Great idea!
loved the game, art and music are nicely done.

overall, very well done :D

Such game could be used to learn vocabulary for foreign languages.

Very nice! I like it.

Hi, when trying to run your game I received this error:

There should be 'DragonScriber_Data'
folder next to the executable

I'm not sure if this is just a problem for me or what but yeah any help would be appreciated

twinters 2015-08-25 13:43

@Shugor: Thanks for notifying me! If you redownload the game, it shouldn't give that error anymore.

Really intresting idea! Pretty difficult.

Finally a game I'm good at! Great art, music and gameplay. Initially I thought that if the knights were to reach the tower, the game would end, but they still have to carry the princess back. Awesome idea, congratulations Thomas!!

Very solid, lovely graphics and music! I like how you can sometimes try to guess the name before you can see it fully.

One nitpick is that when names overlap, they are hard to read.

Very well made, got to wave 11 before finally giving up.

blackquiltro 2015-08-25 14:32

Really fun typing game! Very well made.

+ I liked your art style a lot. Very simple yet very cohesive and beautiful
+ Difficulty is good. Gets challenging fast but manageable.
+ Fun, wanted to play again several times!

- More roar power! (I just think the slay knight sound effect could be more powerful)

Congratulations!

Nice! I always look out for the typing games, this is one of my favorites this time around. I like how the ones with the more fancy names became a natural part of the difficulty curve. One thing I found somewhat annoying towards the end was when persons will really long names came from the left of the screen. Impossible to see them before they almost reached the princess. Cleaver of them!

shugor 2015-08-25 19:29

Thanks that fixed it. Really fun game! I always enjoy typing games like this. Really got tough once they got the princess down off of the castle. Good job!

This is really well done, congrats! I had a lot of fun playing this one, simple to jump in and play but gets really challenging, the perfect combo! Nice work!

crazi456 2015-08-26 02:23

Very adorable! Loved the audio

teesquared 2015-08-26 02:37

I like the way the waves get harder and that movement speed is based on typing difficulty. Very completed and fun game.

yamzho 2015-08-26 11:38

That's a nice little game ! :) Well done !

frostvoid 2015-08-26 11:47

Woooo, Wave 8! very enjoyable game. nicely executed :)

zettelkasten 2015-08-26 12:06

This is a very good example how choosing a simple and solid idea can make a game very good!
Very nicely done and polished.
Got to 125k points and stopped playing then, perhaps it is a bit too easy? ;-)

micdoodle8 2015-08-26 17:04

Great job, the

micdoodle8 2015-08-26 17:05

Great job, the art style is nice and typing works flawlessly.

caspila 2015-08-26 18:35

this was a very interesting take on the theme. I had quite a bit of fun! graphics are cool and also sound. I wished there was a bit more to gameplay because it gets tiring after a while. The beginning of each next subsequent wave is harder, but after the first crowd, it goes back to a slow paced game.
It was also a very forgiving type game, we could make mistakes, no upper/lower case distinction, no spacebar. Maybe instead of adding more words, you could make them harder by adding limitations like this.

Great job nonetheless. Had fun!

This is great! Love the art and the mechanic of typing those names.

EPIC. NAME. LIST. Wow. Skews European, but has incredible variety. Long names coming from the sides can be make you want to hurry the dudes up. It's like "Archbish--OH GET ON WITH IT ALREADY." I like how the shorter the name, the faster the knight.

I got to wave 12 before I decided I was done and let the knights have the castle. 130,744. http://imgur.com/0foCb2i

Levels 3 and 5 seemed to ambush me with a ton of dudes right at the start. Almost got overwhelmed at the beginning of those waves. The rest were fine. Not sure what happened there.

That was fun. Nico and Toby were delicious. We made a dragon defense game too.

lukbebalduke 2015-08-27 22:07

Damn! I got 51601 point!
Cool art style and sound effects!
I've had a lot of fun with this game, fun 5/5 =)

diningphilosopher 2015-08-28 11:43

Another typing game! :D I had a lot of fun playing this, "Don't you dare to steal my princess, Magister Holger!". :) I like how the speed of the knights depends on the length of their name. Well done!

dracomagna 2015-08-28 15:22

Simple concept, but really addictive and well done.
Also, I liked the art style.
Good job!

shelleyl 2015-08-28 22:09

Cute graphics and nice idea! Felt really nice and polished

gmaker 2015-09-04 21:25

loved it =) goodJob!

serch 2015-09-09 23:46

I loved the music

dydx 2015-09-15 00:03

That was great! Really enjoyed the complexity of the knights' names in the later waves.

jsmars 2015-09-15 00:16

Man! Awesome game! I really love typing games for some reason. Can't believe they removed it from Crimsonland for the new steam version.
Only critique is the slow difficulty curve. Probably played for 30mins on my first try, should get harder a bit faster.
Also, online highscore is a must for a game like this! That would make me save this and come back year after year to stay in the top 10!
147.637. Wave 14.

I'm terrible at typing games, haha... but yours had a great feel and great graphics. Good job!
