Nice gameplay, i like it, but on level 2 very unexpected jump in difficulty

Nice gameplay, i like it, but on level 2 very unexpected jump in difficulty
The first fun typing game I’ve played. Like the art!
I think its not possible to finish level 2 unless you are a master typer hahaha. Cool entry overall. ld53-5.PNG
I'm awful at typing, so this genre isn't really my bag, but this is really solid and polished. Love the theming and presentation - it's a really quirky take on the jam theme - but I wonder if it's undermined a bit by the words being random. After the tutorial, I was thinking what a fun idea it is to write 'tree' or 'bird' to warn the drone about upcoming obstacles.
Creative idea. I thought at first I was going to give the drone commands. Nice fun typing game. The art looks good well done.
Such a creative take on the typing genre - had tons of fun with this. It took me some time to realize that I didn't have to write down all the words to navigate around the object - another clever element! I might be wrong about this, but it seems to sometime miss letters, when you're typing too fast, which can be frustrating.
Nevertheless, amazing work done in 48 hours and good take on delivery!
@pdotjpg Thanks for playing. Your're right, it would have been pretty nice to have each object have it's own word list with somewhat reasonable words but I didn't get to it in time.
Great submission! I wasnt expecting a typing challenge. Loved it!
A typing game! that's new! well for me is new. I'm not good at English, but still have fun! great work!!!
Very fun idea! The jump in difficulty was a bit too much for me though
I wasn't expecting a typing game, good job! I just think the difficulty ramp up pretty fast from the 2nd to the 3rd level.
Really like the idea!I am a big fan of typing games and this was a unique take!Tho stage 4 is a bit too hard and I couldnt really get if there are 2 objects of the same size next to each other if I should type them both or only one
I love this, this is so good.
this is the most unique game I've seen so far in the game jam, and IT WORKS. a typing game was something I didn't even think about a typing game at all and the fact that this works so well and is genuinely so fun to play is amazing. great job! :heart:
Pretty fun! But I have to agree that the difficulty spikes fast :sweat_smile:
A unique mechanic, but you have to type so fast to make it! Good job
Hey I did it! Very fun game with a nice and interesting mechanic. I played the web version first and like @fnkee, I felt like it was eating some of my inputs. I swapped to the downloadable version and I didn't notice a single missing letter after that. It could may well be placebo though because it's hard to tell while playing.
There were a couple of times on the final stage where I was taking damage even though I was typing everything. Again it was hard to tell during gameplay but I was taking damage from things I felt like I should have been avoiding. Like the part with the package in between two trees and the tall boxes that you skim the top of as you fly over.
Otherwise I had a good time with this one. Nice one!

The difficulty spikes from nothing to sky high in a split second.

It kinda suffers from being too same each try to really warrant going for a better score. But on the other hand shuffles the words just enough that you can't really learn them and improve like that either. I think it would have been better to choose either or. Go with a full on random route or have everything be planned. Could have even done some thematical storytelling or at least have the other words besides "takeoff" fit in better if choosing the hand picked route.
Having to repeat the tutorial every try too isn't fun as it's just brain dead easy and always the exact same.
Having the game be split to levels doesn't really make sense here to me. It just adds unnecessary waiting time in the form of transitions, showing the score and even ramping up the difficulty back. Especially so when it's so insanely balanced that probably vast majority of players can't beat level three.
This slight size issue was very annoying to me. I'm blaming that missing 10 pixels for my poor performance! 😅

There were some depth issues especially in the tutorial like this health bar and "dimmer bar" too covering the help texts. Also having transparent white on transparent so it multiplies for the arrow doesn't look good. Going full opaque would have been better here. And sometimes reading the red letters from purple background was tricky. Or just do the same as for the previous bubble and not have the arrow be angled.
By the way, I made something conceptually very similar on last Ludum Dare. 😜

But yeah, good job! 👍 Obviously would need some balancing and tweaks to help with replayability like a bigger dictionary.
didn't expect a typing game when the theme was delivery xD
@kykypy3o8 @rhewid @teun-de-vries @renardgames @lex @zerfalex Thanks for playing, difficulty is hard, need to dial it down next time :slight_smile:
@cosmogonicfrog @fnkee Certainly could be something with the webgl build losing some keys, I basically had no time to test it :sweat_smile:
@antti-haavikko Wow, thank you! Didn't expect feedback from the legend himself, your game last time might have been somewhat of an inspiration to try this genre out :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: Very good points, some of which I was painfully aware when pressing the submit button :laughing:
Not my type of game, but it was a fun experience. I love the UI and the animations. Great job.
interesting idea and well handled.. art is really nice.. fast typing makes you realize how many typos there are in your own code :) .. cool game
Nice entry! Typing when there are too many objects on the screen at the same type has been a bit of a challenge, but I liked the idea of piloting an AI bot.
Really cool game! Nice art and colors, and very fun gameplay. Level 2 was way too difficult for me, but I had fun trying. I really liked the motion of the drone, it felt good to narrowly avoid obstacles
Wow that got hard fast, 1672 points :sweat_smile: Well executed! I like the graphical design!
