Can't last more than 10 seconds. Try making the speed a little slower?

ppelle 2013-12-16 01:35

Nice graphics and game but I agree with the speed

mcapraro 2013-12-16 05:28

wow, really awesome! a little hard :) wish there was a shorter entry to get you started and in the mood. amazing feel and graphics!

meek 2013-12-16 11:30

We realise it might be difficult for some, so we've added a 'normal mode' where there are slightly less numbers to input.

Thanks for playing!

majorcrampas 2013-12-16 11:37

Liked the style! Gamemaker <3

meek 2013-12-16 11:49

Thanks! It's a little buggy at the moment, but hopefully we'll address a few of these issues today at some point.

xgeovanni 2013-12-16 11:58

I have nowhere near the typing speed for this.

madlee 2013-12-16 12:00

i really like this, even though I couldn't even get past the first number :) I'll have to try again on a keyboard with a number pad

primaerfunktion 2013-12-16 12:01

It`s really tough, but I love the graphics and sounds.

milugames 2013-12-16 12:02

Great style all round. Both graphical, audio and gameplay. Absolutely awesome game idea and execution.

Really frustratingly difficult though. And I would've changed it so you can keep typing from memory when the numbers have already scrolled out of view. That would be more interesting. I kept finding that I'm not making mistakes, but I just can't type the last two digits until the thing already leaves the screen.

Would be awesome if that memory typing was a feature. It would still be just as challenging. Just would add a bit.

loxo 2013-12-16 12:05

Nice graphics and a good idea. I miss some annoying printer sound effects and an easy mode :) Maybe an increase in numbers over time.

louis-denizet 2013-12-16 12:06

Nice game ^^
Easy to understand (the second time xD)

idovoodoo 2013-12-16 12:09

Neat work guys, well done :)

alanzucconi 2013-12-16 12:57

First of all... your pixel art style is AWESOME! One of the best I've seen here! :-)
The game is... hard. Very hard. :p Even in non-hard mode hahh! :D

tijmentio 2013-12-16 13:11

Nice, compact game! Didn't get really far, since it's a bit hard. Maybe starting a bit slower and gradually going faster would be better?

meek 2013-12-16 13:23

We had that in mind, but it turned out it would have added a lot of programming time. Perhaps in a future update someplace. Thanks for playing!

anvoz 2013-12-16 13:41

Very challenging but really fun to play. I've never tried to type number fast so this is a very good game to practice.

doubstract 2013-12-16 15:04

16 seconds!

thejackimonster 2013-12-16 15:08

Very hard, but it's fun! :D

cesisco2 2013-12-16 17:54

Very nice, but with a slower learning curve would be even better.

zhrack 2013-12-16 18:35

Cool game! Very nice art, especially with that old printer!

2013-12-16 19:35

Nice idea and very challenging, however it seemed to stop taking my input after the first number, so I get the first but it stops letting me type after that. I am on Chrome if it makes a difference, I tried both my keypad and the number keys along the top.

meek 2013-12-16 20:44

Thanks for letting us know, G70. Fixed that bug now, should be working again!

meek 2013-12-16 20:46

@G70 Thanks for this feedback! I had not noticed this bug...the game has now been fixed. I put the bug out of it's misery...

cheshyr 2013-12-16 22:25

this made me laugh. great game. :-)

squibbons 2013-12-16 23:51

I am absolutely terrible at using the numpad to enter numbers, so this was insanely hard. It feels like it should ramp the numbers up in length for peeps starting with shorter numbers. Interestingly, it feels like a different take on of what I was attempting to do for this competition, and I think yours is better. =)

pixelulsar 2013-12-17 01:32

Cool idea but I only can make it a few seconds I can't type in the numbers that fast. Looks nice.

gamepopper 2013-12-17 01:58

I couldn't last for 10 seconds, but I really enjoyed what I saw. The graphics definitely have a Paper Please vibe, and the amount of pressure put onto you makes this game both challenging and addictive. Great job! :D

stenol 2013-12-17 19:42

It's hard but it's a funny little game. Gratz !

ismyhc 2013-12-17 22:16

Really cool idea! I love the old school printer ;)

xezko 2013-12-18 00:53

This is pretty cool. I really dig the unsettling mood.
Great work!

colorvade 2013-12-18 12:07

I'm not familiar enough with the number keys to do this, but the feeling of weakness here coupled with the supporting aesthetic is really novel and probably memorable. I wouldn't want it any slower.

ras-lyon 2013-12-18 15:50

Hahah, I love this. Super hard because I don't have a number pad. It's like the typing games we'd play in Junior High. I think words would be more accessible than numbers. The design is fantastic, in one look you understand the scenario. COol!

methamphetabear 2013-12-18 17:59

Haha, finished the game in 7 seconds!

tacospice 2013-12-18 21:23

Pretty cool.

I see comments about the audio, but I didn't hear any? Too bad.

I thought the speed was alright. I got to 3:48 the first time (numpad).

norgg 2013-12-18 21:52

19 seconds on hard mode :D! If you have to look at what you've typed, you're already dead. Haven't had to use those rapid-action number-pad skills in a long time... Have either of you had a soulless job in data entry in the recent past by any chance?

alchiggins 2013-12-18 22:45

Really nice color palette and theme. Sadly my laptop has no number pad - I wasn't ever able to get past the first number string.

headchant 2013-12-18 22:58

Perfect execution of a very good idea!

Jeremias 2013-12-18 23:04

What's name of the guy in the game? Stanley?

(Nice graphics but... not... my type of game :D)

meek 2013-12-19 11:38

@Steve [tacospice] Sorry about the lack of audio. I had noticed this bug before...Are you using firefox by any chance?

@Norgg The programmer served 4 years hard time in a call centre

derevensky 2013-12-19 20:50

Very hard and you made me turn light on lol. Nice theme interpretation!

venks 2013-12-20 07:09

I'm a pretty slow typer so this was pretty much impossible for me. Very interesting though with solid art.

garethiw 2013-12-20 10:14

Yep, I can't even type the first number. But I really loved the idea, the atmosphere, the artwork and the audio :)

mize_vs_mildmojo 2013-12-20 17:35

No audio for me in Firefox for OS X.

I made it to 1:55 after I remembered I had a keyboard with a number pad. OH MY GOD THE TENSION. I'm not sure I could've taken much more. Any kind of ticking or beeping sound effect probably would've done me in. Wow.

Love the artwork and the premise; this is the missing prequel minigame inside the Stanley Parable.

But oh my, the difficulty. Perhaps finding a much faster way to get the player back into the game (a la Super Hexagon) would help. Testing the game without using the number pad might give you a good gauge for an "easy" setting that's still challenging. This game could be great for numpad practice.

soy_yuma 2013-12-20 21:08

I liked it! It's complicated, even in "normal" mode. But I managed to last 1:23 in my first play :-)

before-light 2013-12-21 10:21

I can't win this game :(

drkrunk 2013-12-22 10:11

Ahh this was a little difficult, but my laptop doesn't have a num-pad so it was harder for me. I lasted only 19 seconds haha. Great job for making it so challenging!

stvr 2013-12-30 01:10

Simple, terrifying, and excellent.

nyrrrr 2014-01-04 17:00

I fail so badly :D
But nice graphics and I like the idea

dudsen 2014-01-05 12:07

Ok now I see how people feel when playing my entry... Unfortunately very unplayable with a laptop without numb lock (Additionally I suck at finding the numbers at the top of the keyboard fur sure...). Wait...there is a hard mode, too? Give me a sec, brb. ---- Ok. Even with a numblock impossible for me :D

But there is something about the style I really like. Cant even point at it.

An easy mode would have been nice, and maybe more time for typing the numbers in? I mean there is no reason to register a "mistake" if the numbers are out of screen still being busy at typing. I had them in my head and could have typed them in even if the new number would have appeared.

Overall mood is great by the way!

zerkruemler 2014-01-05 19:24

Nice idea well implemented. I like the printer sound. I only played it once since it has no big replay value and got to 1:16. I think I really don't want to do this job...

brainless-games 2014-01-06 10:06

The game and graphics where really good, it would have been better to have a slower speed but other than that great job.
