Great game! Is amazing!
I didn't find a restart button, that could help, te not that good at typing as me hahah
I didn't think people would play it twice in a row 😁
Fun game, but hard to play on a non qwerty keyboard
I'll have to add an option for that
I didn't expected this to be as fun as turned out to be, nice work! as other pointed out in comments below, is usually better to leave buttons like alt or ctrl out when planning to use on web, but very nice game in general!
I didn't want to leave out Ctrl because of the pun, but others like "alt" I should have removed :(
Some of my keys differed from the keyboard layout in the game (like z and y), but it was still fun the play anyway!
Thank you for playing, :) if I continue working on this I'll add a keyboard option
Please add credit to Edvard Grieg for the music.
I really enjoyed this, I love the concept and I ended up having a good time trying to press the keys in time with the music, however a few things to be aware of. Firstly any time I pressed Alt the game would pause and I had to click back into it which was very annoying but also disrupted the flow of everything. Secondly remember that different keyboards are configured differently so where my apostrophe is (') was a completely different location to yours so that made it difficult to follow. All in all it needs improvements but I enjoyed it
Thank you, I was caught by surprise with the Alt issue, since it only happened in the browser. If i continue working on the game I will ad some layout options definitely :D
While good in concept this game falls really short in execution. The colors of the keys that will give you points is so similar to the color of the normal keys that I could barely even tell there was a difference. In addition this game is essentially unplayable if you are not using a standard qwerty keyboard. I personally use a 65% keyboard so a lot of the keys you needed to press don't exist for me without a combination of key presses, which doesn't work at all for for this game. The keyboard in the game also doesn't look particularly good and could've definitely used some more work.
I wanted that the search for the keys with points to be part of the game, this is the reason why the colors aren't brighter. Not sure if it was a good idea, but that was my intention.
Actually, I didn't except this to get so fun. The buildup with the music and the keys being disabled is really well done. I had fun, good job!
I saw 3 more games that in this jam that had the same idea for the music :))
Nice job! This game is definitely a creative take on the theme, I like how it uses the keyboard for gameplay. Well done! :D
Thank you for playing! ^_^
I really like games that use the keyboard as a layout, but unfortunately all of the games are using the american keyboards (at least that's what I think this one is), because it is for sure not a German one. That made the game very hard for me, because I just could press some of the buttons and they were racking up points which was really sad...
In the end I was able to win because there were only the left control key left which I just spammed to get the last points that I was missing. I don't know if that is intended or if it is a bug.
But not taking all the keyboards into account for a game jam is very common. Most noticeable with Z and Y.
The graphics could be a little more flashy and juicy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fy0aCDmgnxg
Overall solid entry for a game jam game.
Ah yes, the control bug. I meant it to be there, but i didn't know it would be so overpowered :)). Thank you for playing!
So? It wasn't a bug, but a feature? Because keeping bugs in the game is usually not a great idea :D
Btw. feel free to check out our game. Would be appreciated to get your feedback on it.
it was a bug that it gets easily stuck on Ctrl, you should only button mash Ctrl when it's the only key left. I'll check the game out :D
Very fun game, I love the keyboard "losing control".
The idea of game based on keyboard is nice and innovative. However, different keyboard layouts with some keys missing (I have only CTRL on my keyboard) make the game confusing. Also sometimes the game frozed and mouse input was required, not sure if it is intentional. Otherwise it looked nice.
Hello, thank you! The Alt buttons block the game on the browser ;/
Having a differenty keyboard layout made the game slightliy confusing, but it was fun anyways. good job!
I broke a few of the keys on my laptop keyboard so let me tell you trying to play this was hilarious. Absolutely loved it well done!
As long as you didn't break control, everything should work out ok :))
This is so cool, really fun. 5 stars!
I was playing this earlier and forgot to rate it on here, amazing concept.
I like the idea a lot! It's complicated with an azerty keyboard but it adds difficulty ahah
I wanted to give keyboard options, but i had no time
Very original idea! Sadly I am used to the german keyboard layout, so some keys confused me, but thats out of your control (haha)! Thumps up!
I guess it's hard mode!
