Hey! your submission is missing UnityPlayer.dll maybe you should build it again... Good luck!

petitpois 2018-04-23 22:03

Thanks @daniel-rincon for that I have updated the file and I have uploaded a web version to play in the browser. :smiley:

Nice game! I like the lava at the end of the keyboard. Not an easy game I will say, but overall, fun!

This game is kind of hard, but I'm not a proper typist so that's probably my issue (my son's high 18 words). Perhaps I should play this as a daily practice regimen. In any case, I like the combined typing/jumping mechanics.

I like this game a lot, but it is pretty frustrating, especially when you have to type really long words in such a short amount of time. Other than that, a really cute game!

Cool Retro style game. I love it. Its fun to play

This was rad! The music and art are equally awesome. Great job!

petitpois 2018-04-24 21:36

thanks for playing 😀

Good job! very simple and fun

Very interesting idea. I love the graphics and the idea. The sounddesign is nice and it has a certain "typing of the dead" level of ridiculousness to it. The only thing that kind of bothered me a bit was the way I sometimes had (or at least felt that I had to) time my word entries correct so I would barely make another jump above an obstacle. Still enjoyed the game :)

crabman 2018-04-24 23:06

Very nice! I find it weirdly difficult to brace myself and wait to execute the jump with the final letter, but it's fun :D

hhsaez 2018-04-24 23:50

I really enjoyed this game. I usually ended up typing most of a word and leaving the final letter to actually jump the next obstacle, although in some situations the word was too long and several obstacles were too close. Maybe it needs a bit more balance. But then again, great idea! It's really fun Good work!

Very cool, I just hope I won't get the habit of typing every word without the last letter! I did not understood why Nita tried some backflips sometimes because it made me loose every time :(

Also, I would have liked it better if you could just stack jumps and use them when wanted because if a long word come between two close obstacles, well, that was near impossible (and i'm a fast typer). Or maybe juste make words spawn closer so we can fly :D

Anyway, good job!

Idea is very cool, congratz :)

Maybe the colliders could be a little smaller, I easily get frustrated when in the middle of the jump I collide with a barrell or other thing xD

Without that, very cool, I like that you have to do both things to not die. (Jumping and not letting words pass)

jaime-paz-lopes 2018-04-25 18:30

cool game. my typing speed is low, so i died a lot, but it was fun trying to go further and get a better time

hopgames 2018-04-25 19:03

I am really using this to increase my typing speed rather than those boring sentence on websites. one of really good games I found in this ludum dare.

As others have said, timing my jumps got pretty frustrating with the taller (and sometimes wider) obstacles.

The one time I actually got coins, I think I hit a gray wall I didn't realize was an obstacle.

Not sure if there's an upgrade system in place; my coins didn't carry over between runs and I wasn't enjoying it enough to attempt a substantiually longer run.

That said, this is one of the best incompatibilities I've seen so far :)

petitpois 2018-04-26 06:44

I didn't get a chance to add a shop for buying items, I was meant to change the colliders on some of the objects but I obviously missed a few. Thanks for the feedaback

gamesplusjames 2018-04-26 13:13

That was fun! It was hard to time completing words with jumps at first but then i realised you could save typing the last letter until you got near a jump :) I liked the music and the whole style of the game in general was pretty rad :) Nice work! :D

Neat game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 41 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WI6TXc0bclc
