Yes! EAT ALL THE THINGS THAT ARE STUPID ENOUGH TO FLY CLOSE!
Enjoyed Mavis Beacon back in the day and I really enjoyed this even though I found it a bit hard! I found in most levels that I was left with one mouth at the end which actually seemed to help. The drum loop is annoying to say the least and I feel is maybe even a bit too hifi for the Atari style visuals?
Overall though great job! :)
I love typing games. 😁 This was a nice new twist to them all. Would love to see a more polished version, especially if it would teach some touch typing as well. Well done! 👍
Pretty awesome concept! I really enjoyed it. The difficulty is perfect, with the two letter words at the beginning followed by harder ones.
Awesome game, man! (or woman) My only complaint is with the sound. The "beep" sound can get a bit annoying, I reccomend making it a type-writer?
Great game! This was a lot of fun to play and definitely stressful when the waves seemed to never end. Great work!
This was tense! Weird style and I like it, the plant looks cool and alien like, and it really stressed my typing :P
I almost always got down to one trap left and just typed the same word over and over, otherwise I guess my typing just isn't good enough. I think it was a bit frustrating that you couldn't swap from one word to another, as when watching the screen, it was difficult to look back up at the 'current' word. Would have been easier to keep track of if the game could recognise you swapped to a new word and start tracking that instead.
Nice job!
I love the game! It's a very innovative take on the typing type games, I am very impressed. It was a bit too difficult for me but maybe I'm just bad at typing. Well done :thumbsup:
@ciaranw thanks, I also end up with one mouth left desperately fending off the end of the wave... About swapping words, that's a great idea, I'll have a look once the jam is over! I think there's a lot going on onscreen sometimes and it's quite hard to keep track of which word you're halfway through, definitely.
@sheepdog123 thanks for the feedback! "put more effort into sound" is definitely something I'm taking away from this jam, a typewriter noise is a great idea but more generally I think there's some great sound work out there from playing people's games, and a lot of cool tools out there for working with it that I've not used before
Fun little game, would be super fun if it had better graphics but hey, we are programmers not artists
Ha, this was really cool. I like games that are different like this, nice job.
To bad I can't type without looking at my fingers :sweat_smile: super hard but fun!
Really cool idea!
Fun idea and nice gameplay! I found it super hard after the first level, but that is probably just because of my crappy typing skills =). Slightly weak on the theme, though. I would have fit perfectly in the "combine two incompatible gengres" jam (LD41).
It s a fun idea, but i found only keeping one mouth and using only that and its word was an imba solution. Maybe that could get mixed up or otherwise balanced to keep the game entertaining.
Nice game
Really nice concept, although i think that game would benefit from some mechanic that would force the player to use more than one mouth all level. I found myself with my fingers over specific keys for one word only on harder levels. Had good time with this, good job!
Great game. But like @ palmek said. You end up just using one mouth to catch them all.
Other than that great work :thumbsup:
