Did you use any third-party assets or skeleton code?
I used some music and sound effects from the Wowie Resources that the jam suggested.

What a lovely and unique theme! I loved how everything from the typing, to the bullets, to the enemies, and even the health bar was themed around writing and letters! I feel like I wanted my bullets to be a tad faster, and it would be great if you introduced power-ups or other shooting mechanics in later stages, but overall great work!
Omg thank you so much for the kind words :) yea I wanted to add so much more. I wanted to make a mechanic where you draw around enemies and they join your side. Too many ideas, too little time haha.
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Interesting idea! I've never seen a bullet hell mixed with a typing game before. haha.
And using letters for ammo and enemies was an interesting idea.
Thanks :) I really wanted to make a game around typing as I’d never programmed that before, then I found this jam and it all came together. Glad you liked it!
nice, i like the typing, concept is cool, I feel like it could be cool if there were more typing mechanics somehow.
Yea I definitely should have fleshed it out a little more. I’m glad you liked what I had time to make anyway. Thanks for playing :)
definitely good for a jam! can only do so much
Thank you! Only so much time lol Then again you managed to put together something so awesome and complete! I kinda hoped you had a downloadable build as I wanted to keep it on my PC XD
Love the reload mechanic and using alphabets as the ammo is very creative. rounds get a little repetitive after a bit, hopefully you add new enemies in the future. Also when typing bishop, the p brings up the pause menu. Otherwise, great job.
Yea the P to reload was a last minute decision for WebGL, oh well haha!
I’m glad you liked it :) I wanted to add a ton more for variety but ran out of time. Anyway, thanks for playing :)
Having to type to reaload is a great idea, the shooting sound is also pretty satisfying,
though the hurt sound feels weird since you're a pencil.
Haha you make a good point. I was happy with it since it distinguished your damage from everything else pretty well. Nonetheless, you make a fair point.
Thanks for playing ;)
Very neat idea to adding typing for reload. Some of the bullets are super fast but was a lot of fun.
Thanks dude :) yea it needs some tweaking here and there but time wasn’t on my side lol oh well. Thanks for playing and for giving feedback!
Binding “P” to pause is nice, but then there’s words that end in P so the game immediately pauses after you type. I love the concept. Thank you for sharing this with us. 😁
Oh god… changing it to P was literally a last minute decision for the WebGL build because esc closes full screen haha. Thanks for bringing that up lol
You’re welcome. Thank you for playing :)
A Really Unique take on a simple idea. Limited ammo is a fairly simple idea from the theme but the implementation of it is as far as I can tell unique or very close to. I feel the difficulty could've ramped up more and having to constantly move between the mouse and keybaord felt a bit clunky but overall a really cool idea and a very fun game.
Thanks dude :) yea moving back and forth is a little clunky like you said. I often ran into a bullet scrambling to touch the mouse again haha. Thanks for playing !
