Good this is awesome. I made it to the sensei. I wanted to see the end :(

dsoft20 2014-04-29 17:38

Nice game :D, as a non native english speaker sometimes it's a bit difficult to type some letters :P, but even tought it's entertaining

darkuser 2014-04-29 17:47

At first I was like, ugh I don't feel like typing, but it got me hooked on lol. Solid game.

xaychru04 2014-04-29 20:30

I beat the game, yay! :D
First typing game I see in this LD, awesome graphisms and music! I really had fun playing it, the overall fast paced mood was awesome!

cirrial 2014-04-29 21:38

Oh my god I love this game. Yes. Every element is amazing.

mrleeperry 2014-04-29 22:41

Hahahha, that's quite a bizarre setup for a game. Love it :)

jumbocactuarx27 2014-04-30 01:13

The world definitely needs more typing games like this one.

I hope your senpai notices you.

sonnybone 2014-04-30 03:35

WHOA MAN - I was expecting a cool ending but I'll settle for TBC... One of my fave games thus far. Really cool use of the theme... rad art... great dialogue... rad music... just an overally refreshingly great experience. LOVE IT!

alexrose 2014-04-30 03:49

GOTY.

Rofl, this game is fucking hilarious as shit man, love it. Wish the text was faster though (especially at the beginning), didn't take any damage, but the amazing dialogue made up for it. My favourite game of the jam so far.

zeh 2014-04-30 15:58

A fine specimen as always. Getting my ass kicked by the final boss. I love it.

zyxer 2014-04-30 20:16

If I had had this game as a kid I would defently be able to type faster now! :D

I love this game! Great way of combining storytelling and gameplay.

fullmontis 2014-04-30 23:13

Well shit, that was impressive. Amazing job for a weekend for sure! Graphics are amazing and gameplay is not innovative but always fun. And the humor is just fantastic :D

jaypc 2014-05-01 00:08

it was really cool to see a typing game, I am a fan of games like typing of the dead. I think the speed of the words was a little too fast at least at the beginning. also If I got caught on a word I couldn't just accept I was going to take damage and skip the word and move on to the next one which was kind of annoying and after getting hit once by a word the next one is too close to have time to type out anything longer then 3 or 4 letters.

mrshoestore 2014-05-01 00:12

Good. I beat it and it was fun.

mechabit 2014-05-01 00:12

Hilarious!

radmars 2014-05-01 01:05

(roushey)
@JayPC: Ah good call, didnt think about that. Maybe something like hitting 'tab' to cycle to the next word would help. XD As far as difficulty goes, we had a bit of a time figuring out how hard to make it, we didnt have a chance to do different difficulty modes, so we had to middle of the road it a bit.

@SonnyBone aye aye, I too am sad about the TBC, but alas time, time, time. T.T

solifuge 2014-05-01 03:28

This is a really fantastic entry. The art is crisp and functional, and you've hit upon a unique way to turn exposition into a game. Also, the last boss... wow. Not something I'd been expecting, and I kept on wondering what was "beneath the surface" until the very end. It's a nice smooth difficulty curve, too.

Very fitting audio and SFX. The only thing that I'd look to changing is the beam animation--watching it going past the enemy as they complain about how much it hurts damages the immersion a little bit.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to the continuation!

papygaragos 2014-05-01 14:12

Haha seriously, wtf? That student is so creepy
It gets hard really quick though, I couldn't pass the second enemy.

Good job, this is a great entry

2hitadam 2014-05-01 14:22

Just incredible and hilarious all round. Wanting to know what happens next is the main driving force in this game, so the idea of having to replay sections on death made me not try to beat it more than once, but I had lots of fun! :)

moosefly 2014-05-01 15:54

Damn, crashed my browser (Pale Moon v: 24.4.2 (x64) after I met my "future self" and typed "God damnit." :/. Crashed again after reaching my future self and typing the first word. Managed to finish it on the latest version of Chrome though.

Grinned like a madman while playing this. Awesomely whimsical "story" and atmosphere. Lovely experience. I think this has the best implementation of typing based gameplay out of all the similar games I've played so far. Too bad for you though, I am also a robot. BEEP BOOP.

dustoutgames 2014-05-01 17:20

This was incredibly silly in the best ways and I love it!

tuism 2014-05-01 17:22

Awesome! Fantastic! :D I just can't believe you left it... like that! :P

Good damn job, looking forward to more? Though gameplay wise... Not sure what more there could be :)

Typing of the dead was epic though, damn :)

wicht 2014-05-01 17:22

Nice mix of mechanics, funny story, well done!

miwuc 2014-05-01 17:23

I do love me a typing game. I wish there was more, I was really intrigued by the story! Great job.

d2fxrayg 2014-05-01 17:37

This is AMAZING :D

TaoPhoenix 2014-05-01 17:43

Tips for first timers:
Ignore punctuation
love love is a double word
try to stay way ahead to give time for the big words.
The first couple are magnificent and administrators

mortus 2014-05-01 17:43

Never thought I'd like a typing game! :D

sharpcoder 2014-05-01 17:47

Amazingly well done. It's a hilarious story that is nicely presented and has a lot of polish. Fantastic take on the theme!

ithildin 2014-05-01 18:02

Fun and funny. I managed to beat the future you at the first try, yay :D(not sure if there's a different ending, guess I'll have to keep trying)

Great, great entry. Congrats!

shide 2014-05-01 18:11

Great idea, great realisation, everything is so good. Except the difficulty, maybe, I've almost died beating the guy, and than there is a sensei. It forced me to rage quit :)

msaul 2014-05-01 18:22

cool music, cool graphics, cool game, fun as hell. Well done.

jod 2014-05-01 18:24

Loved this! I didn't get the feeling my choices made a difference, game-wise. Although I got to say 'Suck beam, robo-creep', so that made my day.

Did have some problems showing the graphics on chrome though, but I guess that might just be my shitty comp. Awesome entry, loved the humor!

7hesama 2014-05-01 18:25

Crashed when I beat myself from the future... what happened? Don't really feel like going through it again.

Anyways, nice entry. Typing games aren't my thing but it was funny.

oye-beto 2014-05-01 18:42

Yes! I beat the game at the first try. I think I type pretty fast but it was a little hard.

I liked the feedback (sound and visuals) it feels very polished and the length of the game is good. Fun and exciting game, great entry.

PS: I remember your splash screen from other LD :)

daanvanyperen 2014-05-01 18:53

Fun to play! Some letters are hard to read which made the typing a bit frantic at times. ;)

seconddimension 2014-05-01 19:16

Damn you! Who can type 'administrators' that fast! Really good fun

thegreentie 2014-05-01 19:19

That was hilarious! Great job :D

sakuyan 2014-05-01 19:37

Ok I have found the most perfect game.

gfm 2014-05-01 19:38

Awesome game! The way you guys used typing in this game was interesting. I don't think I've seen another game like this. I stopped at the third enemy.. it is though! ARG >_<
Everything is great in this game... but the audio... Wow!!

Great job!!

lyla 2014-05-01 19:43

Woah, what a polished game and pretty fun too. Got to the end and wanted to keep going because of the bizarre story and simple but satisfying game play. I’m interested enough to wish there was a little more variation, whether it comes from narrative choice or battle strategy. The graphics, sound, and mood come together to create the campy-anime mood really well.

jacklehamster 2014-05-02 02:48

Got drawn in by the graphics. Then at first, I fought... meh it's just words. Then it turned out to be quite engaging, especially with the funny dialog. Nice work!

rvmook 2014-05-02 05:42

Awesome! I suck at typing though so I kept getting my ass kicked

christinaneofotistou 2014-05-02 08:08

lovely! quirky, funny! very hard at Nani for some reason...

degtyarev 2014-05-02 20:31

hehe, nice game! :)

arcturusdeluxe 2014-05-02 23:13

Well I can't say I was expecting to play Anime Typing of the Dead during this competition, but there you go. Fun stuff indeed! The graphics and sound are top notch.

dreii 2014-05-03 04:09

Holy crap that was awesome! on like every front! 5 stars haha!

nonobattle 2014-05-03 15:17

To make one thing clear first, this is unfortunately really not my type of game, but it made me stick longer than to any other typing game.
A LOT longer!

Graphics and sound worked very well on creating this japanese date-game style atmosphere, and the characters look interesting enough for me to crave for their stories.

Text is comprehensive and polished, while the SFX on typing fit very well and aid the perception of correct typing while not being a nuisance.

Overall you made this entertaining and really challenging.

ehtd 2014-05-03 15:43

Superb! Excellent everything

ditto 2014-05-04 04:29

Fuuuucking amazing! So Japanese, so intense, so damn entertaining! I actually died against "you from the future", but dammit I will come back and get revenge! Great game! Thanks a lot! :D

lyje 2014-05-04 16:11

A totally ingenious way to prevent players from skipping dialogue and not getting the story of your game. Also - it's so fun!

snoother 2014-05-04 17:54

Wow, quite possibly the most innovative gameplay so far. The challenge ramps up nicely and the whole package is fabulously polished.

conormn 2014-05-06 01:37

Excellent typing game!!!

raiyumi 2014-05-06 01:57

Haha, now that was unexpected. I would love to see the continuation of this. :)

kiririn51 2014-05-06 02:34

HAHA oh my god this game is amazing, 10/10 made me fell off my chair. Loved the story to bits, was like "how's this beneath the surface" until that guy mentioned it and all made sense.

chuigum 2014-05-06 04:41

My favorite game so far! Love the graphics, music, innovations, and gampelay!

woodenrabbit 2014-05-06 06:03

Hahahaha I had a good laugh from this :D

karaajayde 2014-05-06 06:55

So. Much. Fun!
I found this game super hard though :P had to play it a lot to finish it. I eventually realized if you press space in between words (even though you don't need to) it helps your hands increase in speed. Must be habitual.

mase 2014-05-06 18:07

Very nice scenario.

My hunt & peck technique was maxed out on the second fight... the third is too much for me.

phocker 2014-05-07 03:50

really great game - added to my faves!

crooksister 2014-05-07 09:56

That Was SOOO Difficult!! damn you slow typing. Great idea :)

neekobus 2014-05-07 20:23

Fun !
You really should enlarge the size of the text.
And add a special power (every 10 word or something) to "push back" the words, because when you lose a word, it's hard to get back in the race.

But nice little game !

jacob-peltola 2014-05-08 02:04

pretty fun game, I was only able to make it to the clone

donovanwu 2014-05-09 01:47

This game is the funniest I've played XD

ddrkirbyisq 2014-05-09 02:43

bahahaha. I don't know if everyone will appreciate the humor here as much as I did. <3

Difficulty settings would be nice; i'm sure this was too hard for some people but others of us are 100+ WPM typers here ;)

acuity 2014-05-09 07:59

Bahaahah that was pretty amusing. Good work!

drprettypatty 2014-05-10 04:06

Ahhhh I was hoping for a sweet ending or a choice at the end but the awesomeness of this game made up for it! Fantastic job! It was kind of an aha moment for me when the first robot said beneath the surface, don't know how I didn't see that coming haha.

caranha 2014-05-11 11:20

That was pretty cool! The connection with the theme was a bit of an stretch, but I have a thing for word-typing games.

I think the robo-student should show some sort of damage as her life gets low.

Great graphics and music, Cheers!

flannelvindicate 2014-05-13 16:03

You have been featured in today's episode of Ludum Dare to Believe! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7etD3Gtqvg

nightshadow0 2014-05-13 18:05

Hahaha this is absolutely brilliant! I love how you made the plot itself into the words you need to type, very clever design. Do the choices affect anything, though?

jsmars 2014-05-13 19:47

Fun game I love typing games, too bad there was no real ending tho? (right?)

mechabit 2014-05-13 21:34

"to be continued..." NOOOOOOOO

depp 2014-05-18 09:32

Jeez, what an awesome game. Needs some difficulty settings, I found it a bit easy!

Jeremias 2014-05-18 21:14

The third stage was too hard for me :D I like the game, it was a lot of fun to play. The graphics and the sounds and music are really great. Very, very well done!

jorgemoag 2014-05-19 01:10

wow! time travel included ! :D
