Very pretty! I love it!

manabreak 2024-04-15 08:04

Your itch.io page is flagged for suspicious activity. :/

muhyrla 2024-04-15 08:07

Im not sure why, maybe because of .exe compiled py file, i cant do anything with it sadly :(

adam-gould 2024-04-15 10:24

My score was 101250. I love these types (ha) of games - my main criticism with this one is that once you get a bit into the game, the enemy movement gets pretty jittery which makes it hard to read the words. Well done though!

muhyrla 2024-04-15 10:45

Thank you for feedback @adam-gould!

the speed of the monsters themselves and their spawn directly depends on the number of points you accumulate, i will think about it, thanks again!

I like this game Play our game Poizon pets

wubbaduck 2024-04-15 16:49

Haha, I was typing away and it took me three words of trying to pop the dude in a suit before I realized it... you got me :clap:

You might want to repackage the download though, I had to download both the source and the exe to the same folder to make it work since the resources aren't compiled into the exe.

oof couldn't play it, sorry.. I'd play the source code directly but I don't have pygames. anyway I noticed that your page is flagged for suspicious activity. this is normal and has happened to me and a friend of mine before, it happens when you upload a game right after creating your page, the warning should go away soon. and for anyone curious I ran the game through [virustotal](https://www.virustotal.com) and it's pretty safe!

try to upload a web build when joining game jams, its easier to run and makes people less suspicious. other than that, I wish you good luck and hope that you had fun making this game!

muhyrla 2024-04-15 17:02

@wubbaduck haha, thank you for feedback! I have repackaged it on Itch, completely forgot about this thing ;)

@0x-void-x0 thank you for clarifying, this is my first gamejam/LD and i could only think towards python and pygame (python is only thing i know xd). You still can install pygame and try to play, the game has no other dependencies.

I will try web build on #56LD :heart:

btw: i don't understand why what you have in the screenshot is happening, but I'll try to think in that direction.

Its like the learning games I played in the 90s... what a throwback, thanks <3

muhyrla 2024-04-15 17:08

@locksmitharmy thank you!

2024-04-15 17:29

Nice!

bitluderrb7804fr 2024-04-15 20:35

Cute! :)

lyamgtt 2024-04-15 20:40

So cute OMG !!

fumybulb 2024-04-16 09:18

Cute art! :smiley_cat: Although, during the playthroughs, my attention was mainly drawn to the words on the screen and to the keyboard (cuz I do not have blind typing skills).

Привет с омского людума!

> I will try web build on #56LD

There is a **pygame-web** thing exists: https://pygame-web.github.io/

BTW, it is allowed (and encouraged) to port the game to other platforms (web, etc) AFTER the 48/72 hours:

muhyrla 2024-04-16 10:23

@fumybulb thanks and Привет!)

I've been racking my brain with pygbag for a day now, trying hard to port it :D

promzona 2024-04-16 19:48

Oh, what a flashback into my childhood games. Had a fun time playing it. Congratulations with submitting a game!

Have a nice Jam!

naplz98 2024-04-16 20:59

I love word filling games, also the cat is beautiful! Very nice game!

sstyles93 2024-04-16 21:37

Cool game and nice visuals. Well done doing it in c++ :D And the cat is really cute

muhyrla 2024-04-16 22:30

@promzona thank you for kind words!

@naplz98 thanks! the only thing that we can name beauty in our game, is arts, we sold the souls for them :smile:

@sstyles93 thank you! game written on pure python and pygame, I compiled it so this is maybe why you think it’s cpp 😶

kirass 2024-04-16 23:16

You are really great! The game turned out great!

muhyrla 2024-04-17 05:54

@manabreak @0x-void-x0

Hi guys! I have ported my game on Web, you can check it on Itch, thank you!

impalpable 2024-04-17 07:06

The game is cute, I like cat on the cloud! Typing games are great, it could be more rapid I think as time goes on but I am a very fast typer :/

muhyrla 2024-04-17 07:12

Thank you @impalpable !

This is how it works now, the speed of spawn and mobs depends on how many points you have scored :cat:

sarafilipa 2024-04-17 07:28

Okay, out of all the places I expected to get rickrolled, Ludum Dare was NOT one of them. Brilliant game - great graphics, fun concept and mechanic, nicely executed. What a gem!

muhyrla 2024-04-17 07:37

Thank you @sarafilipa for kind words! :heart:

squidly 2024-04-17 07:45

I liked the concept but it's pretty rough which is to be expected from a first game in a new engine. You should be proud.

fenix131113 2024-04-17 08:46

Super concept. I love it. But i can write so fast!

darizz 2024-04-17 11:26

Хорошая тренировка для пальцев рук или ног. Нейронка немного косячно генерит слова, от чего путаешься. Отличный миленький визуал!

patrick-pang 2024-04-17 17:21

Hahahaha very cute game! The cat and enemies are designed so cutely by you that it makes people forget that this is a tense game (sorry I am typing too slowly lol) I love this game!

bastillas 2024-04-19 03:19

The game reminds me to those old learning games too, maybe because of the clean & cutesy artstyle, maybe speed of monsters (and rick) are a little to fast but I still enjoy it, nice game.

derpmeowmeow 2024-05-03 06:32

i like typing games AND i own two orange cats. your game hits the spot for sure
