Interesting game, but didn't feel complete. Enjoyed myself though!
Interesting game, it fits the theme well. However the gameplay is limited and I couldn't help but think that the game would have been more fun if the words coming down formed a headline and typos were included in the final article. Overall a interesting entry.
I tweeted you! Ha! But, no, that was a really clever mechanic. I had a lot of fun with what could have been a super-simple typing game. I enjoyed the theme and the art, though I will say that I didn't get running out of power from it, but I really didn't need to. Besides the theme, everything else was pretty much 5/5, clever, fun. I enjoyed the sound and the art a great deal. Awesome job!
@geraldfingburke Thank you! I am really glad you like it :) Yes, I realized that the game progression is really slow... It takes a lot of time until it gets to harder, longer words with higher falling speed etc. And you are right it feels too easy. But keep in mind that the most of us in here is used to write a lot and fast (especially during ludum dare :D ) so the game for us is much easierthan for people who don't write on pc x hours a day. But to be honest, it might take too long anyway. But anyway, glad you like it :)
Great job! I had a lot of fun with this game. I thought that the art was very fitting and that your interpretation of the theme was clever. And the ability to post articles is also brilliant. There were two issues I found when I played the game. The first, as it has been mentioned before, is the slower game progression. The second was that I would often reattempt to type a word I made an error on, causing me to accidentally mistype the next word. However, I found myself doing that less as I played more rounds. Thanks for making this game!
Good job! It would be nice to have a web version!
Very interesting game! The workplace background sounds fit perfectly. Well done!
The art looked really nice though the text was very hard to read. Overall, the game wasn't bad though the gameplay was lacking.
Pretty game. It is simple but esthetic. These old keyboard sounds make me feel like if I was typing super quickly. x)
Wow typing game! I love it! Also I love your art style and when you drink coffee, the boss stretch his head out and look at me! HaHa this little interaction let me feel I am really the game character! Great Entry!
Fun! The joy of typing is very underrated. The things that I would like to improve is firstly the font is a bit hard to read, which is frustrating some times. And the other thing is that it was quite slow and simple. Maybe with an adaptive difficulty level the game could get harder when the player is better. Maybe adding more features would complicate things enough to increase the difficulty level.
I can't believe nobody mentioned the conjoined triangles of success.
@alobker OMG THANK YOU.... YOU BROUGHT THE HOPE BACK xD
Cool game ! Very polished, I like playing it !
Good job :)
@urbanhelsing Yes, adaptive difficulty would be very good idea, did not came to my mind so thank you for suggestion! However I still feel that would not be enough tho. There would probably need to be another gameplay element that player needs to keep in mind/react to in order to make it challenging. However, as I mentioned in comments higher, to non-coding friends this already challenging was :D
This (making things just hard enough and not too much) is so far very hard part of development for me. Hopefully getting better :D
Thanks for playing :)
Needs some work, maybe each day the words are harder or fall faster something like that. I had to purposefully type wrong just to see how the theme was implemented. Wasn't bad, I love typing games. The overall look of the game is great.
The gameplay isn't exactly original, and it seems like you forced it to fit the theme. But otherwise, everything else is pretty well done. Good job :)
Damn I was hoping to be the first person to notice the triangles of success!
Nice, polished game. Other than the already mentioned things about difficulty, I thought it was very clean and the typing felt good to do, mostly because of the sound effects, despite you saying you'd like to work on the audio more next time. If anything, for this kind of game with simple interaction, maybe some smaller particle effects or something on the letter when you type could go a long way.
@simplepotential The words are actually getting harder and falling faster every day, but it is adding up very slowly :/
@peachtreeoath Particle effects would be cool, shame on me for not thinking about that :D maybe post LD version :)
Cool game! Kept me typing for a good while xD I lik ethe graphics and the sound fits well, nice job!
@pedro-miranda Thank you :) Glad you liked it.
Nice game! The sound effects and music are awsome, and the idea seems nice too! The articles are super random and you have kept the difficulty curve between levels! This game feels completed! Well done! :smile:
