Pretty interesting idea, I liked it :)

daniel-foutz 2022-04-04 13:31

This is excellent. The core idea is so smart and using the typing mechanic to tell a story and then put the player in the same position as a game dev who can't stop polishing is just brilliant. Wonderful work. This is a real piece of art.

Wow what a brilliant idea to use typing! Also, I think it's pretty incredible that you also managed to make the tutorial fun! Really great submission, I love it!

Very interesting idea, looks really cool, took me a bit to long to notice which text to actually type haha!

sita 2022-04-04 15:27

Looove the tutorial. A nice game idea with pretty graphics.

Awesome job! The tutorial was really clever and the core mechanic is super satisfying. Trying to tell some form of story through a simple mechanic is always a really cool thing and I could see how you could expand on this formula in lots of really cool ways.

Realy greate game. Great art style and very clean!

diccuric-sigeon 2022-04-04 15:42

So hard tutorial :D

devzhrssh 2022-04-04 15:43

I love it! The tutorial was great. Loved the graphics and audio. Overall really cool! Some words repeat like 3-5 times tho.

I love typing games and almost did one myself. Good mechanic that I wasn't expecting when I first loaded it. Love how you did the tutorial and forced it. Dashes kept tripping me up but I played a good long while. Perhaps some more word variety would be good. Overall nice job

The juiciest of juicy game juice right here. Super polished, perfectly scoped. I could learn a thing or two from this one.

Well done!

dustya29 2022-04-04 15:57

Neat! so this is how a game is made.

karin-g 2022-04-04 16:08

This was amazing! I do not think I have seen something like this before and it is really fun! Really good job :)

kewdev 2022-04-04 16:59

A really solid entry. Everything in it is good, it left me wanting more of it. Great job!

ebbdrop 2022-04-04 18:08

The sound effects are perfect, nice game

kamikaziuk 2022-04-04 19:06

Creative game!

I'm a big fan of typing games, so this was lovely.

Some feedback though: A system that keeps words from repeating too soon should be in place, as you have relatively little possible words. The typing sound was quite hard on the ears for me, a little lower pitched and it would have been perfect for great feedback on typing.

GJ!

Glad to find a typing game. I love it! Your onboarding is really on point!

ossi 2022-04-05 03:13

First off, THE TUTORIAL WAS SO GOOD! The ball falling down to exit the tutorial blew my mind LOL!

The amount of polish and juice this game has is amazing! You really made every aspect of typing words feel good, and there is something so satisfying about that bouncing ball every single time you hit enter. That was an incredible typing experience! Great work!

yulotomorrow 2022-04-05 05:04

Very interesting idea! The game is clean and well polished, good job!

joshua-steward 2022-04-05 07:07

super fun idea!

nicmagnier 2022-04-05 09:29

The feedback on everything is super satisfying. From the sound effect for the typing, the ball hitting the text field, that particle effects. It feels so good.

yellowkamel 2022-04-05 11:54

Very, very cool. The amount of polish in sound and animation is incredible and really sells the whole game!

lucy-lu 2022-04-05 14:37

I like this game very much. It is cute, it is simple... but the tutorial got me a bit confused... I typed 7 times "Me" just to figure out the ball isn't displaying the words I need to type. In my opinion it would be nice to point out more which text needs to be typed. :v:

chairshot-games 2022-04-06 00:37

Great art and sound effects. The tutorial was clever

fear-games 2022-04-06 13:38

Great concept, I did get a little but frustrated with the tutorial as i tried typing Me and Help but I didnt realize you needed the colon on the end. Once i got past that I really enjoyed it

zitao-ye 2022-04-06 15:49

Really a typical Gao ming style! juicy feedback, nice gameplay with interesting setting!Enjoy the typing experience!

rxbbie 2022-04-07 03:10

Very cool tutorial! Cute little typing game! Simple, but effective visuals. Satisfying effects and sound! Good work!

bradur 2022-04-07 14:09

Nice polish on the sounds and visuals.

mikado 2022-04-07 17:14

Cool game! A simple idea that was well-executed. Sound effects are REALLY good, and there's some nice feedback, both graphically and audio. Reminds me of the [TypeRacer](https://play.typeracer.com/) web game. Maybe you took inspiration from it? I also like the fact that the words that come up aren't random, and have a meaning. Anyways, really good job, especially considering you submitted it for the compo!

forgin-bits 2022-04-08 12:13

Awesome idea to have your narration/little story through the words you type. Very clean execution and amazing effect when the ball bounces. Along with Estrella, my favorite typing game for this jam. Well done.

Hi there! I tried out your game on my stream after seeing it on the LD feed!

If you’d like to rewatch the playthrough, you can find it here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1450188475?t=0h50m31s

Good luck on your ratings, see you next LD! :D

Really intense gameplay expereince! this is a excellent typing-learning game and it is well polished in its small scope. I did not realize that I could only type lower case letter as a result, which is a little tricky in terms of design since it also require players to type the correct punctuation marks, which takes more than 1 key press. But overall it is an amazing entry!

sam-bigos 2022-04-09 10:26

Ok, I feel dumb because I kept trying to type Me instead of Help: during the tutorial before figuring it out. That's on me though. I like everything about this. I only wish there was some sort of high score or it there was more about it. I think you could expand this into some sort of typing/learn to type game. Very polished and nice feeling. Good job!

shortcreative 2022-04-10 20:43

Fun and creative! Typing is the only thing I can do at not-a-snail's-pace, so I was drawn to this one. The tutorial was actually kind of brilliant! Thought it could have ramped up to even more challenging toward the end. The audio was satisfying, too. Nice!

aka-black-dog 2022-04-15 09:41

really polished and fun typing game, the audio was a great part of the experience
