I'm with Kingjaw on changing your choices for the commands. Top was easy, but middle and bottom, just "mid" and "bot" then they're all three characters. I like that shoot is longer because there should be a little more anticipation and work for the attack.

Locking the story behind the scoring system was a great way to make it work really well with the gameplay. I know this isn't part of rating, but I love the attention and care you put into your thumbnail!

I wish I didn't have to select the text box at the start to begin typing, or you should have given more of a buffer before the enemies starting coming at me. I would also suggest an enemy type that you can't shoot so it forces the player to move.

I couldn't move up. Or more accurately, I could move up but then I was stuck:

"top" wouldn't clear out of my text box like shoot did, so then I was stuck up top.

Overall, this was a really fun entry and solid submission. Thanks for sharing it.

The story slowly unlocking as your score increases is a really cool mechanic, I really like a lot of the mechanics of this game. But I feel like using the textbox is a bit unnatural, as you have to keep switching between mouse and keyboard. I think this game would have definitely benefited from somewhat of a custom text system, and possibly shortening down the phrases, for example shoot could just be "sht," bottom could be "bot," middle could be "mid," etc. But overall a pretty unique concept for a game that I think could definitely be expanded on.

That was fun! I like the story being revealed by your score. It gives an incentive to keep playing until you unlock it.

I did notice in your game description under controls it says "Middle = 'middle' or 'Bottom'".

hey your game was very very easy, i just typed SHOO and wait for an enemy and type T also your retry button doesn't work. don't worry my game is also super duper easy, technically you could do the same thing, stand on one place and shoot lol, otherwise interesting idea

I think it is a cool idea to control a ship using text! It feels like I am sitting at a terminal and working as an operator controlling the ship remotely. I also really like that you only reveal what the ship is actually being used for after you've destroyed more and more with it (it reminds me of the book Ender's Game)   :)

Love the name of your game and the idea of typing to fight is great. I did come across a problem with starting again on the menu screen and I think it would be better if the enter command button didn't need to be clicked on at the start. I also found that I didn't have any incentive to move the typefighter, I'm guessing you ran out of time and were planning to add some undestroyable asteroids? Tying up the story to your high score is a pretty neat idea, really liked that and see a lot of potential once a few things are sorted out

Interesting concept, but tbh I feelt like the best strategy for me was just to stay in the middle and type shoo, then just press t when the next enemy spawns, so it got kinda boring to play.
