I really enjoyed this game, I played it a few times!

rob-white 2018-08-13 12:26

I really liked the background music for this! I would have preferred for the input to be bound to WASD instead of the arrow keys - because I'm not as used to using that part of my keyboard - but that did add to the challenge and maybe it would be too easy otherwise. Good job!

hakro 2018-08-13 12:32

Thanks for the feedback :) @rob-white the music is what took much time to make, since I'm a newbie. Really glad you like it. The problem is, my keyboard is AZERTY, and it's challenging for me to play other people's game using WASD. So it's simpler to just use the arrow keys.

krapht 2018-08-13 12:33

cute little game. Might be improved by being a typing game then just arrow keys.

hakro 2018-08-13 12:43

Thanks @krapht , that crossed my mind, but didn't have time to implement it.

hakro 2018-08-13 13:08

:clap: :) Thank you for your feedback. @rustycrow

Very cute :) I wish there were more than arrows to make it a bit more challenging, the text is funny though, great job!

paden-shorey 2018-08-13 13:35

Just some notes while playing: - I thought I could use wasd but lost (then realized I had to use the arrow keys) - the sound for missing a key is painful to listen to - it's very easy to wain - the sound effect for getting a correct arrow doesn't get to finish playing if you're too fast - music is awesome

Good entry. Feels complete and fills the theme. The music and the different faces of Teddy are a nice detail. If you want to continue the developing, a preview of the next arrows would be useful to get a faster pace, and a progressive difficulty with the black hole pressure would be nice too.

Good job!

hakro 2018-08-13 13:44

Thank you all for the invaluable feedback. There is indeed many improvements to be made, now that there is no time constraints :).

Cheers to y'all

I liked this! Simple but fun.

ghen 2018-08-13 13:48

neat game !, the gameplay itself simple, but also frustating at time, while its fast paced but it feels slow because of the delay between when the new button appear and when the reaction time kick in, or its probably me the one who slow lol, music also very nice, well done !

swini 2018-08-13 14:17

Good typing exercise. Simple but good and fun to play. I like teddy. He is cuteXD Solid game!

htmichael 2018-08-13 14:52

Liked it! Sound track was cool aw well

devio 2018-08-13 15:08

Very basic, but I think that's why I like it, It doesn't try to do more than it can handle and gets the point across well. Not much sound in the game but not really needed. I think the black hole needs to be more apparent though! Well done!

erendelous 2018-08-13 15:11

Nice game! Really simple gameplay, but pretty fun to play:)

andy-d 2018-08-13 15:57

It's quite a simple game and easy to win - like others have said, it might be nice to have more keys to type (or words). The graphics, sound and music are all superb! :thumbsup:

nobleboy 2018-08-13 16:12

Feels like the graphics go to waste when you're just staring at the circle, but the music is great.

hakro 2018-08-13 16:17

I agree with you @nobleboy. I wasn't able to balance it out in time. Thank you for the feedback.

whismirk 2018-08-13 16:20

Well, the art syle is great, so is the music, and Teddy's dialogue is really funny... however, I find the game to be way too easy. I think the pressure should be increased faster and mistakes should be more punishing to add more tension and challenge ! Also, it's a shame that the black hole is only visible if the pressure is high enough, because I did not even see it in my first playthrough. Nonetheless, it's still a fun game, good job !

trozen 2018-08-13 16:54

I really liked the music here.

It may have helped to color code the arrows a little- I feel I could read and react quicker to a color.

quorusa 2018-08-14 01:45

I love it !

The style music is very cool with Teddy ! Very fum game. :)

dunin 2018-08-14 08:38

Simple game, but finish, and it's already great for a first LD.

And I like the music and the planets' look...

fussenkuh 2018-08-14 11:39

Poor Teddy... no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't save him from the black hole :( The game is actually more compelling (and difficult) than I had initially thought. The simple concept of hitting those arrows worked quite well. The only problem I had was that I wanted to read Teddy's talk bubble while playing, but, I didn't dare take my eyes off the arrows. Also, I think I'm going to have your music stuck in my head all day now. Great job!

andreadbx 2018-08-14 12:29

Cute game, personally, i would have liked some sorts of next arrow indicator like rythm games of some sort

limered 2018-08-14 12:52

I had a very hard time to hit the correct arrows. We had a similar idea. Overall a nicely made game.

bismark 2018-08-14 13:33

Excellent game ... but i have some difficulties to stop to play it ?! ;-)

steffanie 2018-08-14 15:22

Tough to keep up with! I had fun and enjoyed playing a lot!

Super impressive audio for a first timer! I loved the vibe it came off and the theme was very clear. Good work!

keppu 2018-08-16 08:49

Congratz on getting game made during compo!

I can see some "Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell" influence over the graphical style which is nice. Game fits the theme well. Overall there is not much gameplay, but what little there is it does well.

ursagames 2018-08-17 12:05

Now that Keppu mentioned it, the art style does remind me of “Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell." I enjoyed the clean aesthetic! I found it pretty easy myself, but I used to play a lot of DDR style games on my keyboard back in the day. So the difficulty was probably good. Thanks for sharing the game with my stream!

vodzik 2018-08-20 19:45

Nice simple game. I think that difficile is well balanced. It was hard to focus on this, and dont do mistakes. I physically feel pressure in my head was rising :P Good work!

hakro 2018-08-28 16:34

@keppu , Kurzgezagt definitely was an inspiration for the whole game :) That channel is awesome.

@ursagames , thanks for reviewing my game in your stream. It's interesting to see someone try to understand and play your game in real time :)
