It took me forever to work out that I was supposed to type the corresponding letter. I was trying to mouse-click, or space when the letter was in the centre of the two lines first. A bit of a guide (even just above) would have really helped. The graphics are great, and it seems like a novel idea.
Interesting game, but quite tedious. Though like the idea, graphics is beautiful and sound is pleasant. :slight_smile:
The graphics are beautiful, the game itself is good, but I still got a lot of mistakes while I actually correctly typed the letter. Other than that, well done! Think the concept nicely fits in with the theme.
I love the idea of a sim job mixed with typying gameplay, it was very hard though, one time i got a game over randomly :/
Presentation is top notch and a nice idea but a bit plodding. Might have been a bit more fun having to type whole words at a time before they hit the bottom as 1 letter was like watching my Dad type haha. Love the little details though like the reflection in the mirror.
The game looks and sounds really good, and I got a few funny phrases on the computer, reminded me of those predictive tweet programs and stuff like that.
Very hard, too!
Nice entry :)
I really like your minimalistic style and design. I was glad to play and watch. What i didn't understand is why do we have boss' telephone (can we use it?) and how can we manage our "salary" (is there anything that can give us money back? Is our health permenantly gone, if we make the mistake? Thanks for your game C: P.S.: Gameplay is too slow for fast-typers (maybe it was going to be faster, sorry, if i just didn't play till this moment) P.P.S.: Sound suits your game perfectly!
Neat game, I really enjoyed the visual presentation. I struggled a bit with the timing of when to hit the button, I think it would've been good if the letters appeared earlier but fell faster so you had time to get an idea of the letter's velocity and when to click them. I really liked how the typos also showed up in the email, something I missed my first couple of deaths. Good stuff!
Ah this is what one finger typing feels like! :D Love the visuals, sound and style! It was a bit hard to find meaning in the mails - I would love to have some more 'reward' on success. :) Failed letters probably also should have a sound - I initially did not see my salary go down, since I was focused on the letters.
More interaction with the surrounds would be cool! (type quick messages, then handle faxes, then a phonecall, etc)
Very nice visually! And the gameplay is tight as well! I feel that it would be a nice game to learn how to type with some adaptations.
My only gripe is that sometimes it was difficult to see the key due to reflection on the screen. But all in all, very good job!
Keep up the good work!
Pretty solid entry! The connection to the theme is a bit weak in my opinion, but so is my entry to be honest. But technically, the theme is optional anyway! I do really like the music though, it has a quirky sound to it that works with the unusual feeling of the game.
