Pretty nice game. Using the keyboard as the level has been explored that much. Though, I did make a tower defence game around the concept last year. My main points of critique are the none skippable score screen, and the wall of text instructions.

Great job with this! Really loved the art and animations and effects overall, they were super cool. The music was paired really well even though you didnt make it yourself. The gameplay was really interesting, typing all characters on your keyboard to play through the game. I wish there was a greater incentive to kill enemies aside from just score. It felt easiest just to make a beeline for the CTRL key. Maybe needing to find keys to unlock the way first or have to destroy a certain number of enemies before you could leave. Health also always felt not that important since you got it all back for the next level. Also the score tallying up and down took a really long time, so a way to skip would be nice. But Im just nit-picking, this was really great and I was very impressed! Awesome job!

Desert DriftI love the art style and animations. The player feedback when moving is great! The animation on the keyboard after you finish a level is really nice as well. Good work!

Ignite BikeHey friends! I played through your game and tried to give helpful feedback. The vod is here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/679993926
(The music balance is bad at the start but it's resolved partway through)
One thing I didn't think to say is that also I think the aesthetic and mechanics do match the theming very well, which leads to it feeling like a cohesive experience. Good job!

The Inner Workings of TetrisReally like the presentation of this game, pretty original concept and solid execution, had a good bit of fun playing through it!

OBOH (48hr Game Jam Edition)Everything about this game is solid, the concept and its implementation were super original and fun. Some elements like the things that popped up on the keys were confusing and having death reset the whole game was a bit frustrating. The art, sound, and gameplay were all super coherent, good job!

Root Beer RouletteThis was a really pretty game, I loved the ending rainbow animation on the keyboard. This was a unique way of controlling character movement and I enjoyed playing it. The game was very polished and there weren't any bugs that I could find in it. It played really well, good job!

Weather StoryFun and nicely presented, though I died once because I have a different keyboard layout.

Cat'le Herdin'The idea is cool, and presentation is great. I loved the song! Although it seemed to have many mechanics, they didn't seem flashed out to me, I just kept racing to the CTRL key, and key mashing any enemies I found. Other problem I had, was that sometimes the point counting tooke too long, so I trid to finish each level with a smaller score? haha
Overall, super fun and cool project, well done!
