Really cool concept, I it's something I never seen before. I could not get past the first combat though... I tried typing the cell contet but could not fill the cell on time, I was experiencing delays between keystrokes and the game was not registering every input.

Submitted

This is a really fun game! This challenges my typing speed and my carpal tunnel issue

Submitted

This was amazing. A little bit difficult to start out at first, but this is way more fun than I would have expected when I clicked into the game. 


Excellent use of enemy generation, great concept, fun, and funny. Really well done!

Submitted

I really loved it, i didnt expect that when i read the name. Really creative and fun. you hit the theme in a really smart way and made a game with out need of special asset really greate!

Submitted

Really fun game

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!

I gotta say, I hooked to this typing game. Good concept!

Submitted

a very cool typing game. very fun to play.

a very cool typing game.

Good humour fun gameplay. Ive never missed the ability to press tab more in my life haha.

Thanks for commenting. I'll add tab to move right and enter to move down after the jam ends.

Submitted

haha I was joking but I do think it would make a nice QoL improvement. 

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback. I added Excel-like keybinds to make movement easier ;)

Submitted

Great concept, enjoyed the humour as well.  Bloody Gunnar G.

Felt like a tiny delay between moving and it accepting the character inputs, could be my chiclets, overall I enjoyed it.  Nice work!

Submitted

Very cool concept!  Don't like having to navigate with the arrows, but it was pretty fun! 

Developer

Thanks for the comment, a lot of people suggested this so I added (shift+)tab/enter for moving around.

Fun and interesting game idea! I just think that it would feel better if you are able to type as soon as you press the arrow-key to change the field you're in and not only when the switch "animation" is done, as I sometimes thought I was done when the game didn't even recognize the first letter

Submitted

Very fun game with a unique idea. I just wish it was lighter on my computer.

Submitted

Very unique and interesting game.  Easy to understand, funny references. Overall greatly enjoyed

Fun/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!

Very unique concept. Was really fun to play!

Submitted

unique concept of the game and simple game, pretty fun to play. Using spreadsheet was a cool idea for game! nice job!

Submitted

Oh 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!

Developer

The random sequences are leetspeak FYI. They were there for a challenge but a lot of people understandably found them hard to type. When I update this after the rating period ends I'll let the player select difficulty and move this feature to hard mode.
