I'm not a huge fan of typing games, but I thought this was really fun. I love the art style, the moles are very cute. Also, it makes good use of the theme. Well done!
Thanks for checking the game out!
this makes me very stressed but i love it :)
Thank you, glad you liked it :)
"this makes me very stressed but i love it": can also apply to me playing your game xD
pretty good typing game. My only concern is just the same thing that someone said below. But over all nice entry! Be sure to give my game a try too :)
Already checked your game out! Thanks for your feedback :)
This is the first typing game I've seen in the jam thus far, and I think it's decent. I like the ambient birds, the quite colorful aesthetics, and the reflex gameplay. Although I do think the game starts out a little too unforgiving. I would be great if the player could work up to faster speeds. I would also like some kind of visualization of the time left for each key. But, this isn't bad. Good job.
Moles appear at totally random intervals between a given time frame (the difficulty), that time span decreases as time goes on so the difficulty increases, you may have gotten unlucky and more than three moles appeared the first time : p
There were timers in the development build, I opted for taking them out to give an element of randomness to the game and make the player sometimes feel like "Oh I did it" or "Oh, just missed it" :)
Nevertheless thank you for your feedback, I will definitely take it into consideration! Thank you
Really cool typing game concept! It was fun to practice my English typing. Very nice a clean 3d models/graphics, awesome polish! This would be a great language study game too (change the letters to pictures and language learners have to type the word) Keep it up~ Great job submitting a game to the jam! Please check out mine when you have time :)
Awesome idea, thanks! I'm glad you liked it :D (I did already check out your game, very cool!)
Good game, It can be very useful for learning typing. You should give it a didactic approach.
Thanks for the tip! Glad you liked it :)
Pretty good, although I found I could just mash my keyboard for a god mode
Wow, I tried that during development and it didn't seem to work that well, feedback noted and thank you!
I LOVE TYPING GAMES! GREAT JOB! Also I really like the punny name haha.
Thanks :D
Oh, I really like the unique spin on wack-a-mole
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for checking it out, glad you liked it :)
This a kind of typing game you won't see often.
Your UI looks really really good and the asthetics in general are wall made.
The sound when typing in the right letter get a bit repetative.
Changing the pitch for each time playing could help.
Was fun playing.
Thank you for your feedback, I will surely keep it in mind! I'm happy you enjoyed it! :D
Very well designed game! I like how you have to use the keyboard.
Glad you enjoyed it :D
Smashing the keyboard instead of smashing the moles haha nice idea and reall simple yet fun & addictive game, don't have any criticism or problems to share :)
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)
Great twist! Smashing away on my keyboard and it was fun! Awesome game
Thanks :D
I have always loved typing games and this twist on it is really nice as well! the graphics were very polished and the difficulty is just right. Great job!
Thanks for your feedback! Glad you enjoyed it!
The concept, art style and sound design are great.In my opinion you should dicrease the difficulty a Little bit. Great game!!
Thank you for your feedback!
Difficulty is something that seems to be all over the place, for some people its too much and for others too little, maybe in the future I should take that in mind too!
Hope you enjoyed my game, will rate yours in a second!
Really nice! I had more fun with this game than I thought I would have :D.
Nice art and idea.
Great work!
Thank you for playing and rating my game, I appreciate the compliments :)
Glad you enjoyed it :D
Nice idea! only feedback i can find is, i got "O" quite early on and it's a bit stretched and i immediately thought it was a 0(zero).
Other than that nice graphics and game play.
Thanks for your feedback! I will address that once the jam is over :)
Fun concept and good flow in the game :) Well done.
Something I would change is maybe so the difficulty increases faster? Went up to 300 points and it felt like the same speed which was kind of easy at that point? and maybe if you press the wrong letter it should get -1 life? But overall really good job :) impressed
Keep making games
Thank you for your feedback, I'm glad you liked it :)
As for the difficulty, the game locks it at 2 seconds per mole appearance, maybe after the jam I can make it a bit harder :D
I love your graphics!
And what a good idea to press keys instead of hitting them!
Thank you so much for checking out my game, will check yours soon :)
