

Typing of the Dead was the main inspiration so I'm glad you make that comparison! Thanks for playing!

Really fun game. My one complaint is, when speaking (in real life) there's no need to worry about capitalization, spaces or punctuation - so while the game is more challenging having to worry about those factors, it creates a dissonance between the gameplay and narrative of the game. That being said it was still an interesting interpretation of the theme and great concept, good work!

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! I added those details in the sentences intentionally since I felt like the type wizzes of the world would have breezed through this game too easily. That being said, I did go back and forth on whether conjunctions were fair or commas stuff like that, so maybe that could be reworked with more play testing, Thanks for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed it overall!

Great art, I love all the different models you created. And you must have written soooo many lines, it was hilarious to read them all. The gameplay was fun, the extra letters were a clever way to make it tough. I wish there were a little more time after making a mistake to avoid angering her so much.

I want to go to Frrrraannnnnce.

Developer

So glad you liked the writing! Most of the sentences were generated with some being handwritten by me, however I picked and choose from those generated list and then modified the sentences to make them fit better. This saved a ton on time and made some really funny lines, including but not exclusive to "I want to go to France". Your comment made me laugh, thanks for playing!

I like how you interpreted the theme as compassion rather than horror. Do you mind rating my game when you get the chance?

Developer

First thing I wrote down was I did not want to do a horror game since I figured a ton of people would be taking that approach. When approaching jams I usually never go with my first inclination or idea since it's usually the last idea that is wild and out there! But all in all it's a jam so no shade to anyone who took that approach as long as you made something you're a winner! I'll be sure to check out your game, thanks for playing!

Really fun and unique!

I thought myself as a decent writer.

This game made me consider otherwise. 10/10!

Developer

You can thank good ol generated sentences for that (with some slight tweaking here and there of course)! I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks for playing! 

Submitted(+1)

Did this game make me feel as nervous as when talking to someone?

uhh somehow yes??

I love how if you make mistakes, it gets harder to speak (type), that's really clever.

Developer(+1)

Hopefully this helps you get over those fears! Glad you enjoyed the mechanic, thanks for playing!
