  • The name made me think it was a very different type of game, and I was a bit confused at first. It's a cool idea, but quite hard for slow people like me xd.
  • Gameplay is solid! I like the concept of this game a lot, seems like a really fun game you could boot up and just mess around in. Can safely say, I myself am not good at this game. Guess my hand eye coordination isn't good enough atm (I only could make it to Level 3). For those looking for a challenge, this game will definitely give it to ya. Was fun when I could successfully divide the viruses. Also, the option to reduce the Virus speed is nice. If i messed around wit that more I might've done better...its just dope that you have accessibility options like that. Presentation is also pretty solid. Its almost like an atari game with how simple and charming it all it. The music was repetitive, but that also helps in it feeling primitive like those older games imo. As far as things I didn't enjoy as much, moving around felt a bit clunky. Obviously the challenge is getting everything to work out and divide the virus, but perhaps it was a bit too clunky? I can think of a couple ideas around this: Maybe, only the button you press will change? Think that would lead to more strategy when it comes to thinking about your next move. Every time I moved up, I already had the previous button in mind when wanting to move left or right. I think that would make it feel a bit nicer, while also rewarding players for remembering their options even if it was for only one turn! Still would require you to act quickly, and would definitely take more coding time. What you have currently works well and is still p fun to play, even if I am bad at it lol. Nice work

The game was very fun but I was so bad at it 🤣.  I can see myself playing alot just to get better at it.

FYI, if you keep tapping the up arrow you can skip levels.

Glad you had fun :) I quickly felt myself improving while playtesting. Keep up the practice, and you will be a pro!
The arrow-tapping is on purpose. It's explained in the tips/tricks part of the game description.

Either I am very bad or this is very hard (probably more the first one), but I couldnt pass the second level lmao. Interesting game overall

I like this game. Specially because I'm a typing master champion back in college. It's simple and fun, it racks up your nerves when dividing large areas. Cool

OH this is very creative I think. 

It gets pretty difficult when you get more viruses to fence up. And you gotta be really quick to react with the keys input sometimes. But that's not a bad thing.

Wow, I am a bad typist, I just discovered.   Sometimes I did get a wall, but it was not satisfied, I am unsure what I am doing wrong then. Overall, fun to play.

i'm terrible at this, the possibility range is very broad, but it certainly is a great game for practicing typing. im also a teacher, what was the student feedback? i'd love to know more :)

great job!

You caught me! I made this game so my students have a little fun/different way to practise typing, without having to look at the keyboard.
