Good game! Idea is pretty innovative, so good work overall!

gyfis 2015-12-14 09:30

Fun mechanic! It grows quite stale, though

Good idea, just not so fun for me, but i like your concept! :)

manabreak 2015-12-14 09:33

An original idea! Took me a while to understand what's going on, though. :p Oh, and the leftmost and the rightmost buttons get cut (are not visible on the screen), don't know why that happens.

Awesome job on submitting your first LD entry! It looks pretty decent as well and it runs without trouble.

Having more buttons than just the two you're controlling is a clever take on the subject. Alas the gameplay isn't that engaging to really keep it up for very long. But for people who are into beating highscores, this might scratch that itch for them :)

There could have been a little more audio and the audio that is there could be a little louder. Maybe you can focus on that subject the next time!

Guess which button I kept hitting once I'd put my whole code in? It wasn't enter :D

Nice idea.

Good idea. text kinda hard to read though.

Interesting concept, but maybe not terribly fun. Doing captchas is annoying in general! The text is also impossible to read.

Nice work on the actual game coding though!

Very innovative! But it was very hard to read the text on the screen.

Cool game and cool idea! Only the movement is not so comfortable but its ok.

nunesbarbosa 2015-12-14 11:49

Very nice.. A bit repetitive though

lol my antivirus doesn't want to run games made in Unity, gj tho

reccy 2015-12-16 17:12

Cool game, I really like the sudden difficulty spike :P

publicidadeba 2015-12-17 10:18

Innovative concept and it has the right mood.

rogod 2015-12-17 10:20

Nice idea but, it didn't fit on 1600x900 properly (so I couldn't see the far left key) and it had no escape-to-close. (I really hate having to close unity projects with alt+f4, it feels so sloppy)
Also some kind of safe-zone would have been nice so I don't end up typing random keys trying to find a letter.

retraffic 2015-12-17 10:22

Very interesting mechanic. The movement could feel smoother, maybe controlled by Mouse? Graphics are also well done!

yinyin 2015-12-17 10:23

Bright green text on a bright grey screen was a rather bad contrast.

While I get that having all control buttons on the right is what created most of the difficulty I think putting either delete or reset on the left would benefit the game (you would still be able to go too far or too short for hitting enter).

Thanks all for the responses so far. I will be trying to fix the named problems the next time. I am also working on an mobile version of this (it is working, but needs a lot of work so it feels smooth, and thank to all your responses, I know what I can improve on) :)

srakowski 2015-12-18 00:57

The concept here was really cool. Getting the thing positioned wasn't very smooth. Need some dampening or something. Otherwise, good idea and well done!

rjhelms 2015-12-18 03:01

I really like the idea of using two buttons to press more buttons. This is for sure more fun than filling out real CAPTCHAs - it feels like I'm playing as a robot someone built in a hare-brained scheme to get around them.
