Neat little game with great potential! Love your game.
Some thoughts: Some levels are a bit stressful when you have to replace the commands while simultaneously figuring out the numbers and commands of the level. Placing visible commands (e.g. arrows) instead of numbers would be helpful imo. I would also like to have more time in the beginning and hit a "Go"-button once I'm done with placing the initial numbers.
Huh boy, I got a MILK JETPACK! I needed 3 attempts until it clicked with the platforming. Nice.
@saviqq Thanks for feedback! Sometimes it's not noticeable but the hand which smashes on the keyboard every now and then actually restores all keys in that area. I thought about simply pressing damaged keys to repair them but decided to just leave it as is. I found out that jumping all the time certainly helps...
I really lost some hours of sleep because I wanted to realize all the features I had in mind. However, there are still things missing but I'm pretty happy with the result. The source code is an absolute hacked mess so it got exponentially harder to add and fix things. I'm not going to touch that anymore, haha (or am I?).
@fornaree Thanks for feedback! Maybe I got a bit too good during playtesting and thought it's fine the way it is. Unless you jump around all the time (because you touch less keys) you'll have a hard time finishing the game, that's right. Maybe I'll fix the common issues and realize all my "nice-to-have" features in a post-compo if I can manage to dig through my horrible code.
This is a great game, maybe a bit too hard because I was quickly overwhelmed by the number of enemies. Love the sounds and graphics!
