@watcher Sorry, can you check now?
The link to itch.io is not working
@shyguyberlin It got fixed
Cool mechanics. But feel little bit confused about I dont see new objects while typing.
Very fun game! The typing mechanic looks really awesome in the game and it adjust nicely to the increasing difficulty, nice job!
Aight, the idea is pretty cool, I wish there was a bit more commands but oh well, jam :) Music is a bit repetitive, but thats really a minor thing, Artstyle is on point, suits the game really well. Overall great experience, I liked this game quite a bit, keep it up!
I enjoyed it. I think with some expansion it's definitely one I could sink some time into. More threats and more defense types etc. Also I kept pressing the up arrow to try and get my last command because my brain thought I was on an actual terminal. The interface had a nostalgic feel from the old dos titles.
I love this, you've done a lovely job with the art and audio. Not to mention the screenshake when you shoot a laser :P I enjoy the way the keyboard is used, combined with impending missiles and ships it's surprisingly effective at causing an exciting panicked experience! I'd love to see more content, this could work really well as a mobile game. As a fun jam game though it's basically perfect :)
Nice typing game. Glad to know that earth defense is in the hands of a MS-DOS prompt
realy good typing game! )
The game looks very interesting could you add an WebGl version of it?
Haha this looks like the ancient MasterType game from 1982 for the Atari 8 bit computers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54RjLV_OD_U&t=55
Starts off a bit slow but as multiple big ships start coming at once it gets very hectic and fun especially if you start making typos and struggle to recover. Love the visuals and how the music ramps up.
I felt like it needs more complexity. I got to wave 10 before quitting and never felt like I had any hint of a challenge. If I typo'd a word I'd maybe take a bit of damage but I could just spam heal and thus no consequences.
If the game added another couple meters like oxygen that drained at varying rates or maybe introduced resources like ammo and a RELOAD command that could get the panic rising which leads to more fun gameplay, but as it is I found it too easy.
Nice graphics and polish, reasonably good audio, and a very neat idea that perhaps needed more content to get interesting.
