Looks cool! But i'm on a mac... :/
you gonna port it?

vini60 2015-04-20 02:20

Very simple yet fun! It goes a bit out of the theme tho. But anyway, overall it was good !

aroymart 2015-04-20 02:23

fun and it was a nice interpretation of the theme. I enjoyed it

thommazk 2015-04-20 02:24

Nice! Very difficult!

tppr2046 2015-04-20 02:27

It's hard to play if I have a small monitor....
I can not see the word in bottom-right corner...

Seems like a great concept, I could see this being a fun game for people to increase typing speed, it was also rather fun too

Definitely the funniest way of learning to type with a keyboard :-) I missed some music and maybe some screen shaking. Also the wall of text that is the menu doesn't feel inviting for me.

Cute graphics. Good sound. It was fun at first but no sense of progression - was an end created? Could have been more levels, or harder words, enemies faster, etc.

madameberry 2015-04-20 16:24

I like this! I think instead of pressing space twice (once to load, once to shoot) it should auto-load as soon as you type the word correctly.
I would've loved to play this game as a kid when I was learning to type, instead of playing the dumb airport-simulator-typing-game thing my dad bought. Haha

Pretty cool, might be a great way to teach typing!

awestsecurity 2015-04-20 22:28

I can't see the word to type. my screen is too small.

maunovaha 2015-04-22 09:16

one of the funniest typing games I have played. nicely done. :P

12pechasofsouls 2015-04-22 09:33

Nice game. It's very difficult but funny. Nice graphic style too :D

pvwradtke 2015-04-23 02:46

I think this could become a nice tutor to train people yo type faster :).

junber 2015-04-23 20:31

Nice game really liked the graphics. It would probably be enough to press space once to fire though. I also didnt found this as hard as the others say even though im not really into typing fast.

Very adorable characters. Not original but good execution. Good jobs guys.

PD: It is the second game of write words that I saw in this LD.

Nice work! I like the spin on typing games; usually the aliens have a word associated with them, but I like how the weapon is loaded with the words (I disagree with other people about pressing space twice; I thought it was a good mechanic). I found the game too easy to be engaging for long; some more enemies and mechanics would be cool if you expand on this. Great job!

projectx593 2015-04-24 02:26

Kinda fun, but needed to ramp up the difficulty - I found it way too easy.

badlydrawnrod 2015-04-24 19:53

Killed when I made an errer (error).

I like how your typing game requires people to look at the screen, not their fingers.

I like typing games in general anyway... a very successful interpretation of the theme.

Nice take on asteroids. The mechanic worked really well.

pietro-ferrantelli 2015-04-25 19:11

It's really fun ! Good job, especially for a first one and a 20 hours work !

belowzerogames 2015-04-26 16:06

Good job, I had the same problem as others that I couldn't see my word due to my screen size , if there was a way to full screen the game would be awesome :-)

bentglasstube 2015-04-29 02:21

Really nice concept and well executed. Some kind of goal or variety in the enemies would have been nice. Also, it was hard to have to look down at the corner to see the next word.

jprogman 2015-04-29 21:28

Thanks for making a small-screened version.
I don't know if there is a penalty for mistyping a word other than having to re-type the word again.
Very nice typing game.

rialgar 2015-04-29 21:36

Great simple game, I kind of wished the difficulty would change over time. Like just spawning enemies faster the longer I play, which also create more of the awesome multi-kill-moments.

arche-san 2015-05-01 19:27

Simple but fun and addictive game. Perhaps a bit easy: I didn't notice if the number of enemies depends on time elapsed or number of enemies killed or just a fixed time.

jerryleelodbrok 2015-05-08 02:57

Good work

nihilaleph 2015-05-08 03:43

Fun game! It remembers me those fast-type games. It could have variable difficulty though, like having to type phrases or more enemies/second.

rojo 2015-05-11 19:13

Pretty solid! I liked the aesthetics, and the gameplay felt pretty good. It'd be nice to have some music as well as some different enemies / enemy movement patterns.
