The concept has quite good potential but maybe some features would be even better.Though the game is pretty fun though repetitive, the art is simple but appealing and music... well its there at least.

The idea is interesting, but it's a shame it's impossible to acually die by falling onto the spikes.
Nice game. Love the music and the graphics. The gameplay itself was also great. The levels were creative so it's a great game ;)
Very cute game! The combination of genres is executed well and the art-style is well made! The ending actually had very nice ambience and having to type "Walk" or "Run" for the hundredth time felt really worth it at that point. That being said you can't really mess up in this game, so i feel like there is some aspect of challenge missing to keep the average player going. I really enjoyed this! Good job!
This was a really cute game! A really interesting take on the theme and well done. I love the music and the little keyboard character Tap, the facial expressions were adorable. The only thing is I really wish there were shortcuts for the words as my hands got pretty tired after a bit.
I've played a few text-based platformers this dare but I like how all the movement is tied to the input and there aren't enemies moving real-time while you frantically try to type. That said, having enemies move but maybe only when you do might be neat. Great job on the audio/visual component as well!
i think this game is the first time i continuously typed the same word and felt happy about it. A beautiful game indeed. I really liked how the end is simply a continuous run towards the finish, reminds me of soo many games when the final level is just your final thing todo but not necessarly some crazy hard level ^_^ . I also love the music, it really improves the game feel A job well done indeed :D
On a side note, if you want to make this game even better, you can try adding more commands like, "flip", "attack", "pick up".. you can even make the game extra interesting by having different text inputs for different types of attacks and only one type will work against a certain enemy
That was great! At first I was sceptical about typing to move around being any fun, but I enjoyed myself and got some thorough practice spelling 'walk' :stuck_out_tongue: I did break it a few times though, by walking on air on a few levels, but rather minor and didn't impact game play.
The graphics are very cute and while you didn't make the audio, they fitted together very well. Very strong level of polish with plenty of levels to sink time into, great job! :grin:
Wow, that was really typing intensive! :-)
Really cool game, the first thumbs up though is for supporting my 32 bit Windows XP VM. Very nice!
I love your cute graphics and the matching music, really nice atmosphere, what an adorable main character :-)
One thing I did not realize in my first play through was that you need to buy the DIG command in order to get the coins that are half-way in the ground. I actually did not notice that they were any different from the floating ones, I just assumed they were picked up but after a while I saw that they were still there and only then knew what buying that DIG command would let me do.
I can go BACK and the float in the air, also I can go UP on a yellow trampoline and then RUN and WALK in the air. Is this all correct? :-)
Is it right that I cannot get everything in every level? I sometimes see coins that I cannot reach. Also in level 2 where I cannot have the DIG there is a buried coin? Is this to tease the player or am I missing something.
I like how the cosmetic gold suit is just for running through the beautiful but empty final level :-D
These were my impressions playing your game two times in a row, very cool game. Typing gets repetitive but is OK, the commands are short and easy to type so it does not get frustrating (in contrast to that one game where you had to type 'kcfp' to do a kickflip on a skateboard). Really well executed. Keep up the great work!
The game is great, it has all the potential we expect from LD entries. Love how the game give some choices in latter levels, I think this is what you need to explore more, give more choices for the player to explore more and maybe some more elements, maybe minigames, keys itens and stuff. Great work!
Great game! I really like the idea. The art is really cute. The character's expressions was a really nice touch. I would like some type of challenge, maybe you lose health if you type wrong or a limited amount of time to finish the level or just a score. Typing becomes a bit tiring after a while, I think that something like "run 3x" to run 3 times or make the character run until it cannot run anymore would help. That being said, great game! =)
Super duper awesome game imo! ^-^ The commands were nice and easy to remember, also fast to type. Pacing was great and upgrades were fun. Loved the way the player was tutorialized in-game, it turned out really effective for me. Cheers and keep up the good work! <3
