Wow, those graphics look good. Srsly, really nice style. The idea of sacrificing friends is brutal and unique. I think, it matches the theme well. I just don‘t find the typing thing appealing. I would prefer mouse or touch based interaction, like throwing the dudes under the ball with my own hands.
It's a cool idea for an educational game, it would have been a lot more fun to learn to type this way in school than the programs we were using lol In it's current form it needs a difficulty curve that ramps up even if it's simply increasing the speed sooner...or you could expand and throw in more powerful weapons/ammo to pick up that require typing a full word, or maybe unlocking a treasure chest by typing a full phrase, using a tool in your inventory by typing it out etc. Good work!
Nothing like throwing your cohorts under the bus... I mean boulder! Lots of fun, great art style. Nice job!
It takes some time to understand what you have to do but when you do, it's quite addictive. Nice presentation. A strange but fun game overall ^^!
Fun game! Graphics are very nice, music is also great. Well made
It looks great, the graphics are fun, the sounds too but I am useless at this type of game sadly so couldnt enjoy it as much as I would have liked too.
The typing mechanic is very well done and easy enough to follow.
well done on a great entry and still scores high even though I am such a poor typer!
Nice mechanic with typing, unfortunately to easy if your used to typing a lot, since the difficulty doesn't ramp up enough - stopped playing at 139 victims. Big boulder could roll faster and faster or rock pickup could be several letters or simple math 3+2 (type 5 as you pass it), or first name + last name to throw friends under the boulder something to gradually make you type faster and faster or multiple things in parallel. Great execution though. Like the idea BPO_Jeff had with typing phrase to gain a powerup (bag of rocks maybe). Super idea for an educational game.
Hi everyone, thanks for the comments. We really appreciate them :)
the default that you pointed out are known
We didn't have enough time for upgrading the difficulty gradually or add some bonus etc, but that's good ideas.
In our head we even think about a multiplayer game but not enough time to deal with server en all that stuff in a ludum so we decided to stay on the solo mode.
Thanks again for playing and for the feedback :)
I managed to glitch behind the boulder and it then eventually seemed to freeze. Nice artwork.
Ajajaj, funny concept and gorgeous graphics for a jam. My congrats.
Funny concept. Nice art style! It's good work.
You should sell this to schools, so kids really learn to type :D It's very very catchy, I killed 134 names before my boss told me to start working again.
