Focusing entirely on parrying is a strong hook, and the rhythm based timing sounds like it could feel very satisfying if tuned well. I like the clear identity.

This is honestly such a cool first project, especially if this is literally your first time coding anything ever. Finishing a playable game is a big deal, even if it is simple, because jumping mechanics, spawning platforms and score logic are exactly the kind of things that teach you how games really work under the hood. I like that you actually shipped it instead of just tinkering and quitting halfway, that alone puts you ahead of a lot of beginners. Games like Doodle Jump seem easy until you try to recreate that smooth feel yourself, so respect for sticking with it through all the small details. Stuff like this also shows how learning by doing works way better than tutorials alone, similar to how I usually check real reviews and breakdowns before trying something new, for example when looking at bonus systems and mechanics explained clearly on pages like https://ausscasinosanalyzer.com/au/casino-bonuses/joefortune.com because it helps you understand what is actually going on instead of guessing. Keep building small projects like this and you will be surprised how fast your skills grow. Would be interesting to see what you add next, maybe different enemies or power ups once you feel comfortable.

I agree with you. Analog horror games live or die on atmosphere, and this one nailed it. The warped facial features were easily the most disturbing part for me, especially because they felt subtle rather than overdone. Even if someone isn’t familiar with The Smile Tapes, the idea of a drug that slowly twists people visually and mentally comes across really well. For such a short experience, it left a surprisingly strong impression.

This is actually a super fun idea and yeah typing as a mechanic totally works when it’s tied to real gameplay instead of just “type faster” drills, Typing of the Dead was proof of that. I like that you’re thinking about relics and power ups too, because that’s what turns it into a roguelite people replay for builds and combos, not just for practice. One thing I’d suggest is adding a bit of risk reward into the spell system, like longer words giving bigger effects, or streaks unlocking special casts, because that’s the kind of loop that keeps people hooked. It’s the same reason “try it with no commitment” formats work so well in games and platforms, like in this review befizetés nélküli bónusz which explains why no deposit bonuses get popular since people can jump in, test the experience, and feel the excitement without risking their own money . Your game already has that easy entry vibe since it’s on itch and quick to try, so lean into it hard. I’ll definitely give it a go and if you keep building it out, a typing roguelite could be seriously addictive in the best way.

I’d experiment with pacing — let the suspense linger a bit longer than you’d expect, because in literature, the “slow burn” hits harder than instant consequences.

Oh, totally feel you on this one — ratings without context are basically noise. I think forcing a short comment with reasoning would make everything way more useful for both players and devs. Honestly, it’s like what we do over at https://casinosanalyzer.com/online-casinos for online casinos: we don’t just slap a score on a site or a game, we dig into the reasons behind it licenses, game variety, payment options, bonuses, support, security - you name it. That way, someone reading the review knows why a platform is good or sketchy, not just that it “feels right.” Imagine if Itch did the same for games every rating backed by real reasoning it’d make the feedback actually helpful instead of random stars.

Having a little animal buddy cheering you on while you write sounds way more fun than staring at a blank page. Personally, I’d totally use something like this — even just seeing progress visually makes procrastination way less tempting. Maybe add some mini “rewards” or silly animations when you hit milestones, that’d keep the motivation rolling

Awesome, I’ve been waiting for this! Can’t wait to dive in and see the new vibes!

I’d say: it’s an RPG with a fun story, made by a small creator, DistractionsDaily. If it feels tough, that’s because it’s the finale of his series and builds on his earlier StickMINI games on Scratch. Definitely worth checking out to support a small creator.

Nice! Hyper Jump sounds intense dodging bombs, lasers, and grenades while chasing orbs sounds like a real test of reflexes. I might not be able to play, but I love the thrill just reading about it. Scoring 50 already sets a solid challenge bet it gets crazy fast after a few obstacles stack up!

Pure Azure sounds like a really exciting game from Wondersy Studios! The mix of immersive visuals and fresh gameplay mechanics is definitely what keeps me coming back to new releases. I’m always on the lookout for something unique to try out, and games like this that offer an innovative experience are definitely worth diving into. While you’re exploring new titles like Pure Azure, you might also want to check out https://casinosfest.com/fr/ for detailed reviews on trustworthy online casinos and their welcome bonuses. It’s super helpful to see which platforms offer great bonuses and a smooth gaming experience, especially when you’re looking for a place that’s both fun and secure to play. Whether you’re into classic or new games, knowing where to play can really elevate the whole experience. Enjoy exploring!

 I’d buy that just for the variety swapping games without buying new cabinets is huge. Make it easy to switch titles and have a good library, and it could definitely sell.
