neat good game for getting people better at typing as well. The tutorial worked for me the only issue I had was the score being cut off from the top bar of my browser might be a Firefox thing  though. And I ran into one jump that my guy was not able to make the block was a lot higher up then he could jump unless you had to type fast and do a double jump. kept getting stuck on this jump made it here 4 times no dice maybe I just suck who knows.

Hey there!
Thanks for playing! 
I had a look and I realise I neglected to anchor the score to the camera! Rookie error, haha.

You don't suck, the guy just has very little legs! But seriously, thanks for the feedback!
I'm updating the game and adding a double jump, so bigger gaps shouldn't be a problem in the future. If there's still gaps that are too big, I might have to make them a bit narrower.
I'll upload a new version of the game after voting has ended, so as not to interfere with the jam in any way!

Thanks again for taking the time to play and for your feedback! =]

sounds good I will give it a try after you update it again then.

That was a really great entry. How you jumped was a really great idea. I understand why you only had one line on screen at a time but I think it would feel nicer if you could always see the words ahead, maybe having the words scroll from right to left as you type them. That way you would also get a space to jump with at the end of each line to, as at the moment you kind of expect that but dont get it. There is always a space after a sentence :) But great work on this entry I really liked the idea behind it!

Thanks for the feedback!
The scrolling text is a great idea! It was such a good idea that I went back and edited the game to implement it.  I also added a double jump feature that someone else suggested, and it's much better now! I will upload the new version separately after the voting has ended.
This was the first game I've made, so I still have a lot to learn. I am learning Unity almost exclusively from your fantastic YouTube tutorials, so thank you so much for those! =]

"Press T for the tutorial" = blank level. So, i don't know how to play your game. That's all i have to say, sorry.

Developer

Hey there!
Thank you for informing me! Could you please let me know if you were running the browser or downloaded version of the game, and at what resolution? It seems to work for some but not for others and I'm trying to figure out why!

Thanks again!

It was in browser

Good job for finishing a game!  I couldn't figure out how to jump haha, and there is nothing in the tutorial?  (maybe I'm dumb too? hehe)  I pushed space and various buttons on my keyboard, but nothing.  Nevertheless, good job!  Check out 'Europa' if you can.

Hi there!
Thanks for letting me know! Could you please tell me if you were playing the browser or downloaded version of the game, and what resolution you are running on? It seems to work for some people and not for others so I'm trying to get to the bottom of it!

I've added some instructions in the game's description, if you wish to give it another go!

I will certainly check out your game. Thanks again!
