Love the presentation! Easy to understand without instructions too.

This was fun! It took me 10-20 seconds to figure out I had to type the keys I saw, for some reason I wanted to click on the bugs instead. But once I understood the controls, the game was fun. Sound design and art are really good, and the keys popping up when you click them is very good feedback for the player, I liked that a lot. Well done :)

a really nice game, with nice effects and cool feedback sounds. great job!

Funny one xD enjoyed it , I Just wish if the bugs don't cover they key completely ( it becomes harder to guess the key from the neighboring keys

I love it! The animations and the music are really cool! Feels really immersive to see the keys you press splashing a gremlin, good work :D

The keyboard sound is amazing. Fancy idea. The more goblins, the merrier! I realized there was not really much of a penalty of keeping the goblins on the keyboard so its accuracy over everything else. 

Nice simple game!

Nice usage of the theme too :)

That was really fun. I love how the goblins cover the key so you can't see what it is. Had to keep looking at my keyboard to get the correct key.

fun game!

Absolutely fantastic!

Fits the theme perfectly, graphics and art style are great, music is so chill, sound effects are bang on, and the gameplay is fun!

The anti-key-spamming mechanic where wrong keys are tied to your lives is very clever; it rewards proper typing and play without feeling too stressful by being tied to a timer.

I can usually type pretty well without looking at the keyboard but this made me realize I can only do that when I’m typing full words…

Perfect game!

P.S. I stayed on the start screen for way too long just listening to the music and tapping keys. Very satisfying.

<3 I spent way too long making the start screen so that you could freely tap the keys as much as you want XD

Okok props for the clever take on the theme haha that felt real punchy and fun! Just wish I was a better typist :P Congrats!

I love when people take meta decisions on the theme. Out of Control. Good one!
Also the point when the control key slid and they started coming out of it, I almost fell laughing from my chair. :D

Cute game! Doesn't really have anything to do with the theme aside from the joke that they come out of “Ctrl”, but I like games that use the controllers in weird ways.

I like it, it's really nice and polished. It misses something to give it more replayability, but still, good game

Submitted(+1)

Well polished typing game :D (Altough having my z and y keys swapped made it more difficult for me haha)

Developer(+1)

Haha, sorry I couldn't support different keyboard layouts, I definitely would have if I had more time!

Submitted(+1)

This is a fun game! The visuals are great! The gameplay is simple but intuitive and enjoyable! Well Done :D

PS: If you'd like, please check out my game! We also use the keyboard as a mechanic, but in a different way :))

Submitted(+1)

Great game! Challenging, fun and looks good! :)

Submitted(+1)

Well polished, I like the atmosphere and interesting take on the writing games.

Submitted(+1)

Haha why didn‘t I thought of that? Very original concept and the gremlins are so cute. We’ll done!
