Very interesting idea gj.

dbralir 2013-04-30 03:11

Very fun and difficult game!

dakeese 2013-04-30 03:13

I love this concept! At first I thought it'd be just like Typing of the Dead, but this is a very original concept!

krahe 2013-04-30 03:14

Clever use of simple mechanic; enjoyable variety. I think I may have enjoyed it a little more if I didn't suck at typing, but overall a really sweet entrant.

dew 2013-04-30 03:18

damn i hate looking at the keyborad when typing letters xD

avrec 2013-04-30 03:39

Very well done! Managed to beat it but that was HARD; gonna have to give my wrists a break.

otoris 2013-04-30 04:21

This style of game is amazing! I love the challenge of typing while thinking of what to type next.

Only complaint is that the audio is really sharp and painful with headphones on. Otherwise, that is quite amazing that was created in 72-hours!

Kudos!

derosa 2013-04-30 08:37

Wow, easy to learn, hard to master :) Had fun with this one! Well done!

mollymus 2013-04-30 09:10

Cool idea! I just disliked that if you slide ~1 frame above the ground you still get it by enemies that are one tile above ground:< Happend so many times:(

kbm0 2013-04-30 12:39

Very engaging mechanics. Nice idea and execution, although the graphics are a little hard on the eyes. Good job!

onlyslightly 2013-04-30 12:42

Wow that was a lot of fun. Awesome mechanic!

ataxkt 2013-04-30 13:54

Having to type pause to pause is evil. Love it.

multitude 2013-04-30 13:57

Wow - finally a game where i learn something. The idea is pretty cool, but maybe the game is a bit hard - or i should train my typing. ;)

xaychru04 2013-04-30 14:02

Great game! I like the concept of typing actions, but it's a little difficult if you can't type without looking at your keyboard :)

dertom 2013-04-30 15:06

Great game...and especially with the level design you did a great job constantly increasing the difficulty. Very challenging game where you always have the feeling it is you who screwed it up and not the level is too hard...(super meat boy-like :D)
Again, great job!

entity2d 2013-04-30 20:06

Fun, yet tricky game.

ragzouken 2013-04-30 20:06

Such a cool idea! The sliding through walls glitches are really funny :D

jellycakes 2013-04-30 20:08

Really cool, nice way to play a platformer. Funky lincoln is probably the best character i've seen. Good job!

harsayhd 2013-04-30 20:11

Challenging level design. Sometimes controls can be annoying (pixel perfect slide on air) but I like it!

ecool377 2013-05-02 02:01

Good start, kinda hard though.

chowdy 2013-05-02 02:07

Really neat mechanic. Very challenging levels... frustrating but satisfying to pull off well.

cahman 2013-05-02 02:13

I liked it. That's the funkiest Mr. Lincoln has ever been! Maybe typing other words, instead typing the action name every time would mix it up?

tyro 2013-05-02 02:14

Great graphics and a fun take on the runner game genre. I kept having Megaman 8 flashbacks while playing this for some reason...

awppy 2013-05-02 02:28

Funky Lincoln Teaches Typing

This game was really neat. Congrats on your clever idea - it was well executed and the difficulty ramps up quite nicely. Around level 10 I started getting bored of it, but kept going to see the end.

joekinley 2013-05-02 11:35

Gah what a hard game. I kept typing "JUM"... and waited to enter that P... same with SLIDE... i guess everyone did just that. But as soon as I had to slide mid air, i was just too bad. Kept screwing up that part.

Fun little idea, although I found it rather annoying to type in the whole jump. Yeah I guess that was the point there, still it was weird and all.

The sound was bad. It was totally annoying and loud. Well, at least it had sound.

Good work though. It ran great, everything seemed well done.

lotusgame 2013-05-02 11:48

Great idea. Rapidly difficult. Would be fun to learn keyboard.

vapgames 2013-05-02 13:26

Fun and hard!

fishbrain 2013-05-02 17:42

Brilliant! Really enjoyed this... got to level 10 and had to bail.

captainkraft 2013-05-02 17:46

This game is a ton of fun. It gets pretty tough, which I love. If you make some graphics that don't burn out my retinas, you'd have an epic game haha. Well done

qaterknan 2013-05-02 17:46

I broke my fingers. But it was worth it! :D

ariake81 2013-05-02 20:53

didnt work for me, just hung on a black screen?.... funky lincoln is an awesome name though!

smilingcat 2013-05-02 21:14

This played really well. Very original and very well polished.

stqn 2013-05-02 21:21

Pretty fun, but I stopped at level 6 which was a bit hard. I might come back to this one later ;). Too bad the scrolling is so jerky.

kiwiboi 2013-05-03 12:27

Great game, even though it looks generic the controls make it pretty unique, well done guys! :)

linuus 2013-05-03 12:34

Hahaha so frustrating! XD

goerp 2013-05-03 19:49

Haha, funny. I played it with CAPSLOCK on just to be sure.
Why it had to be lincoln, I have no idea, but it makes it all the better.
It had the old skool vibe to it, including the bleeps (also from me) and the difficulty.
Good one.

netmute 2013-05-03 20:04

Phew, took me a while to realize I have to type. I almost already failed at the menu screen :D
Very fun game, gets devilishly hard in the later levels ;)

rafaelsales 2013-05-03 21:16

Awesome game! Typing mechanics are really funny and hard to master. Congratz!

zkenshin 2013-05-05 02:09

Quite a unique experience. :)

mildmojo 2013-05-07 08:06

I love offbeat typing games. Never realized how hard it is to type the word JUMP. That index finger has to hit 3 keys!

I feel like I just barely beat the game. The JUMPSLIDE was really satisfying. You did a great job at teaching new mechanics and then leveraging them in complex and difficult patterns.

alwaysinbeta 2013-05-13 12:19

Really good fun. Stuck on level 6 though. It got brutal!

ryusui 2013-05-16 05:33

There was no way a game with this title couldn't be hilarious. I gave up at Level 10 - the timing was insane, and I'm pretty fast with my fingers. XD

dremelofdeath 2013-05-16 08:15

really neat concept you got here, but man level 10 is freaking hard, eventually just gave up there

seconddimension 2013-05-17 02:43

Very well done, I mean it was bloody hard but a great idea. Good work

brassawiking 2013-05-19 18:17

I wiped out at level 10 =\ Awesome game and concept! Really liked this one. I said What Da Faq?! out loud when you started doing slides midair.

minionstudios 2013-05-20 16:32

Fun! Challenging my typing skillz.

snoringfrog 2013-05-20 23:53

Very unique idea. Definitely would have been way too simple without the typing mechanic. I liked it.
