Really cool entry! I played through it and had a great time. Here is a quick breakdown of my thoughts: • Gameplay & Design: The core mechanics feel solid and intuitive right from the start. The gameplay loop is engaging, and the controls feel responsive and fair. • Visuals & Art Style: The visual direction fits the overall mood really well. Everything looks cohesive, and the presentation makes it very clean to follow what's happening on screen. • Audio: The sound effects and audio design add a lot of punch to the experience and help build the atmosphere. • Theme Interpretation: You did a fantastic job incorporating the jam's theme into the core loop in a creative and clever way! Constructive Polish Idea: If you decide to update or expand this after the jam, adding a few extra feedback cues (like juice/particles or subtle screen shake) or expanding on a few mechanics could make it feel even more polished! Overall, awesome job for a jam project! Left you a high score/rating. Keep up the great work! 🚀

I love the idea! I think it could feel even more like a game if players typed actual words instead of random letters. Also, when the player gets a typing power-up, they could get some flexibility, like not having to type the entire word to activate it.

Hahahaha, this is totally hilarious. Looks and sounds great. What a funny idea. The only note I have would that it would be funnier if that instead of Lorem Ipsum, if there was something to actually read. That would give it some kind of progression. Nice job!

I like the idea that what you see is NOT what you type, which I think could be a lot of gameplay and narrative potential here haha. It’s simple and funny idea, and wish to see more variation for the text at early stage for sure. Nice Job!

Surprisingly fun to play! Graphics and sounds were good. My hands hurt now little bit but it was worth it. It didn't end but no idea if it has such. Great entry in incremental genre!

Interesting incremental game! Usually, everything is tied to the mouse, but HERE you have to type. Nice style, it's just a shame there's no background music. Whew, my fingers are tired now—I shouldn't have been clicking like a maniac.

I love the idea of turning "everyday things" into a game! With a bit of balancing and some nice visual feedback, it could be super fun to play. Reminds me of WarioWare minigames!

Oh man, my hands are killing me after mashing my keyboard for so long 😅 I don't normally get sucked into incremental style games, but something about the whole package here was super satisfying.

I will say, I got very confused at first when I opened the game, because I thought you were supposed to be clicking on the keys of the typewriter to start typing. I tried clicking all over the place, and must have spent around a minute or so before I thought of pressing anything on my keyboard. Definitely a skill issue, but it might be worth clarifying how to get started for dummies like me

Typing Writer is a fun and enjoyable game. You type to earn money, spend it on upgrades in the notebook next to the typewriter, and type faster as you move through the levels. The nice typewriter design makes the simple idea feel new, and each upgrade gives you a reason to keep playing. It is a great little game for anyone who likes typing games and getting better step by step.

I love the incremental take on the game. It would be really nice if the letters that light up on the machine would actually correspond with the ones you press on keyboard, or other thing could be that when you type, the text doesnt reset every time, but you would continue with lets say a new paragraph and in the end you would actually write a book. The sounds are very nice as well. All in all very nice and polished game!

The concept of generating text through typing was a surprisingly engaging idea to play through. It is a fun and unique project!

Could use the annotation of what each category means. Because, what is "1" Crit chance? 100%? 1%? Some funny text typed instead of Lorem Iplsum would add a lot to feel andhumor. It's really weird that the typer hammers do not move.

Good visuals and nice concept! Should we start to call it typer instead of clicker?

Really nice take on the clicker genre, really fun project!

Hey hello ! Your game is cool. What do you think about the following idea: having to type randomly generated words within a time limit to make the writing more challenging? Anyway, great job! :-)

i’m a sucker for incremental games anyway. at first i wasn’t sure if i had to type something exactly, but then the multipliers really got me hooked :)
