I really liked it!
The concept is really cool, and the typing aspect makes even just firing feel interesting. One thing I would have liked to see changed is a slightly higher starting movement speed. It makes the start of the game feel a little bit sluggish.
I love the typing avatar in the corner, too!
Great work!
Great presentation with the sounds and art. Love the gameplay, it's innovative while still being fun.

Thank you for a web build (tired of downloading exe files). Very innovative approach, love it! :slight_smile:
This was all in all very well made, but the polish was a bit lacking in the gameplay direction department as the enemies were firing a bit too fast for me to have time to get into the battle. Definitely one of the most well executed in the means of how the theme is incorporated into the game.

Amazing concept!
I enjoyed the overall idea of type em up, although I think the game has a very impactful problem with the input system:
- I tried several times to press [escape] expecting the command console to clear ( instead of that the game was set back to windowed mode and I had my run fucked up haha)
- [Backspace] pressed was not working as I wish it worked, a lot of times it cleared more than one letter.
- If I decide to [Backspace] the entire line, the first character that I type after that will vanish.
Other than the problem with the input, the game was awesome! I had a really great time playing it, everything was well polished, great setting and sound effects. The diversity of enemy types was also very great!
Keep up the good work!
I've got a very familiar idea(use typing to control a robot) during the jam, though I finally turned to another one. So excited to see somebody made it!!! I enjoyed it so much

Was there supposed to be sound? I didn't have any, and that makes me sad, because the rest of the game was so well done and polished that i just know the music would've been amazing too!
Anyway, except for the lack of sound (which deprives the game of a loot of moodiness) it was absolutely stellar (haha, see what i did there?). One of the most innovative takes on the theme i've seen so far. The cute pixel art graphic fit well together and created a good overall feel. Good job!
Only complaint is that the game readily deleted multiple characters at once when I wanted a single backspace. Couldn't hear the sound but was fun to play
