@zzr fixed it
Yes, first exe link is broken. Downloaded with the source code, but I don't have winrar
@bitjester-media first link is fixed, no need for winrar
A little confusing in the start, but overall very nice game with good innovation.
Interesting concept. Extra hard on non QWERTY keyboard, the game uses characters not physical positions. It would be nice to restart the game without having to close and re-open it. I like the game over sound, it sounds sad but funny sad.

It took me a while to understand how the game work, the idea is great but maybe a bit too hard from my point of view (but I guess I should know my keyboard better...)
Impressive concept. It is hard for me but I still feel the idea is interesting. Good job!
It's a nice (and quite hard) game, but a little tutorial would be appreciated
Hard to grasp at first but after some time it got a grasp on the game, nice seeing a tkinter game! I've tried python+tkinter before (years ago) and never realized you could create games like this with it! Great job!
Hey, a better tutorial would be appreciated, I didn't quite get the controls at first and prompt messages weren't helpful. Also, is there any way to restart it or quit it? When I lose it, pressing escape just causes a sound :) Good luck in the jam!
@outstar thanks for your feedback. There were a lot of comments about controls not being clear, but when you open the game it says on the bottom in yellow letters how to play; can you elaborate on what isn't clear about those instructions. Also in description it says `Border around the key will be created on the side in which the arrow is pointing.` With regards to resetting sorry time ran out before i could add that.
I love that the game feels and sounds like an old DOS game. At first I got very confused until I payed extra attention to the screen, and to my surprise, the map IS keyboard!
This is a really interesting concept and it is unlike anything I've seen before so I believe some fleshing out could probably lead to something really cool.
If I had anything to suggest you to improve is to give an indication on the map about where the keys would be. Most of the time I ended up trying to calculate which key was related to the wall I wanted to create, but with a fast ball moving around it becomes kind of hard.
Overall this is a great concept and I would tell you to improve on it. Congrats!
Here's a small gift:

**[Edit]** Hey, by the way... I saw you rated my game before I had the chance to edit the page. I would appreciate it if you went back to it and gave it a proper review if possible. Sorry for the hassle.
Good concept, with a little work could be a great game.
