FYI- Hardmode is intended for people who do data entry as a day job, because the game is way easy for them.

That was really awesome. Great idea and execution. The music that played when you failed was incredible.

I love the art work - it's beautiful.

Haha, never played a dog prankcalling demons before, this is the first!^^ That was pretty fucking awesome! Good job!

beautiful artwork and one of the strangest games I've ever played (good thing)

cosmonautas 2014-08-26 08:26

Nice Job xD

I don't know if it's a glitch or I just failed miserably, but often times a number would be switching insanely fast with another number underneath. I could click the right number but the game wouldn't move on and I couldn't progress.

Badass.

This is my first 5 star game of the jam! The art, lore, humour and music all coordinate to produce something truly striking. Miss u Phil Horse D:

Holy dogs**t. I don't know what kind of medicines did you take before LD, but this is just crazy. I love it :D

Awesome graphics and mood and innovative gameplay.

Who knew repaying karmic debt was so much fun? Makes me want to go and accumulate some more. I loved the premise of this and the atmosphere was incredible - artwork, sound, the lot. A lot of depth and polish for a jam game too.

My only complaint (and this is a very subjective one) is that I had to look at the keypad while typing and so missed out on a lot of the awesome visuals. But this is my fault really for not being able to touch type...

Anyway, superb work. One of my favourites so far.

@Coopnasty the number scrambling is intentional (it's tied to demon suffixes, so some demons are naughtier than others) however there is a slight bug in that the scrambled number doesn't turn black along with the real number underneath. Hopefully this is something I can fix later on cos I think it requires redoing the UI. The scrambled numbers were an afterthought when I realised programmers and people who deal with Excel daily were way too good at it :P

If you see the fire particles above the scramble it means you got it and can move on.

the art work is realy good.

nice game

primaerfunktion 2014-08-26 10:17

Really cool game, especially loved the art. Really great work!

resni 2014-08-26 13:28

Outstandingly awesome! The visuals are amazing, the atmosphere is great, love the quirkiness and the game is about phone-dogs! The only thing I didn't like was that I can't take time to look at the cool art or read the names while battling unless I want to lose very soon after.

adventureislands 2014-08-26 15:33

Now this is trippy and cool concept, really nice sounds and graphics in this game. Too bad I have to look the keypad to be able play fast enough and I miss all the cool visuals.

0x0961h 2014-08-26 18:50

Wow, that looks... pretty strange, yet very awesome. Good job on it! :)

ryusui 2014-08-27 03:07

Love it, but then I'm the sort of person who gets a cathartic vibe from hammering in numbers to slay a demon. :3

My only issue is that I'd love some kind of windowed mode option - Alt+Enter doesn't work.

rojo 2014-08-27 03:21

The music and art were top notch! I feel like this game is an accountant's wet dream (or anyone else who uses a numpad professionally).

nonentheless 2014-08-27 16:50

What the hell is that? :) Graphics are great, sounds are great, a lot of humor, everything so bizzare. One of my favourits.

razoric 2014-08-27 19:41

The art, the gameplay... just, wow so weird and awesome. Great job!

merlijnvh 2014-08-27 19:44

Amazing. The game feels super complete and polished, I love the art style and especially the character designs. The gameplay is original and fun, too. The difficulty was just a bit hard, those scrambled numbers always got me!

kepamun 2014-08-27 20:52

I've never seen a 10key typing game before. Neat!

Man ,that was a tough game totally awesome work though

katamori 2014-08-28 15:34

Damn sick, and still enjoyable! Strongly enjoyable! Amazing fusion of the two!

And yeah, amazing graphics of course. I have to say I truly loved it.

teameagle 2014-08-28 20:51

Strange... I like it!

moosefly 2014-08-30 20:11

Well, that was interesting. Too bad I'm not used to using the numpad so I had to look at the keyboard a lot while playing and thus missed a lot of stuff. Didn't make it too far even after a few tries, but the aesthetics were brilliant.

Er, what did I just play ? I don't know if I missed something but I didn't get much backstory at the beginning so I was very confused about who I was and what I was doing X).

juniorus 2014-09-09 15:34

Can I rate 10 stars on the Graphics rating? :D
The audio part is crazy too (don't mention the funny backstory), but I think the gameplay lacks of something: it gets too repetitive/tedious unfortunately (maybe I'm missing something....).
