Your game had a really high intensity for a word typing game and it was great! If you had punished typing in the wrong letter and/or made the sfx extra when you did type in the wrong letter it would have been even more intense. There are a lot of routes where this could be taken. Good game!

CyberAttackFun/Mechanics
It's essentially a dungeon crawler mixed with a typing game as you type to fight your way through a spreadsheet. I think this is a very original idea for a game. I liked challenging myself trying to get as many of the words/monsters in a room defeated and see how high I could get my number of characters/health points. It’s simple but addictive.
Theme
This is definitely an interesting interpretation of the theme. A “dungeon” inside of a spreadsheet program. Definitely unique!
Aesthetics
The art style is simple - it resembles a spreadsheet application, but it works for a game like this. I like that how the screen flashes red as if you’re being hit by an actual monster despite being in a typing game
Music/Audio
The music fits well with the frantic nature of the game as you’ll be trying to type as fast as you can.
Overall
I think this is an interesting idea for a game and is an example of the kind of ideas I like to see come from a game jam. The combination of a dungeon crawler and a typing game is definitely unique!
Thanks for submitting!

Egoistic SoulOh wow, that is tough, and even more when I needed to type capital letters or apparently random sequences. The "spreadsheet" was really nicely implemented. Good work!

Dark DimensionI had so much fun. The humor lands very well and animations/sfx makes this very responsive to play. One little feedback would be to skip dialogue after restarting.

Entangled (Demo)A form of typing tutor. I liked it, very innovative and entertaining.
I didn't feel like I was prepared when playing though, I seemed to die quite quickly, but as I can't touch type I couldn't really look to see how quickly I was dying! A step-through tutorial is certainly a nice to have in a game jam, but I'd really like time to stop on the first occurance of an event so I have the time to understand it. Also, occasionally I seemed to start typing too quickly and it didn't register :(
It was fun though. I certainly gave it a few good goes and made progress.
