Great concept. Wish i could see my health tho

Developer

The "characters" indicator on the bottom right is your health. The game is a bit unclear about that though so I'll make it more explicit.

I am a slow typer so it was a rough ride for me, but I did enjoy my time playing. It felt nice and smooth and wasn't too difficult to figure out what was going on. I had a good time.

Really fun game!! I love the attention to detail with the motion blur and the animations for the insertion line... Sadly I died at the "something something, Son of Gunna" phrase. It would be nice if there is realistic typing and excel sound effect. Overall, cool game. Super unique and original!! I think it'll be cool to be made into multiplayer for people to compete in the future.

pretty good concept, it's pretty frantic.  Since it's a spreadsheet game, I kept trying to use tab and alt-tab to go to the next and previous columns, maybe you should consider allowing those keys as controls for us Excel people. Other than that, a volume control for the music might be nice. Overall great game though

Submitted

Great game! Not only is it fun but it helps me get better at faster typing too!

Submitted

This concept is genius :O It's so simple but so fun.

Submitted

I really enjoyed playing that for a typing game!  My only wish was that I could move around somehow without having to use the arrow keys and mess up my wpm!! XD

Hi, I've now added (shift+)tab/enter for moving. The jam version is still available for download.

Submitted

Great concept, good execution. Stands out from the crowd for sure. I wish I could move around the sheet with something other than the arrow keys so I don't have to move my hands from the home row too much. Typing too fast also feels like it doesn't register sometimes. But those are small critiques for a game made for a jam, well done!

Submitted

Great idea for a game. You could really expand on this it has great potential. Add healables and more levels and this could turn into a full game. Keep it up!

Submitted

Cool idea. I'm actually not a fan of such games, because I'm really bad at accurate typing under time pressure xD I love the music, that pushes me to keep trying. A nice game, good work. I had fun with it:)

Submitted

This is something else for sure, reminds me a lot of games like Typing of the Dead.
I kept dying to Gunnar Gunnarsssonsoonsnoon and the unprnouncable dude which makes a lot of sense.

There were a couple of instances where I would have sworn that I typed correctly but a keypress was not recognized. Not certain if that's on my end or something in the game.

Either way, I had a blast with this and will hope to never encounter a Gunnar again!, Great job !

Submitted

Personally, this is my favorite game of all the ones I've played so far. It is very very fun and addicting. I got up to sheet twelve when some BOB, THE SCREAMER took me out. Very very fun.

Submitted

I can't stop playing this game. Please make it into a full game 

Developer

I've made the controls more responsive and added (shift+)tab/enter for moving. You can still download the jam version if you want.

Submitted

this kept me playing a lot longer than i first expected. it was really a lot of fun. Greatjob!

Submitted

Surprisingly a lot of fun! I really like your idea and I would be happy if you could expand on it in the future!

Submitted

You criminal. How dare you make me Type Gunnar, Gunnarssonnsson something or other!

Submitted

This is brilliant - love the idea and it's a super fun game. Good job on the submission! 😎

Submitted

Wow, this was more engaging than I expected. The music is effective at making it all feel very exciting, and something about how far zoomed in you are on the grid as you type makes it feel tense. I bet you could zoom in slowly while typing and ramp up the tension even more, haha.

Great work!

Submitted

This idea and its implementation are amazing. Keep it up!

Submitted

Excellent game, loved it!

Submitted

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.
