The controls seem a little clunky. I liked how crazy it got, but because of the controls and the speed of the bullets, it got frustrating.

Failure hurts mostly because text can't be skipped! It's also difficult to understand spatially where the targets are and they seem to be invulnerable when they zoom in / get closer? Combined with the 'single bullet at time' mechanism, it's quickly frustrating.

Amusing idea though and functional execution.

The idea and game are cool, to shoot those that seem to be invulnerable, you have to shoot them with right click, apparently.

Really unique concept! I really enjoyed the explosions. Kinda makes me want to hunt for more words to destroy.

The first time I played I got to the point when the whole screen is flickering and the word "device" is floating all over the place, and I didn't really know what to do next. But after seeing your protip I moved along.
Really good job.

Shooting was really difficult for me. And the fact that the words sometimes moves back and forward made it impossible to hit the target. On the plus side the story was well written, Nice job with the implementation of the theme.

Interesting... game.

djfariel 2016-08-30 02:55

I wasn't sure what to do once the screen went crazy. was enjoying the text based play though. Nice entry!

rugbugredfern 2016-08-30 03:22

It's really hard to hit the text with the bits. Interesting concept, tho.

peachtreeoath 2016-08-30 03:43

Interesting idea. Each question had me wondering what new mechanics could be coming next. That's a good thing!

I kinda like it. It brings me back to my DOS days

Very unusual and interesting game! I like how you communicate with the players, like we were talking to each other irl =)

But I almost failed in getting trough the first time you need to shoot. It's hard to aim since the symbols you shooting are 3D but the words are 2D.

At start, i thought "meh", then "text interaction with IA ? nice", "meh, it's really driven" and then "game's break it's own rules ! That's a nice surprise".
But in the end, i stayed stuck at firing at device but i couldn't see any progression by doing it.I felt stuck.

seveca95 2016-08-30 12:44

It's hard to hit the words. I like the twist. Nice game mate :)

mateus-culpo 2016-08-30 15:36

The idea of the game is very cool,
But I would find it better if the shot was in 2d

gonutz 2016-08-30 20:04

I quit at the point where you shoot the words. When you have an orthographic projection and you do not know how far away something is. This means I cannot know how far away the text is and also where in 3D space my laser beam is. This way I cannot make out the right time to shoot.

corinator 2016-08-30 21:29

Interesting concept, however shooting in 3D at 2D objects doesn't allow you to see where they are, making it quite frustrating. Text should appear faster and be skippable. however, still a fun game.

gordun 2016-08-31 09:02

Quicker text is the only thing it lacks, i like the rest of the assets though

cubotrox_toni 2016-08-31 10:30

Yeah! Texts faster and it's hard to shot. The rest is perfect

mordokay 2016-08-31 11:21

Loved the idea and loved the gameplay. You lose the sense of depth a bit soshooting becomes hard. Still managed to have a decent accuracy. The story is great (It could very well be a movie with a litle more polish :))
Overall a very good entry to LD36!

ccglp 2016-08-31 12:21

Thank you all for the comments. I would upload a little update with a few english grammar corrections and maybe skippable text, because all the complains are about that :/. Can't do much about the 3D shooting, was a part of the original game idea that doesn't end well it seems :(

wilsk 2016-09-01 08:26

Interesting. I like terminal based games and this was kind of a... umm.... terminal FPS???

bentglasstube 2016-09-01 08:56

I liked the music but the game was kind of uninteresting. I couldn't really follow the story at all.

purplepanda 2016-09-01 09:33

It's an interesting idea, but it was quite difficult to hit the text when you can't work out how far away it is.

thenanox 2016-09-04 11:17

melody and inputs are cool. shoot is complicated :S

casevse 2016-09-04 13:36

Interesting idea and good music. Los textos en español son tela xD. Good work!

sararycow 2016-09-05 01:54

Nice concept and narrative script, aside this I have to refer to the other comments say about the imprecise shoot control, as well as what I said you in anait.

There is some potential here :).

saucygames 2016-09-06 02:14

Cool idea, i feel it this could benefit with the accurate shooting stated above from others and with a time limit to answer questions too!

jupiter_hadley 2016-09-06 19:29

Very interesting game. I included it in my compilation video series of Ludum Dare 36, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/lT_5Gj1NQIo
