this game was a really creative wacky Idea that I loved a lot! it was really interesting how hard it got so fast which I appreciate with endless games in game jams! awesome job! super interesting way of using the theme overall a really good game!

Submitted

Really nice! I thought I was familiar with my keyboard, but I'm not :D

Submitted

Cool idea, and surprisingly addicting :)

Submitted

Awesome game! The art style and music and sound effects all fit together with the theme quite nicely. For an even more punishing challenge, I played the 2 player version alone a la Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons and it was mayhem

Submitted

This is a really nice game with good polish and nice art, the keyboard mechanic makes an otherwise trivial game a fun, challenging experience!

Awesome job!

Submitted

Twister on the keyboard! Simple, but fun.

Well done for participating!

Submitted

Super interesting use of theme. Very hard but fun.  I feel like this would be more fun if I had played two player. It would kind of be like twister. I like the art a lot. Good job.

Submitted

I actually had a ton of fun with this! I love the really interesting keyboard twister that this makes you play. And I think you did a phenomenal job of having restraint when it comes to changing the control scheme, you really give enough time to let the new scheme sink in so you can start to feel semi-comfortable before it changes again. Truly, awesome job!

Submitted

Interesting concept and gameplay! Well done!

Submitted

The premise is fine, especially in a coop, where you have to fight for the whole keyboard. However I believe it would be better if the gameplay was way slower and more puzzl-y/minigame-y rather than arcade, since you're probably able to move after one or two changes, but 3+ is next to impossible ;)

The game is clear to understand, but quite tedious. Music and graphics fit so far. I didn't get very far, but I'm afraid it's easy to get a knot in your fingers.

Submitted

My brain is fried after playing this game! Great concept though and well made!

Submitted

Interesting take on the Roll of the Dice theme!

What I liked?

- The randomized inputs concept was quite interesting and fun

- The art style is really colorful, I like it!

Overall nice job!

Submitted

I really loved gameplay and background particles!

good job!

Submitted

I should admit that the idea is really original! It was easy unless i was forced to press W to move right and H to move up :D that almost broke my brain!

That's a clever game - nice job!

Submitted

Super fun until you break your fingers. The game looks very cute and bubbly but is secretly quite evil! On the one hand i think its quite wacky and charming that you gotta reach over your whole keyboard, on the other hand it’s really hard to keep up. Maybe you could learn to be proficient in it, but I think i would lose the fun before i manage.

It’s awesome to play 2-3 Rounds of it and try to see how far you come, but after that the concept gets a bit stale. But it doesn’t have to be more than that, it’s still a game jam and wacky games are awesome!

Overall, well done!

Submitted

Really fun and interesting concept! The presentation and gameplay were both amazing. Great job!

Submitted

Really great game! The gameplay was fun and you have to use coordination to progress, the visuals were pretty nice, and the little indicator of what key would change before it turns to another one was a nice and useful touch. Well done!

Submitted

It's a very good idea.

I remember a lot of good ideas on the GMTK jam with the "Out of Control" theme, but here the change of control feels really good. Changing one movement button with a demonstration beforehand of what will be replaced is a good approach, reasonably player friendly.

The only time I got lucky was when the W button changed to itself on the move up :D You can also exclude the current assigned one from the set of keys to replace, so it doesn't feel like it's staying the same.

I really like the animations and style. "You can feel like an amoeba in this game". Very cool :D

Submitted

This game is straight fire omg! Visuals are super clear and the timing before each control change feels really good! The game has a really nice pace and learning curve great work!!
