How does your game fit the theme?
I aimed to create a game with controls so direct that the player would be flailing their arms around as they played. The point which falls "Out of Control" is the player themselves.

Really fun game!
Button mashing galore! Pretty fun game, great job!
Cool concept - my fingers needed a workout! That "virus" reminded of the character from a 80's video game... can't exactly remember its name: it's about a "plant" that jumps onto stacks of boxes.
Haha, qbert!
Yes, exactly!!
Finally a game where button mashing really is the dominant strategy! All kidding aside, awesome job on this. It's a nice simple game loop and I had fun playing it. My only feedback would be; maybe let me hit the spies even more when they are coming in / leaving and they already move over a specific key, so I can get them early/after.
Awesome job though!!
You owe me a keyboard.
(That was a lot of fun, though)
It's an interesting idea! The gameplay itself was a neat idea, and while I couldn't bring myself to start smashing and rolling my hands around I can definitely see the appeal! The theme seemed kind of insistent, and I couldn't quite see the connection to the gameplay, like how this is earning money and why you want to take medicine and do therapy, but overall I would say that doesn't make it less enjoyable, just has a minor confusion that can be ignored.
Neat idea, super quick to pick up and fun. At first I tried to keep my hands in typing position but it's way better to smash around.
Fun little bit of chaos! I can tell that the game was intended to be played with button mashing haha. Would've loved to see a bit more variety in maybe items or enemies that shook up the pure button mashing base gameplay in this game. Would've added a lot of more fun!
Very fun to play, at some point I just resorted to smashing the keyboard though
Alot of fun, the temptation to mash the keyboard is overwhelming haha! Neat take on the them too. Great job!
Quite challenging at times! I know I shouldn't but I kept smashing my keyboard! lol
Creative! I liked the health and medicine mechanic. Does health decrease always at some rate or when you miss keys?
Nice entry.
It was fun dancing around my keyboard!! this was a cool idea.You should keep working on it! Congrats on successfully submitting a game to the jam and I hope you learned a lot of new things. Please check out my game when you have time :D
Thanks for commenting on my game!
I like this game because of the interesting SE and character movement.
The play video has been uploaded.
Please feel free to play it in Japanese.
That was really fun. The mechanic really suited the theme. I wish there was abit more visual feedback when you hit an enemy. I didn't know if I'd hit them until they floated away. Good job overall!
This game was longer than I expected! The keyboard mashing gameplay seemed very unique to me, and I'm afraid that I might've broke something while playing it. I did find the difficulty slope a little too difficult for my keyboard-wary fingers, but I still really enjoyed the story elements and fitting aesthetics.
that was fun. can add more viarity with diff enemys, that take diff hits.

I ended up pressing all the keys on my keyboard and accidentally opened a new tab. 5/5
This is a really charming game. Found the premise very amusing and fun to just mash my keys! The music was a little harsh on my ears, but that is my only complaint.
Overall, a really enjoyable game.
