Love the contrast between real time moments and ticks. Tutorial was very clear, I just suck a typing so to would be nice to have an option to slow down the game tick. Art and tiles sets were really nice and the game design overall is something you should be proud of. Thanks for stopping by my stream to have me play it. Cheers. :)
the tutorial i a lot of fun to learn from, i really like the attitude the computer trainer gives. he really sells the idea that he doesn't want to be there. the game play is quite fun. i was able to progress very though because my typing speed is quite slow. i would recommend this game to people with a WPM of over 50 word per minute. this fits the theme delay the inevitable really well because you are bound to crash the car eventually its just a matter of when. the terminal is a cool design and i like how it matches the tutorial robot's face/screen.
Really good concept. The game is fun, and can train your reaction and typing speed. Tutorial is brilliant, explains everything you need in a playful way, I like it a lot!

Cool game! I like that levels change based on how far you reach. But I make a lot of mistakes while typing, so this was very hard :D
Thanks, I hate this! Fits the theme really well. Very stressful
Hi, thanks for the stream earlier, it was fun!
I played your game and I love the concept! You don't see "programmy" games like this often and there were a lot of different neat little elements and obstacles. It felt like playing snake with an added stressor on top. I'm quite comfortable typing on my keyboard, but playing this gave me anxiety about making typos lol. I also love the dialogue and sounds. I found myself wanting to press space or right click instead of enter to progress the dialogue, but apart from that I got nothing else to comment on. Good job!
Cute entry - easy to understand but difficult... but it likely has to be :smile:
It's Souls game based on a Computer, and I enjoy it :D
Got a score of 160 :) TI'm digging the overall vibe to this!
Very interesting game mechanic - that I am very bad at. The game plays very well, the tutorial walks through the gameplay in such a way that when the game itself started I had no questions about what to do. The game looks great, the tileset is simple and communicates exactly what each tile is without any confusion. If I was better at quickly typing I suspect this is a game that would have grabbed me until I finished every level. Well done!

Nice work! The tutorial did a great job teaching the mechanics of the game and the computer character was fun. I'm not a stellar typist so I struggled a bit, but really original concept and executed quite well!
A full and healthy tutorial segment followed by compelling gameplay, well done! I was actually thinking of possibly doing something like this myself in C++, only with a bit more AI or NLP elements added on top. Have you heard of the "libvterm" project? Recently found someone who made an SFML binding for it which could be used to do some real cool stuff like this! https://github.com/Edgaru089/Terminal
Really love the idea of dynamically changing levels! The idea of typing direction is pretty funny too but stressful at the same time, hehe. Nice job on the tutorial as well, great job putting it all together so well in such a short time!
Thanks for coming to my stream! Here's a link in case you'd like to see the recording: https://youtu.be/6O1eFU0xLWM Your game starts at 34:31

I found myself doubting what is left and what is right, definitely a good sign. The lambda on the terminal was a nice touch :)

Nice game! I really liked how the levels changed around during the game. Very cool. Also, 22 levels? That's a lot! Nice job in the given time!

Hey kamel, thanks for joining the stream and sending your game! Very neat mechanic, I wonder what it'd be like with additional levels and commands? It was very hectic at some points, you can rewatch what happened here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1449607637

Fun little game, this was the high score I managed to get while streaming :D
Looks cool)
I liked the tutorial and the mechanics, the only thing I didn't like much is that those timed walls seem to require a bit more thinking than the movement speed allows, so I ended up just treating them as solid walls and avoiding them as much as possible 😅
Really great. If I had one complaint it's that the core mechanic really just boils down to moving to avoid obstacles, with the added difficulty of having to type your move instead of using WASD or whatever. It feels a bit like forced difficulty instead of something that makes sense. Like, the typing doesn't add anything except the difficulty which is a shame. I think you could improve this by introducing some delay where you have to program moves in advance, and slow it down a bit, so it's less of a fast reaction game and more a programmer/puzzle game.
Anyway that sounds like a lot of negative but generally I think it's very impressive for the compo, presentation is great, tutorial is great. Well done!

Enjoyed this game. As others have said, the timing of the walls and the speed of ticks makes it a little difficult to not just avoid them altogether. I would also say that typing the instructions, while relevant within the setting of the game, feels like difficulty for difficulty's sake. However, I love how polished the game is as well as its setting and humour.

Oof, a typing game. I found it was hard to remember to prepare a command while I was watching the movement of the character, so I would often end up typing something at the last moment.
Of course, when I did remember, sometimes the floor would change out from under me in a way that made my queued up command the wrong thing to do. Devious.
And mistyping was frustrating. B-)
The tutorial was humorous and very good at onboarding new players. Super challenging and well executed. Well done!

I love this game, thanks for sharing it with us. I actually want to know why [Gameloop Stuck](https://bluestacksdownloads.com/gameloop-stuck-at-98-loading/) at 98% and while searching for it online, I found your post.
