Nice typing game, I really like that the modifiers add a bit of variety to the weapon names in addition to making the weapon take longer to 'craft'

I really like the idea of mapping harder to spell equipment to more powerful equipment. There's a fun core of an idea here.
Interesting little game. Really like the background art
Nice pixel art !
The way the orders stack up felt like Tetris :) -- very challenging, and I'm a fast typist!
I have seen a few typing/wordsearch + crafting games on here this weekend (great minds... 😄). I think this could make a really cool magic/enchantment system.
I did notice in the web version that I couldn't type a hyphen, so when I got to a hyphenated word I had to stop.
@Marchmain 😱 I never got so far that i got to a hyphen. I'll check my text file. Found it "fine-tuned" 🙀 thats +6. I'll make a small change to fix this 😸
1. Cool art style! 2. The game mechanism can be further polished. Now I get bored too quickly :-p
Art style is cool. It gets harder to type
Nice to see another jammer making a typing game!
Nice! An ending of some sort would have been good.
Like the art style and concept, but not sure which two genres are being combined here
@CaptainPilot I was not so sure myself, i think its a shop, crafting, management and typing. I don't know if they qualify as genres. 🦊
Very cool pixel art! :) I wish there was more variety in the things you type/do, and perhaps some goal you're working towards, even if it's just hinted.
That was fun! Got to gold 80 and words stopped appearing. Not sure if that means I lost because the list on the right was full? :P Cool stuff for sure!
@sndr Could be you complete the game then XD I did not have time to sett an end to the game. In the current build it should never end so i think that's a bug 😢
@persjin Oooh, I beat it then. Yay! :) Don't worry about it though. My winning/end screen is also a bit dodgy. xD I had to quickly work on it on the last 50 minutes or so before the end of the compo.
Original concept (good title as well) and nice pixel art. I'd say yes, it qualifies as a combination of incompatible genres.
I had some problems with the game repeatedly not noticing characters, so with every second word or so I ran into typo problems, which was a bit frustrating as I had to force myself to type slowly to avoid this. As nobody else seems to be mentioning this it might be related to I don't know what, my system or browser maybe (Windows 7, Firefox 59 currently).
Thanks for the feedback @Shellfish-games. I noticed that bug myself, during testing. I think i know why that bug happens, but I'll wait until after the results before i work any more on the game.
Cool concept - I also noticed the missing characters (if it helps I'm running chrome on OSX).
@vfqd missing characters? You found a bug? Tell me more.
@Persijn I couldn't figure out exactly when it happened, but I think some of my keypresses were not being detected
Nice Pixel Art ! Good idea !
