Loving the game! I wish you could change the controls though because some of the keys aren't on my keyboard.

Very nice game, I was slightly confused at the beginning because both 'caps lock' and 'start' were green but i figured that out easily. 

It would be nice if there was as option to turn off the can lines as well as the crt, and it would also be nice if there was a 'clear all' option. a few times when I made a mistake I had to uncheck a lot of keys and an option to just uncheck everything, or rest the level would be great. 

That is my overhall score :


My main complain is that I wish you made a saving system so I could get back to it later to get all the trophies :x

Great level design, you mixed tower defense with (kindof) typing game. This is a very surprising, minimal and efficient approach. Good job on the originality !
I personally had a lot of fun playing it despite the fact that I never play tower defense game.
The music fit well and is relaxing enough to make me think about a proper solution.
My only question is that ... how it is related to the theme?... Did I miss the lie?... But to be honest, who cares? It's a great game. So I call it a success.

Love the combo of keyboard spaces and tower defense.  TD is one of my all time fav genres.  Great pacing.  Clever level design with the removal of keys.  Dig the concept and execution.  I'm finding some shiny gems in this itch author community.  A+

wow, really great game, loved the design! Could also please check out my game? Any feedback would be appreciated :)

Very cool game idea and in general a nice twist to the otherwise exhausted tower defense genre. If I were to change anything I would make the keys belonging to the path more salient, as they can sometimes be difficult to differentiate.  Overall very nice work!

Beautiful graphics, I especially dig the CRT effect (any Superhot fans around here? : ) )

My only gripe was with the colors: it wasn't immediately obvious what I needed to do (e.g. since two keys share the color green).

Good sound effects, and music, too!

This was a fun mechanic! I'm glad you allowed mouse clicks as well as keyboard presses because my keyboard layout didn't match yours so some keys weren't pressable easily :) It looked cool, and the music was quite relaxing :D Nice work!

Cool Game idea and nice Graphic and art! Good Job! My Game is: https://itch.io/jam/cgj/rate/476937, its called You thought! Rated and Played yours btw!

The game itself itself was not very exciting, but the concept is fantastic. The keyboard gimmick was really neat, but I'm glad that you also gave the option to use your mouse since the novelty wore off quickly. Being able to choose the path makes your options very limited as there's only one optimal path, but I understand that's what you were going for, and the challenge is to figure the one or possibly two paths that work.

The key counter at the top of the screen didn't convey the idea of how many keys I could use very well,  partially because you don't know the limit until you've exceeded it, and partially because you can place as many keys as you want and the only indication is that the number changes color, which is likely to be missed entirely since nothing about the limit is explained in the help screen and the change from yellow to white is rather subtle.

I thought that I had hit the key limit once the number changed color, but I found it impossible to form a path within the limit in one level. However, I added another key past what I assumed was the limit and the simulation ran, which made me wonder if the color change was indicative of anything or if the only way to know you've hit the limit is to attempt to run the simulation and fail to start.

I feel the number should start at the maximum and count down to 0, and prevent you from placing any more keys then. The number becoming red would have been a better indication of being over the limit, since it stands out more and is generally associated with wrong things.
