A fun little timewaster! I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I thoroughly enjoyed your comment!

I love the way that the music cuts out when you stop. Reminds me of loony tunes when characters begin to sing but get interrupted. This is by far the funniest game I've played from the jam.

Developer

Thank you! The music choice was my girlfriend’s idea, so she deserves some of the credit ;)

This is a really silly little game. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Nice work!

Developer(+1)

Glad it’s silliness-sufficient!

Haha of course! We'd love your feedback on our game as well, if you haven't done so already. SpaceBus

The game is super fun, i like the concept, it reminds me a little bit of one of my games (so extra points for that).

What I would suggest is:

  • Remove the typos counter, ot at leas hide it until the end: with the counter on, you can just type the same 2 letters, while watching the counter, and when you see pop it up, you press "Backspace" until it returns to 0
  • Don't just remove the music when you aren't typing, just lover to 10% or something (Altough, gotta admit, the audio is cool)
  • Add some feedback for when the time runs out and add the ability to the player to play again
  • Add some story and/or lore INTO the game. How would I have known that I was an orch if I hadn't read the description??
  • If you hold the same key, you'd expect to see the same character.... Well, realistically speaking you can't really hold a key in a old typewriter (You whould end up writing ony one inky character if you do so), but ogres don't exist too, so...

And, well, then there's that:

Developer

Very thorough review! Thanks for all the notes! I'll add them to my notes for future improvement! Thank you so much!!!

I made a joke about being sponsored by keyboard manufacturers in another comment, so I'm not gonna repeat it.

The game is really hard for me because it takes some time for me to react to appearing typos, and the timer seems to be pretty tight (btw, I corrected all the typos :D). Although, I liked how it discouraged repeatedly pressing one key by making a ton of typos, that's definitely what was needed to force players into pressing different keys, nice touch. Also, I wish there was some kind of game-over screen instead of just hanging.

There's not much to say about graphics other than it's simple and does not distract you.

To sum it up, you did a good job on this one!

Developer

Thanks, RedTeaPot! Yup, the graphics could definitely be worked on. Doesn’t have a lot of personality. I think I’ll patch in a better “game over” screen when the rating period is over. Glad you liked it!

Oh, I meant that the graphics is pretty nice. The text I typed did get past the sheets at times but this is the only issue I've noticed with it.
