Not bad
Good.
A fun little timewaster! I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I thoroughly enjoyed your comment!
I love the way that the music cuts out when you stop. Reminds me of loony tunes when characters begin to sing but get interrupted. This is by far the funniest game I've played from the jam.
Thank you! The music choice was my girlfriend’s idea, so she deserves some of the credit ;)
This is a really silly little game. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Nice work!
Glad it’s silliness-sufficient!
Haha of course! We'd love your feedback on our game as well, if you haven't done so already. SpaceBus
Done!
Thank you!
The game is super fun, i like the concept, it reminds me a little bit of one of my games (so extra points for that).
What I would suggest is:
And, well, then there's that:
Very thorough review! Thanks for all the notes! I'll add them to my notes for future improvement! Thank you so much!!!
love the concept and the audio is so fitting haha
I made a joke about being sponsored by keyboard manufacturers in another comment, so I'm not gonna repeat it.
The game is really hard for me because it takes some time for me to react to appearing typos, and the timer seems to be pretty tight (btw, I corrected all the typos :D). Although, I liked how it discouraged repeatedly pressing one key by making a ton of typos, that's definitely what was needed to force players into pressing different keys, nice touch. Also, I wish there was some kind of game-over screen instead of just hanging.
There's not much to say about graphics other than it's simple and does not distract you.
To sum it up, you did a good job on this one!
Thanks, RedTeaPot! Yup, the graphics could definitely be worked on. Doesn’t have a lot of personality. I think I’ll patch in a better “game over” screen when the rating period is over. Glad you liked it!
Oh, I meant that the graphics is pretty nice. The text I typed did get past the sheets at times but this is the only issue I've noticed with it.
the game is very fun and i love the concept too. at once i would just fix the error but then there just no time i just randomly typing and just ignore the error lol. and nice choice of music too.
Yeah, the errors are an optional challenge. I think the error correction gameplay could be more fun, and the errors could be more interesting, too. Maybe I’ll build on the concept later :) Glad you liked it!
Very funny concept, really clever. I think if you include some decision about which keyboard presses you have to use, it could strengten the gameplay, as right now there is no concious choice the player is making in his typing, he is just button bashing as fast as possible until an error pops up. But all in all very fun. I liked the presentation and the music too, great work!!
This is really good feedback. I kind of wanted the "cartoon secretary" / "90's action movie hacker" style of mindless typing experience, but some more depth would be good. In fact, if you hit the same characters repeatedly, you will get way more errors, so variety is rewarded!
That was fun! The music really fits the goofy theme too. It's pretty stressful though, at some point I'd just ignore further errors and type that damn letter x)
Yeah, I decided to make it an optional challenge. (or rather, I didn't bother to program a proper failure state haha). Glad you enjoyed it! I personally found it very interesting from a storytelling perspective, too.
That was hilarious, I love how you have to keep typing for the music to continue playing, and how frantic is becomes typing as fast as possible and going back correcting errors. It's a simple yet very strong concept, great job on this game!
Much appreciated! Glad you had fun! Maybe I'll work more with this concept in the future!
enyojed it a lot. really funny
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
This was great fun to play, I had an absolute laugh when I realized how to play. No real criticism apart from stuff you're probably aware of already, like being able to read the letter after finishing and the text overflowing the paper sometimes.
The music was a fantastic touch!
Thanks, Kenjoku! I'll make sure to release an updated build that addresses some of those UX issues ;) Glad you enjoyed it!
I mashed my keyboard a whole lot. My roommate thought I was crazy. No regrets.
Haha, you did it right!
the moment I realize about what the game was and how it should be played I laugh out loud for whole minute while smashing the keyboard with my cat pawns
Exactly as this game should be played
Cool idea. I've just typed as fast as I can
And this is just a proto-type! (Get it? Proto-type? Like, cause it’s about typing and it’s also super roughly made? Hahahahahahh)
This is a really cool idea! Looks great too. Awesome job :)
Much appreciated!
You really should of called the game something else. I expected something a lot worse. I really enjoyed the game, and the music was a perfect match.
Yeah, that’s a good point. It’s not as meme-y as the title suggests! Glad you liked it!
Nice idea, very good feedback with both audio and visible typing mistakes, it felt very natural to find the correct keyboard smashing rhythm.
Thanks!
Like the idea. The game and the graphics came out quite well. Overall it was a decent game and a good effort.
Thank you!
