I LOVE TUIS
Thank you :)
Best I did was 45400 (wave 14) so far.
I am really happy I could use the arrow keys to move, because with an Azerty keyboard switching to Qwerty to move and switching back to be able to type words would have been insane.
I think the concept is kind of silly so obviously I love it.
The game is fun, the controls feel good, the different types of enemies are fun to deal with and the difficulty is fine, as you advance you'd better not miss typing a word, which I did so I died.
Cool game, thanks for sharing.
Ah! You beat my score! :O well done lol
Oh I didn't even think of that. I'm glad I included the arrow keys then. :) I'm glad you liked it. Thank you for playing!
So creative - I skipped the How To Play and the typing minigame was an amazing surprise.
Great interpretation of Limited and I liked the variety in enemy types (B's bullets really caught me off guard)
During the few seconds of downtime between waves I got to appreciate the music and fact you're spewing out letters from a pencil. Honestly the typing part was satisfying enough that I wanted to just keep doing that, great game
Haha thanks! I thought the 'B' enemy was quite creative. B as in bomb if it wasn't already obvious lol I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for playing and for your feedback :)
WHY IS THIS SO COOL!!!
so let me get this straight
you are a pencil
you shoot alphabet (and you have limited alphabets, :3)
and when you reload you have to type a word
if you type it correctly you get healed
if not you dont
AYE THIS IS AWESOME GREAT WORK
Haha you are 100% correct. I'm glad you liked it :) Thanks for playing
Really cool and fun game! Great work, it really got me hooked up. I like that you heal when reloading, and the SFX are on point. I lost a pretty good run because I didn’t notice I had the caps active, so it detected my inputs as wrong and I was freaking out until I realized how dumb I was >< but that should be easy to fix :3 In any case, great game, you made me hate the letter X
Oh god! I didn't even think about caps lock.. really easy to fix but sucks it ruined your run! I'm glad you enjoy it anyway :) Thank you for playing
I think one thing that would help is a tiny pause between completing a word and going back to shooting to give people a little bit of time to reposition their hands, otherwise this game has a brilliant theme and everything feels good! Well done!
I completely agree with you! It was one thing I wanted to add just to give it more polish, like a short animation and text showing up saying "Good job!" or something. It definitely needs that as it's a little clunky trying to rush back to mouse in time, especially if you reload while a bullet is on it's way towards you.
I'm glad you liked it though. Thank you for playing and for your feedback :)
I loved this! It's so creative and cute, and the reload mechanic turned out to be surprisingly fun.
My only complaint is that after a few waves, I thought the gameplay was a little repetitive. I like games to be quite hard, so the difficulty may have just been a bit undertuned for my taste. I quit after completing wave 20, so I could see what the twist was.
Any of the ideas you've mentioned in other comments would help mix things up, especially if something new happens every 5 waves or so. There's so much potential to add creative things onto a simple idea, which I think is really cool!
A great entry that brought me a lot of joy; well done!
Thank you for the kind words, I'm so happy you liked it :) You're right in that it needed more to keep it engaging. Time was the cause for that unfortunately. I had a ton of ideas that I wanted to add but just didn't get round to in the end. I'm glad you still enjoyed it despite those missing features though :)
Good for you for making it to Wave 20 though, I tried but couldn't haha. The only thing that wave allows is for up to 3 X enemies at once, and also "extreme" type words that are around 10-12 letters long.
Really cool game, I can see it becoming a full release. The theme, the gameplay are great, love the idea of the typography and only 26 shots, one for each letter. Also, the distortion on the music when low on health is great. I'd only say that the kill effect and the heartbeat while on low health are too loud, but for the rest I think this is one of my favourites. Congrats ^^
A full release? Damn that's so kind, thank you :) I'm glad you liked it. With more time I definitely could have fixed the audio but yea, you're right about those. Thank you for playing and for your feedback :)
