this game is hilarious.
my one complaint is that there's an audio spike when the song for the final battle loops...but maybe it's part of the Atmosphere...
best wishes to poor thomas
I was going to ask our audio guy to fix that but we didn't really have time. Let's pretend it is part of the atmosphere.

Nice little game I dig it but the long patterns get some time hard to figure out how many ones are in them
So sick! In addition to nice graphics and one jam of a song, you also made a super fun game! There's really not much for me to criticize here, it was that good. That being said, having to repeatedly type in those super long patterns over and over did start to get a little slow, maybe throw in some more of the smaller enemies with new patterns later on to change things up? Aside from that though, very nicely done. Bravo!

1111 11!
I never knew I wanted such a relaxing, peaceful typing game like this to improve my skills on.
11111 !! 11111 !! 11111 !! !!!!! 11111 !1!1!1!1 !!! 111
Thank you for playing my game on twitch. I was so close to getting a perfect score lol.
I can't complain though live feedback is so awesome. Go follow him at https://www.twitch.tv/jvthewanderer

Really good job. I'm much better at typing now and I have Chelonaphobia. Thank you.
Original take on the theme! :D
this game completely and totally wins the jam, hands down
Thank you, but I think MarkMarkMark is the clear winner.
this is amazing

Haha. I thought this was going to be easy, and it was, until the big 111111111111111111111 ship came and I couldn't count how many ones there were :D Good job it was only one!
11 1 111! 111 11 1 !11 11. 111 11 !!!1.
And I meant all of that! It's hilarious and detailed and 1derful.
The best part was the music. I hope you were the person adding in the "one"'s
Its kinda fun and you could say it follows the theme but it literally has one. As in the "only one" (as a limit not a number) concept is not actually part of the core game. What I mean is that it could very well have been any other key on the keyboard that you would have to press for this game. As I said this game is fun but does it fit with the theme, not really. Just having the actual number key one being pressed adds nothing to the game because any other key could be used. The idea you can't really say is original as well because it's like typer shark but only typing 1. The dialogue from Thomas is funny but just that isn't what makes a proper game.
Can't say I agree with you, the fact that only one key is used to type the words fits the theme pretty aptly. Even if that key didn't happen to be the '1' key, the core gameplay would still consist of a typing game utilizing only one character.
It was originally going to be a type f to pay respects game. But then I asked about it on the gmtk discord and Lethandralis said I should do the number 1. I realized that was a better gag and switched to 1.
*Replying to shiga
Yeah but even then the game mechanic created from only pressing a singular button doesn't make it a better game but stops it from being more complex. But yes I guess it does fit with the theme in that aspect but if making a game fit with the theme, limits it from having more depth then it would be better without the theme. But then again if you were to be pressing other keys then one then it would be like typer shark making it not original.
I see what you mean, but making a game less complex doesn't always make it worse. In this case, limiting the game to only one key requires players to quickly enter a certain number of key presses rather than recognize words, which results in gameplay that is actually pretty distinct from the typing games this is based on.
Yeah I agree complex isn't always best. and in this case I did before say it was kinda fun. But I can't see this going to the point where you could be playing this on lets say a mobile device. What Im thinking is that the game because you can only tap and count then repeat for each enemy it won't be a game that keeps its players. Take for example magic touch wizard for hire, its a game like this but instead of tapping the same key. you draw out shapes corresponding with the enemies. Its not really complex but it is more complex than this. By adding the variations it makes the game more enjoyable to play over longer periods. The added depth adds to the game having more almost "surprises". What im getting at is yes it is fun but in a realistic point of view as in if it were to be a full fledged game it wouldn't last because players will get bored of it due to it being too simple. I know this is a game jam but at least in my opinion the games from a game jam should have elements of being able to be a full fledged game. and again not that its bad but I think it just isn't there yet.
This was an absolute delight to play. :) Thank you for blessing my life. I hope Thomas's glitch stops bothering him soon.
Thank you. I will pass along your message to Thomas. He seems to be in 1 of his moods.
Bumpy bumps
Very I funny game. Interesting take on the theme, lol. I can now say I am a master of touch typing 1. Good job!
Thanks, glad you liked it.
11 11 1111 11 111111 111. 11111 1111!
1111 11!
Cool idea.
Even when it's so simple it's fun and difficult, good job :)
Thank you. I added a bunch of content since you played it.
