Great graphics and sound, also very punishing.
I love the art but actually i did not understand what to do
Love the concept but would like a more legible font as it was taking me too long to work out the letters
Cool idea!
fun idea, and tough! it might be nice to be able to see what swapped keys were originally, so you don't have to rely on knowing the exact keyboard layout :)
I really like the idea. Personally, I too would have preferred a more legible font. Very nice game! This must be what learning a new layout would feel like!
really interesting idea unfortunally i find the font hard to read making it hard to determine what keys got switched. and it does not really work for non english keyboards, (but that’s something you could worry during that 48 hours)
What an interesting take on the jam's theme! Really liked the idea of the keys swapping, makes for a nice time-pressure game. Great work!
It is a very entertaining game but I got stuck on "how game designers solved these 11 problems" because "1" wasn't working (by the way I love how you use titles of GMTK videos)
Loved the idea! I'm a pretty poor typist already, so the swapping keys made it that much harder. Super fun challenge. My only issue would be that the font is a bit hard to read, but otherwise this was a nice little experience! Thumbs up!
Sometimes the font was hard to read on top of my brain trying to unlearn years of muscle memory
We had very similar ideas! Massive fan of the premise, obviously, though I agree it can be a little hard to read at times. Way to go!
Very clever, completely breaks my brain
Fun game, but doesn't really have much to do with the theme. Nice visuals though.
I like the little button that takes you directly to twitte
The concept is great, but the font used is quite confusing to read fast.
I definitely had a hard time playing but only because I'm bad at typing LMAO!! The look of your game is really fun! I like the arrow font, it fits well with the theme :) One thing I would point out is that the game is a little cut off on the left? I can't completely read the letters on that side but everything else works great!
This game gave me a great chuckle. Initially, I had read the concept and thought it was going to be frustrating and difficult but it's crazy how quickly your muscle memory kicks and you're able to type regularly without even looking at the diagram remembering that a key is no longer in the position you were about to press. The balance of the health is done really well and you were right to lean on generous side as you did to allow the amount of mistakes that accrue. Great entry and with a bit of polish I would happily revisit this one.
This is so cool! The font is a bit hard to read, and the maybe the swapping could have been clearer, but this is the best game I reviewed by far yet.
Great how you used the youtube video titles
