Good game and made with your own game engine as well. Its a nice idea its also makes a change that there is no endgame, sometimes you want to play a low stress game. The graphics are nice and retro kinda like the spectrum.

Ha ha! Why did you even think of this?! It's brilliant! How many WPM can you do? I'm up to 1.

I wanted to write SUPER! ... But when I was almost done with UPER! a del.line enemy erased the entire line ... x))) I saw the game in the flood of the event, I was really surprised by the game, and that is a really good idea ! Obviously that is not THE game, because there are any goal, and that is just characters, but that is quite fun ^^

Congrats and keep coding :)

LOL. This is so great. Good job. Certainly one of the more unique things I've seen this jam. :)

While presented as an irreverant lo-fi mashup game/editor, PLATYPAD is clearly the artist's critique on the dichotomy of entertainment and productivity software. Can a game be used to be productive, and can you enjoy using productivity software? While the game does not directly answer the question, it prompts the user to consider such issues through suggestive imagery, challenging gameplay and forcing the player to define their own goals. Truly this is art

Very funny! And difficult as hell. It reminds me of file managers that are also first-person shooters ("file management that hurts!") http://ingles.homeunix.net/software/fpfm/index.html

Wow! This is so so cool. One of the most memorable games I've played. Great concept and presented perfectly, with the website theme and the text copyable to the side and stuff. I think it deserves a lot of ratings; you should rate a bunch more games!
