I like it a lot, real finger twister ! The overall Art and Music adds a nice surreal touch to the game, well done.

I think this game can be used to train fingers. Loved gameplay so much. Also visuals are pretty. Overall i liked it, it was fun

lumous 2022-04-05 08:24

Perfect, its very nice =) Good idea

rowlna 2022-04-05 08:27

very very fun!!! this game is highly replayable and quirky (if you use laptop you might have a bad time but it works very well in concept) i would say this is easily a top 10 game in my book hihgscore.png

creative idea! some keys are not working but very well done with the leaderboard

albertnez 2022-04-05 08:32

The idea is simple, but the game ended up being way more fun that I expected. Those mechanics are really nice and keep you hooked! The game is very polished overall and looks great, congratulations!

Really creative and polished game! :D The key color feedback for what to hold and let go worked really well and the score board gave it a lot of replay value. :)

This game feels like playing QWOP, great job! One of my fav for sure.

I BEAT ELYSIA!

I cannot think of a single thing that I would like to see different in this game. Great work!

Good but Not as good as blant 🤣 😂 😅

This was a very nice game, it felt like Twister for your fingers, because different from other typing games it's not so much about raw writing but, but about figuring out a way under time pressure how to press awkward key combinations.

Good job!

The game looks and sounds fantastic. The art style, music, voice over. Everything is so great and polished and that in this little amount of time. It was finger twisting and mind bending. Holding down the wrong keys, because I think I'm holding the right one but it's one beside. Fun. I encountered the know issues with the keyboard, but it wasn't a huge issue. If it helps, I was using the German (Qwertz) Layout on a M1 MacBook Air. But it really wasn't a huge deal and didn't bother much. It also doesn't fall under consideration for the ratings, I just pretend everything worked fine. I mean, it did for the most part so yeah. Good game

It's like Twiste with fingers! I love the Idea!! But I ran into the keyboard problem thingy where no more keys we're recognized

nectanebo 2022-04-05 12:46

Really interesting concept and very fun! For some reason some buttons weren't accepted, as if it's some responsive problem.. I don't know if it just me. Great idea and game overall, simple but on point! Nice!

reronin 2022-04-05 12:48

That was really fun! Tried beating the highest scores a few times but other people seem to be way better. This might also be fun with 2 people to press the keys

gabriel-dias-oliveira-de-almeida 2022-04-05 14:55

Congrats for the game, I loved to play Twister on my PC :D

nerzal 2022-04-05 17:40

Gameplay: The fact that i'm able to chose my keyboard layout is really helpful. I am really really bad at this game. Really bad. So bad!

Felt like playing twister with my hands on my keyboard and got totally confused after a few seconds! It has kind of a fun element to it though!

Although the highscore system do add a layer of replayability i'll not try it again to be honest, as i was just really bad. Sorry.

Graphics: The artstyle made me feel like a nuclear bomb commander in the 1970s who is desperately trying not to launch the nukes! That's a huge plus!

Audio: The music and the voice on the telephone really added to my frustration while failing to press the correct buttons. That is a plus! I just felt totally overwhelmed playing this game.

This game is beautiful. This game is fun. This game is amazing. This game is mind-blowing. I love this!

okamit 2022-04-06 00:57

This is really fun haha, I agree with others, definitely felt like twister for my fingers! Perhaps would make for some interesting online co-op gameplay as well?

Loved the artstyle and the voice acting, it really added to the experience, and the music is great.

I like that you have configiurations for different keyboard layouts, that's a nice touch.

Good job!

The mechanics are great similar to GIRP. Playing on stream, as you already knew the keyboard, could not always press al the keys at the same time but it is still a novel idea and solid entry overall.

smartwilliam 2022-04-06 12:38

This game was really fun! Simple and hilarious, twister for your fingers! Great job and great idea!

kylazaur 2022-04-06 13:35

Like twister with your finge... (looks at comment above). Welp, it was really well done, should be very proud of this one!

wendel-scardua 2022-04-07 02:47

I really liked the tension the game generates, at some points I thought more time had passed than it actually did ("this time I'll enter the leaderboard for sure..." "wait, what do you mean my time was only 1:08 !?")

shampop 2022-04-07 11:33

You found a very innovative concept, and you turned it to 11 ! I really like that every aspect is done and consistent as a whole, great job !

brotherst 2022-04-07 11:36

Saw this being played on stream. I really wanna play and try and get the high score, but seems the key press bug is affecting me with almost every combination of keys. I'll hold off rating and come back and see if you've fixed this soon :)

rickylee 2022-04-07 14:05

Awesome concept! Perfect with the theme, music and visuals were all awesome! Great submission! :)

tricky-fat-cat 2022-04-08 08:01

I love such a simple and fun idea. The only complaint is that there is no Dvorak layout!

justcamh 2022-04-08 11:29

Thanks for joining the stream and sending in your game! It's such an awesome idea I wish I had working tech and a hand camera to showcase how epic the game makes you feel. Here's the vod if you'd like to rewatch: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1449607637

Hello! We had a similar idea before chosing our actual game concept. Pretty cool and well executed.

supersonic 2022-04-09 13:08

Twisted! :-) cool idea and really fun to play, good job

chairshot-games 2022-04-10 22:21

Love it! I've never seen this idea before and you executed it flawlessly. Art and Music are great too. One of the best games I've seen so far.

itsboats 2022-04-19 05:40

I was one of the unfortunate few that couldn't play because of the multiple key issue, but this was very well done and I didn't hold my crappy keyboard against you in the ratings xD I just wish I could have enjoyed the game to the fullest extent!

oillen 2022-04-21 19:44

This game defeated my Keyboard ... lol - @andidebob are you going participate in Rocket Beans Jam this year?

jay-sirtest-productions 2022-06-30 12:49

Very Quirky and Challeging to play for a long time which I like in the end
