This is *really* cool, love the concept, and the presentation is fantastic.
On my second attempt, I exited my barrel roll early and died? Not entirely sure what went on there, but aside from that it was an absolute joy the entire time. The hazard indicators were nicely handled, and the backgrounds were gorgeous.
Yeah, we found this bug after the jam. It's a timer problem, when you type too fast.
Thanks for your kind words !
Ridiculously fun. Loved both the soundtrack and the presentation.
Great game, my only real complaint is that it gets slow once you figure out all of the languages and it starts looping, maybe it should speed up then?
When you came back to Night City the speed of the game is multiplied by x1.2 but yeah, it not really significative.
Very fun, managed to "loop" (go back to night city). Simple concept, good execution, hampered by slight issues:
- Do a barrel roll prompt deletes current text (even if you are typing the words for "down" or "up"), this means that you may not be able to finish a word and crash
- Sometimes you exit the barrel roll early (if you type during a barrel roll?), causing immediate death
- Improper use of your/you're in intro text (just kidding)
Overall, its amazing that this was done in 2 days!
Yes, we found all you've noticed after the jam. And i'm the only one to blame for this typo !
Thanks for your kind words !
I watched this on mark's stream and had to play it, super fun game and really well made! Great job!
I love typing games. Good job!
Found this from the gmtk stream. I love the concept and I think you did a good job here.
This was absolutely hilarious to play.
Didn't expect that changing language twist.
The sudden change to Latin (and then Welsh and so on) gave me good laugh.
Really fun!
simple pero divertido
I love this! One of my absolute favourite entries so far. Felt a bit slow gameplay-wise at times but I love the concept and artwork, especially the language changing gimmick!
Nice !!!! Realy cool concept and art.
solid game! very interesting, very original concept, and very pretty
Love the twist where you switch to other languages, but the challenge seems a little flat otherwise. The levels seem similar apart from the different languages and pre-typing the characters seems to be a general strategy. I recall a previous GMTK game jam entry featured by Mark on his youtube had similar mechanics, but there were more options there so you couldn't just pre-type. Runs out of the music theme at the end too. Otherwise the fantastic presentation nails it!
I love the changing language to one with longer words as a way of scaling difficulty!
Game's art and music are spot on, concept is great too and keeping controls fresh by exploring new worlds is really smart.
Sadly, I can't pass the first level ; when I press the spacebar, the event is not catched by your game but by the browser (FF) - thus it scrolls down.
(But I watched bits of your dev stream so I know about other worlds)
Cool work.
hi, try to play it on Chrome :)
Way better on Chrome, was able to see every world.
And had the opportunity to hear the entire track ! It sounds so cool. (but didn't loop) The fact that it fades at the end of the last world, felt like closure on my typing journey. So nice.
I think it's a very good idea that you have to type your actions.
I feel that that the trick is trying to go up most of the time as it's shorter to write than down !
Did you get to the second level? (~1mn of gameplay) You will see some suprise ;)
Having different languages act as different difficulty's was really cool! The game was also very polished and kept me playing it for a bit!
Cool premise! Might be nice to have 3 lives just so I have more time to get the hang of the game before having to restart. Loved the art and music. Great work
Sorry I couldn't get it to work, I think you might have exported it wrong, I would love to play it if you can tell me how.
Retry to go on the game page, it should work on your browser ❤
Yes it works now, pretty cool mechanics you got there. Sadly my typing speed is not fast enough :3
The is confusing to run on mac, I opened the game and unpacked the zip but all it gave me was a folder and I don't know which file runs it? The screenshots seems interesting
