Very nice atmosphere, thank you!

ivo 2013-08-26 20:27

love how it gets really stressful over time, 'you are not your job'

Nice and moody, but the difficulty is probably too high for most people. I got stuck on "That's natural. It's nature doing her job. You have the only option to accept fate." and there's no way I could type even more than that in 10 seconds :)

I've helped on the development on this game and i'm very happy with the feedback about the difficulty and the mood of the game.
I would like to hear from you guys about the sentences in english, cause it's not my native language, so.
I know we got some other things to fix but i'm very happy with our result.
Thanks Ludum Dare! =)

Great game, loved the mood and the music. The artwork really adds to the "atmosphere", as Alex said. I agree that's really hard, just couldn't get through the 4th message...maybe you could add/shuffle some easier messages in future versions, so that'd be less frustrating for the starters (myself included =]) Nice job \o/

Atmosphere is great. Sentences, you wrote "a opportunity" instead of "an opportunity" at one point, but that's all right. It's legible. :)

Philosophy! I like philosophy. Nice graphics and text, and having to type what i read (and on a timer) really makes me pay attention to the words.

tigerj 2013-08-27 04:14

@pg The only thing I noticed grammatically is that I kept stumbling trying to type "an opportunity" instead of "a opportunity" in english we use an if the next word begins with a vowel. a banana, an apple.

I like the gameplay and the concept. the scenes were really cool too!

futuristteletex 2013-08-27 04:39

whoo.. gets tough! and i thought i was okay typist.. enjoyed it.. even if it was depressing haha good job .. never thought i could enjoy a typing type game..

epiplon 2013-08-27 06:48

Are we allowed to fix the language mistakes for the Jam? Because I think it falls on the typo category.

flamecow 2013-08-27 15:42

Feels a little morbid, but still made me think. Not bad.

nickw 2013-08-27 15:48

This game just has something that Typing of the Dead just cannot give me.

eckcz 2013-08-27 16:03

Its really hard for who is not a native writer of english :D but awesome atmosphere.

diptoman 2013-08-27 17:17

This is a wonderful entry! There are grammatical errors here and there, and the "philosophy" seemed kinda shallow, but I digged the idea behind the game. Awesome work!

agumaster 2013-08-27 17:47

it was a hard game that lead me into remember my every day depression...AWESOME. Incredible mood, and because life is passing by, and we are dying every second, i want to make more games :D !

ithildin 2013-08-28 01:28

Good work! The mood is excellent (we should always keep present that "You are not your job"), and the difficulty becomes a challenge (but not something impossible) soon enough, which is a plus for me.

I can type at a reasonable speed, even though I'm not a native English speaker. Still, I struggled through the last levels to complete them (which I did...yay!). I found it interesting how I had to "unlearn" typing punctuation marks to separate words to save on unnecessary key strokes.

Congratulations! :D

Beautiful game! Very moody and a great experience. I just love the unsettling feeling it causes on the player... and the fact that its not just another thing you load, play and in the next 3 minutes you don`t remember it anymore. I`m sure this game will last long in my memory as something truly unique! Great work guys and thanks for the game!

shmarah 2013-08-28 04:24

A few nitpicky grammar things like "You born" should instead be "You are born"
It definitely achieved the mood it was going for, even if that mood was a saddening, "Life is pointless" kind of message. I'm glad I can type fast, but the line with the numbers in it threw me off!

starspell 2013-08-28 18:39

I was enjoying it til the opportunity screen came up. A little too hard for me and I'm a pretty fast typist. An interesting idea for a game.

grooveman 2013-08-28 18:44

I can't touch type, so when passing the stages I ended up missing a lot of the animations. It's a cute idea though, saying nothing of the philosophy.

martin_monosys 2013-08-30 21:50

Nice enough, but I can't type fast to save my live...Isn't this a bit difficult?!?

lokarunith 2013-08-31 18:53

I can't get past "from 10 to 10 (...)" It's too hard but despite I never got to the end I get the message perfectly, very intresting game with a strong atmosphere.

futuristteletex 2013-08-31 18:59

Very philosophical.

purplescape 2013-08-31 21:31

Very contemplative mood. The graphics and gameplay make you think about the messages and your existence. It was challenging not to type punctuation because it's second nature.

meta87 2013-09-01 01:06

Very unique concept! Fit the theme well and the game is thoughtfully done, nice work :)

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!

Awesome game though!!

otus 2013-09-03 16:01

This is a very nice production.

Very hard too! I got stuck in "Life's passing and you're not doing anything useful". I'm not a very fast typer :(

I like the moody feel. Nice job!

foxtacy 2013-09-04 00:24

Great! a typeracer with some storyline!

Great job! :D

raiyumi 2013-09-05 01:19

Was pretty easy, but difficulty was just right. I could see this with a more fleshed out story and better graphics. :) would be cool to add those spaces and commas too.
