nice idea, entertaining.

locksmitharmy 2024-04-16 00:41

This is super polished, I like it :)

letssnack 2024-04-16 08:00

Hella nice game! Gives typing of the dead a whole different meaning. Love that you can enhance your summon spells with additional words. The blend of 2d and 3d is also very sick. 10/10 would typo again

Really great game. Loved the idea of combining enchantments and summons.

baggersmurf 2024-04-16 08:01

Great graphics, creative idea. Never quite figured out how the enchantments worked, though.

wmute 2024-04-16 08:05

I broke my fingers to type the last name!

catnap 2024-04-16 08:06

didnt expect my bad typing skills to be that deadly (good game mechanic idea, liked it a lot :D)

bittripbrit 2024-04-16 08:08

Incredibly polished game, really fun and responsive. Love the pixel art expecially. I've never forgotten how to touch type as much as I did while playing this.

shinigamikishi 2024-04-16 08:09

Very nice idea! Great design!

stanthesoupking 2024-04-16 08:22

Great idea, had fun playing this one! Loved the stress of typing out a long spell with many enchantments and then mistyping at the last moment haha. The only thing I would suggest is increasing the difficulty of the later waves.

alexascher 2024-04-16 08:26

Cool game! I figured out the word combination on my own without reading the hint, though not right away. It's really cool that the units change visually based on the modifiers.

I can't stop watching as my velox velox velox velox exossatus exossatus exossatus exossatus saevit saevit saevit saevit ignis ignis ignis ignis sagittarius kills all the waves)

hitnrun76 2024-04-16 09:36

Very cool game !

momotiktik 2024-04-16 11:54

This is super fun! I liked both graphics and atmosphere of the game, and I liked the idea of channeling spells by typing them out :) I would wish this would be a more challenging or had difficulty levels, but it's still fun as is!

soffu 2024-04-16 17:05

We increased difficulty in the mid game. Not much, but the game should become bit challenging)

andreas-roschal 2024-04-16 21:33

Really like the typing idea with prefixes to buff your units. Very clever! Had a lot of fun playing this game. Very nice job!

kirass 2024-04-16 23:09

You are really great! The game turned out great!

the-sphess 2024-04-16 23:10

Unique idea with great potential! The mix of 3D backgrounds and sprites fits together well, and the gameplay is super polished. With more enhancements and a wave system, it could be a full game!

talon24 2024-04-16 23:29

Cool concept and fun application of the theme, music and SFX are fantastic, some of those words really make you trip over when making a long spell :smile: The combining of enchantments is a great idea! Love how well they stack, even with themselves, maybe there should be a ceiling or diminishing returns, but i'm having fun with my exossatus exossatus exossatus exossatus exossatus exossatus exossatus exossatus exossatus exossatus exossatus exossatus exossatus exossatus exossatus bellator :smile: 2024-04-17 01_25_22-Greenshot.png

Loved every letter of it :heart: Untitled.png

ani 2024-04-18 15:07

This is really good. The panic of typing is pretty fun, even though I'm terrible at it! Stacking enchantments is a great feature too, adding some risk/reward to the typing.

xhadie 2024-04-18 17:37

The music reminds me a bit of the undertaker entrace theme haha! Had a blast playing it. It would have been nice to know what the actual purpose of the enchantements are. But for a jam entry it looks extremely polished, I am really impressed by that!

Found the stress factor of typing (and mistyping hehe) really also really fun! Fun entry!

aaron-hart 2024-04-18 19:10

This is awesome! I love the use of 2.5D - both the characters and scene look great! And the gameplay is fun and fits the theme very well. I have never been so aware of how many typo's I made :D

tricky-fat-cat 2024-04-18 19:24

I like the game idea, it's quite easy to play and sound effects are a bit too.

capreola 2024-04-19 19:44

I quite enjoyed the idea. Typing spells give the player more to do, and you have to think fast. I think it has potential and can be explored for more interesting mechanics. Good job!

zablas 2024-04-19 22:09

Very interesting concept. I hope to see more summon enchants and maybe a campaign? ;)

anaastaska 2024-04-19 22:12

I really enjoyed gameplay, it’s funny and easy to understand , idea of the game is great and you really did a great job!

jordantanner 2024-04-20 00:05

I thought I was good at typing. I really thought so. They always told me I was. Even in keyboarding class, I did well. But now... I just.... I just don't know anymore.

This is a super fun concept and is extremely well executed. Art and 2.5D perspective are super cool, and the game play is playfully stressful and fun. I'm glad I noticed the above comment about stacking enchantments bc that is definitely interesting. Overall amazing entry and fantastic work you guys!

congusbongus 2024-04-20 00:10

lots of sagittarius I guess having 100 sagittarius is also a way to break the game? It was fun, reminds me of those old defend the castle flash games

freshd 2024-04-20 06:23

The game is very cool. I think I improved my typing precision quite a bit ^^ The pixelart sprites in a 3D-World look fantastic. Great job!

kenguin 2024-04-20 12:51

Love the idea! Very well done

bearacus 2024-04-20 18:36

Super polished and super fun. The typing/summoning is punch and responsive and the clear audio queue that You've made a mistake helps so that your eyes dont have to dart to and from the screen. Love the 3d environment mixed with the 2d pixel sprite units. Great entry!

jqnox 2024-04-20 18:47

It's lots of fun, I like the type to cast, reminds me of a roblox game I played way back. I understood Enchantments after 10 minutes (didn't really focus on them, rather focused on creating a big army). That being said the game is very easy to play, which is not really my style of game, but hey good job making it! 4/5 from me.

yanato 2024-04-20 19:00

Wow. Good job! Maybe you need to make the road a little wider and add some spellcasts. I've seen other projects with typing text, but this is the best for sure! The feeling of summoning the undead is best conveyed here))))

nbumgardner 2024-04-22 03:00

Good use of modular design for an upgrade system.

sweetwizzle 2024-04-26 18:20

I've always loved typing games, so this was a fun twist for me, and it helps make the summoning theme more present. Would have enjoyed a steadier difficulty curve, but I'm well aware how hard that is to pin down during a jam! The level of polish is great, you've done a wonderful job.

thyoi 2024-04-28 04:53

Screenshot 2024-04-27 215137.png This was really fun, especially when I realized I could combo enchant to get super archers!

nuanda79 2024-05-01 17:16

I've seen a lot of tower defense games in this jam, but this one is very original and one of the most fun ones I've tried. Well done!

freamdev 2024-05-01 18:33

Very enjoyable and well done entry.

Took me a while why I can't type exossafus, I understand the choice of the font but for me it made it hard to read the words correctly. Enjoyed the idea of putting the enchants on the mobs, I wish some of the words got randomized after casting, eventually the game just turned into a ignis bellator spam.
