Good game! I had fun :smiley:

I liked this. Nice graphics, and the typing game itself is basic but fun. Well done!

Nice concept

I really like this game! Super cool!! :)

Great concept ! It remember me the game "moon type".

The way to start the game (typing "play") is very clever, and it help the player to get what it have to do. Make the words rotating increase the difficulty, so it's cool. The dictionnary fit well the theme.

You should add GUI to show the current score and also make word destructions more juicy, it will help the player to feel like a very powerful hacker.

Btw, the robots dialogs make me laught.

Good job.

really fun game, i really like the attention you put into details (vfx when you finish a word, robot dialog, hacker cam...) i was disapppointed i had to click continue and couldn't start the game by typing !

This was pretty fun. Always down for a Typing of the Dead style game. One thing is it felt a bit too easy, I got a couple minutes in and started to get bored. Could have scaled up faster, or maybe shown how many I had to complete before increasing in difficulty, or even simply a difficulty slider. Otherwise solid idea and execution.

The only hard time I had playing was to understand some words because of the font you used. Other than that, had fun and actually felt challenging some times. Good twist on the theme :)

Fun game with a neat theme! The gibberish word really threw me off, that was evil!

Nice game! The robot was amusing as were a couple of typing suggestions. It would be nice to see some measure of progress, i.e. score counter? I wasn't sure if I was doing well or only just holding the hacker off. Maybe that's what the hacker cam was for but it's mood never really changed, maybe i didn't get far enough.

I liked the control typping the words, great idea!

The music get annoying after some time! :sweat_smile:

Maybe if u reduce a bit the difficult and change the topic of the words, it could be a nice educational game, for teaching children to write! :smile:

The robot would be a nice pet for children!

A well done typing game with a cool theme. I like!

joeshanahan 2020-04-25 21:33

It made me feel smart because I knew what all the technobabble actually meant :sweat_smile:

75 / 4:01

At first the phrases come too slow, then it's suddenly too fast. A bit flattening of the curve would be better.

I usually like typing games (as I'm a fast touch-typer), but this was simply too random.

Not saying it wasn't fun tho :smile:

It'd be even better if it had a bit of change in the gameplay. Not just simply typing this out, but something else to happen on the screen, some other type of typing puzzle... such as a short quick burst of single letter items or syllables... those things. something to make it spicier.

But in any case, nice job.

It's a typing game. What can I say? It's an interesting concept for a typing game, but it feels like I'm back in computer class.

lucecyl 2020-04-25 23:12

Nice game, I really liked your interpretation of the theme!

zillix 2020-04-26 01:18

Really fun typing game! The vaporwave style is a great fit, and I loved typing 'play' to start the game.

red-ash 2020-04-26 09:24

Very well polished game, well done in making this gameplay fun and particularly relevant, since you fight against a hacker.

armani03k 2020-04-29 04:33

awesome game! I love the vaporwave vibe going.

dane-tesla 2020-04-29 13:26

nice little game! i enjoyed typing words and typing "play" at the beginning was a great idea. I think that in-game graphic was too clean for a mood the menu was suggesting (retro/vaporwave), it could be a bit more chaotic. but otherwise, good job!

stephenwhoskins 2020-05-05 01:19

This was a really fun game. I can't believe I found enjoyment out of typing words on my keyboard before time runs out. Excellent job. I gave it 5s across the board.

54 counter attacks for 3:30.. (I played in AZERTY) :<

Well, nice game! Typing games is a favorite of mine. So to me it's a great take on the theme.^^

The graphics are fun and pretty nice and the robot is kinda cute. I like the particles you made for his reactor.

The words you chose are correct, nice references (all your base are belong to us, ..) even if I've been rickrolled :p. Anyway, maybe increasing the speed a bit more quickly would add a bit to the pacing, it is starting a bit too slow and the speed up is pretty much instant.^^' A bit more feedback when you complete a word could add to the awesome effect, like a zap visual effect.

Controls are correct and I didn't notice any bug. I would gladly play a v2 if you make one! :)

Great job! o/
