You play as the NPC in a MMORPG. The twist is, you are doing everything what's expected of NPC manually! Ooooh what joy!

It was : amazing, congrats to the team I can't believe how cool it is !
I don't know how to play this game, but the love and art is really cool!
cool concept and very cool art! humor was also really nice haha. although i think the font really hurts the gameplay on this one as it is very hard to read imo, especially since i didn't know its case sensitive up until like 5 minutes into the game. also having to scroll up and down to see all the action options was a bit of a weird design choice, feels a little clunky
VIBE CHECK IS PASSED. While the concept might be not something groundbreaking, the execution is solid and artstyle is amazing! I wished I wasn't so busy with trying to typing commands last second so I could look at the art more thoroughly. But I have small issue with text readability (maybe not the best pixel font imo) and it was a bit frustrating to learn a bunch of new commands when level difficulty was increased and timer kept ticking.
Overall love it a lot.
Thank you for sharing the feedback! I agree, some letters from the font could have been better... but I'm glad you liked it!
Apart from the font, it's a really cool game!
Visually, (almost) nothing to say: the sprites look good, the interface is well done, and the stats are clear. Only downside: the font is very difficult to read. I don't know if it is intended to ramp up the difficulty, but I'm not a fan if that's the case.
Gameplay-wise, I first though that it would become pretty boring once you knew what command to type in: look at the player, type some commands, next... Yeah no wonder playing an NPC isn't a great game idea since it become repetitive really fa-oh the commands have changed and are now much more difficult well. That got me!
One way to make it fit into the game would have been to pass it as an update: a pop-up stating that since more player were joining, more precise actions were required, with a list of all functions changes. That way, you don't lose time searching for what is different when you already have a very limited timer.
The music fits a game hub very well!
Great job! =D
Thank you for such an in-depth feedback! We definitely could have made an "update changes" screen, wish I had a couple more hours haha. Still, thank you for kind words 🙏
the geame looks (and plays) great.
the only downside is the font
The presentation is excellent. The font would not be so bad if the game didn't require you to enter names with capital letters or names that are very specific (words that are out of the ordinary + stylized font doesn't seem like a good combo). Overall, very cool.
It looks amazing. And while the gameplay is a basic papers please but as speedtyping, it works really well and with proper text controls you can get quite the speed in. I've gotta guess that the font was chosen deliberately to make it harder to read, otherwise i'd ask for something easier.
My only complaint is that the game changes the commands on the fly and you need to spend precious time checking what changed and applying those changes. Don't know if that is intended, but it felt unfair to me, so maybe pausing the game when a new set of instructions arrives would be a nice little QOL change.
This Looks Amazing!
Cool presentation and idea! i like dialogues with hero and type mechanic
This was crazy fun to work on!! This project has been my first time ever tinkering with game programming, and it has been a very informative and positive experience overall. Huge kudos to ttphb, Spiraleye and vemigvan for putting so much effort into this beauty!
Love this! The presentation is super polished and stylistic, an excellent typing game that is on theme, great work!
Beautiful game indeed.
took me a few tries to get the syntax right because of the font, but once I got it I was schmoovin.
This game is fun! Only complaint is how many clients I had trouble reading their name. I swear it's impossible to tell N's and M's apart. I love the idea of a typing game like this, though. I'll definitely come back to it :]
I really loved all the quirky characters, and definitely feel better at typing after playing that. :)
Love the aesthetic and the character design. Text was difficult to read, so I wasn't able to execute commands. Overall well done and very creative!!
Reminded me of Papers Please (big compliment). Found the font quite hard to read though. Loved the art and general vibe :)
Thank you everyone for playing! If you're having trouble with the balance of the game, please feel free to switch to a lesser WPM. I can't recommend it as I love hard games and a feeling that completing a task on the last second gives, but, ultimately, this is not a competition. Apart from the completion number at the end screen lol.
This is my first 48 hours game jam and a second jam overall so all comments are appreciated. Hope you have lots of fun playing our stuff! ~
A fun game, but on a higher difficulty the game is pretty hard
Thank you! Say hi to Lenat!
Cool game! Though, when I switched to difficulty 2, I had no time to read the new rules. The game itself is pretty hard too.
