How does your game fit the theme?
Normally you would move character directly by using WASD or similar controls. In this game you play as a remote operator that will help an astronaut to get through the alien maze. Type commands and see how astronaut performs them, if success then eventually you'll get to the end of the level, otherwise you'll join floating asteroids nearby.

I can't seem to spell jump lol nice and unique idea!

Liked the idea very much! Though maybe it would've been better to not show beforehand what needs to be typed, but simply show the input. Regardless, I liked it :)

Maybe I didnt understand what to do but I couldnt figure out how to move past the first turn even when I typed out the word. anyways, I think I would love this game if it worked for me.

I'm sorry to hear that typing words didn't work for you.

I'll try to explain a mechanic from a technical perspective, maybe that'd help:

When player spawns, you receive a word you need to type, letter by letter, without any mistyping (cause otherwise it will be counted as a mistake/error and you will be penalized) AND you should do that before the end of a current floating block you running on, cause otherwise player will fall off the floating block as well.

Once you collect 2 penalties for mistyping, player will fall off into the space.

In case if you have typed current word correctly, you then will be transited into another white floating block with a rotation (LEFT/RIGHT) or jumping over (JUMP).

Hope that helps, otherwise please let me know!

Have fun!
