Really fun take on the theme. The visuals are really cool and the game is fun to play.
Genius idea, fantastic interactive experience，really cool
Played the game and liked it.
I never thought I'd see letters fight each other. This is fun and well executed. It could be a little harder.
I like the mechanics, very unique and fun! Maybe if you had the enemies spawn at an increasing rate it could up the difficulty a bit, it feels a little easy right now. Maybe you could have a big boss letter that takes multiple units to kill? Idk, just a thought. Nice work!
I played through and won the first time (and got the sans-serif win screen), and just had to go back and see if the lose screen was in a serif font (spoiler: it was). Hilarious concept, and fun to watch all the letters battle each-other with parentheses and bleed in asterisks.
Love the visuals from the letters fighting with parens and brackets, background being a battlefield of dead letters was a good touch too. The game itself was a bit easy, I think I was clicking around summoning without much consideration but ended up winning. Agree with the comment before, a large font boss would be cool to see.
Great job, I love how the letters move it is very fun and creative :)
Fantastic entry!
Good idea and perfectly executed, a little difficult at first but in the end it was quite fun.
The animations were really good for the characters just being letters. A really novel idea executed well.
Interesting take on the theme. I did find myself spamming WASD at mouse locations near the end. I would have loved for the corpses to stay somewhat persistent _(Faded)_ in the background, as a show of the **carnage**
Fun little game! Great take on the theme :)
Pretty neat! Felt like I had success by just moving my mouse generally where enemies were coming and spamming all the summon keys, but it was a fun concept for sure!
I actually think the balance is pretty on point. For a while I wasn't sure who was going to win. Cute idea.
I think it might be too easy. Just spamming ASD works too well.
Great idea!
The game would benefit from the left half that we can spawn our letters being visually different. And maybe the blurry letters at the background would disappear once the game begins, because they make it a bit hard to focus on the game itself.
Silly, creative, funny.
Obviously quite simple and easy, but I don't think this is exactly intended to be complex. What it lacks in depth it makes up for with charm-- which is honestly all I need.
Felt like a 2010s flash game (in the best sense of the phrase.)
Deeply hilarious concept- good stuff.

A loveletter to graphic designers everywhere
jokes aside, I like the idea, reminds me of an old flashgame where you summon elephants
Thanks everyone for the great feedback everyone! I appreciate everyone taking the time to play my first LD entry. It really does mean a lot to me to see all the kind words :heart:
The balance was for sure in the players favor. Turns out that making sufficiently smart AI takes a lot more time than I had in the compo with everything else happening.
Very nice! Cool idea, a bit too easy to be sure, but very charming. I liked the little sounds.
Startlingly fun and pretty game for such a small playtime. I enjoyed every moment of key smashing to protect my battle line. Very well done.
