I love when game jam entries put effort into game feel. Really shows here.
Really original idea ! The game is not easy at all even using only alpha-numeric characters as there is a lot of enemis. That's a great take on the typing game genre and it fully stick to the theme. There is sadly a limitation in term of gameplay, the player can just roll his head on the keyboard and win every round. This could be fixed with malus if the player types a wrong key. Great job ! I thing you got something here !
Enjoyed that! Was building up a massive combo and then I though I saw an a but it was a q ... >:( Sad times! Had a few issues with symbols same as other people but apart from that, was good. I liked the slight lighting effects too, adding a nice bit of visual feedback.
Really fun, and work quite well, could be a full fledged concept with some add !
Great game! Very original. Also served as a harsh reminder that my blind typing skills outside of letters are severely lacking.
Even after making and play testing this game my symbol touch typing is horrendous.
I love the sound design! Overall a great game
Very original ! but I don't see the ONLY ONE in your game :D
Overall Great game !!
Every enemy is only one character long. Typing games usually have words you have to type.
Oh ! Now that you mention it ,it look very obvious .. I feel that I am stupid XD
The game was fun and decently challenging and i really like the visuals and sound design. Great job!
I didn't know I was this bad at typing and I am a programmer... Well done and nice art!
Great visuals, always love typing games. This is top 3 of games I have played so far! Made it to the symbols wave feeling like a pro... then got smacked down like a chump. Great entry, bookmarking for later!
I really liked it. So far my favourite game. The sound of the ships exploding is kinda satisfying lol
Not gonna lie, I probably spend more time on making the game look and feel really nice than on the actual gameplay part. Glad you enjoyed the game!
So great, I love keyboard/typing games! I had some trouble with the game not recognizing some of the symbols (I'm on a macbook with an apple wireless keyboard), but other than that the game played great, and the difficulty ramp was nice and satisfying. great job!
Thanks for playing! When I initially came up with the concept I was hesitant to include symbols due to keyboards being different but I felt the game was too easy without them. Seems like they're causing a variety of issues though, especially in the web version. Glad you still like the game despite the bugs!
I just love playing this game! Simple and well executed idea. With a little bit more of juice it would be perfect. If you decide to keep working on it though, be really careful with the symbols, there are so many different keyboards between qwerty/azerty and windows/mac. I lost because I got a symbol I have absolutely no idea how to type on mine.
Thanks for playing! The symbols were definitely not considerate for different keyboard layouts (not to mention some of them straight up don't work in the web version). I felt the game was too easy without them though. Maybe I should've only used ! to ). Glad you enjoyed playing my game though!
Amazing atmosphere, love the lighting and sound. You could create more levels and its a great way to learn to type!
Thanks for playing! At this point I might just build a normal word-typing game off this game.
I really enjoy the atmosphere of your game. The lighting, music, and sound effects all blend together into a nicely polished experience. I also really enjoyed the difficulty when the symbols appeared.
A long time ago I played a very similar game in my PALM PILOT to learn how to write in it. This game has the same design and this is not a bad idea. I think you need only work in HOW letter appears. Too many things to see, you cannot concentrate to write. Good game.
Thanks for playing! Do you think the letters would be more legible if I put a black border around them? I think visibility is only especially bad when letters start stacking on top of enemies.
I think its ok the border, but "my problem is more with speed, quantity and velocity than a "design problem". :D
THIS IS SO COOOOL!
The music and sound design is really good!
I think you created an interesting idea with the theme and it generally plays really well (other than some bugs with symbols) . However, this concept takes away much of the challenge of typing games and you didn't fully explore how to create an interesting difficulty curve using just single characters.
With that said, it was fun to play and I enjoyed the chill atmosphere.
Thanks for the feedback! I tried really hard to make the game look and feel good. I probably spent more time on polish than the actual gameplay to be honest. As for the difficulty curve I personally had a lot of trouble touch typing symbols so I felt it started getting difficult enough when symbols started spawning. On the subject of symbols, I've been getting some reports of symbols not working. Did you play the browser version or executable? I didn't have much time to test the browser version before deploying and I also think the issues might've arisen from the web version.
Yes, I've only tried the web version.
Yeah after a bunch more people playing it it seems the web version doesn't read symbols correctly and the symbols that don't work vary between machines. After the jam voting ends I'll probably remove the web version altogether.
The music and sound design is really good!

Wow! Awesome!
