I make this game to join steam typing fest. I know that there are not many games in that genre (since there are no big audience), so I thought it would be a good idea to make one and join the festival and gain some wishlist and visibility. But the results for the typing fest didnt match with my expectations. It makes me feel bad and I just coulndt make any progress for a little time about finishing the game. So having some good feedback makes me feel good. I will finish it very soon actually. The game is almost done. I just need to make more levels and test out some new upgrades.

I don't think I'll be able to generate much revenue from this project, so my priority is completing it quickly. I also think the leaderboard will be the main competitive element of the game, so I'm envisioning the system as a single progression with endless levels. For that reason, I'm not really keen on adding meta progression right now, but if I get more feedback on it I'd of course consider adding it.

Now I'd like to respond to your feedback points:

I think the game starts out quite difficult (someone else also mentioned they struggled), so I might lower the difficulty of the first few levels.

The info about enemies is actually shown before the level where that enemy type first appears, and pressing any key dismisses it and the game continues immediately, maybe I can make that clearer, or I could make it so only pressing Space skips it.

I'm generally happy with the visual theme, though I can't say it turned out exactly how I wanted. To prevent enemy names from getting mixed up, I used variables like speed and three separate paths, but if that issue keeps being annoyingly persistent I can build a more detailed system.

If I add difficulty scaling, the leaderboard system could become less useful, so I'm not really keen on that. Instead, there could be a level system that starts easier and gradually gets harder.

As I mentioned above, I'm not interested in meta progression (for now).

New enemy types, attack types, and different abilities will be available in the full release. Also There are some improvements I think will be really fun.

Thanks again for the detailed feedback. You can find the latest version of the game on Steam. The web version was giving errors when I updated it due to a problem I couldn't fully figure out, so the Steam version will always be the most up to date.

Thank you so much for your detailed feedback, it really means a lot to me.

I understand that constantly typing "attack" can be tiring, but as you progress through the levels, you unlock upgrades that include different attack types with different names. Later on, there are also upgrades that shorten the names of those attack types, as well as upgrades that reduce the delay time.

Regarding the difficulty level, here's my thinking: I've played other typing games where I struggled a lot, but when I looked at the comments, I noticed that people didn't find them as difficult. This made me realize that people who play these games are generally very fast typers. Since I was able to complete my own game, I figured others could too. That's why feedback at this stage is extremely valuable to me, and I'll definitely take your comments into consideration.

I'm currently quite busy with my playtest version and the demo I'm releasing very soon, but if I get the chance, I'd love to check out your game. Thanks again, and I hope everything goes well for you!

Best regards,

Berkay

Hello guys. I just released my demo on itch and looking for some feedbacks.

It is a typing game and I really enjoy testing it.

Little brief about it;

In this game player first type the name of the attack then type the name of the enemy to attack and defeat them.

Enemies follow a path around the platform. If any enemy completes a full loop around the platform, the game is lost. The goal is to defeat the enemies before they complete their loop.

At the end of each level, the player chooses one of three upgrades to become more powerful. These options include adding new attack types. Each attack type has its own strengths allowing players to build the playstyle that suits them best.

I invite you to play the demo and discover the rest for yourself. Feedback is very important to me at this stage, and I hope you enjoy it.
