How does your game fit the theme?
I aimed to create a game with controls so direct that the player would be flailing their arms around as they played. The point which falls "Out of Control" is the player themselves.

What an awesome game! Had so much fun smashing my keyboard and actually felt like a madman just typing nonsensical stuff. Finally a typing game I can get behind!
My favorite of the jam so far :)
Awesome! I really wish I found a better way to communicate that.
Hope you had fun.
This is a really unique way game! Audio and Art are top notch, the gameplay is really interactive, and really works well as a touch typing marathon game lol. Well Done :D
PS: I also made a keyboard-related game, feel free to check it out if you'd like :))
thank you! I'l look right now
It's like if typing of the dead was mixed with whack a mole. I think this actually helped me get better at touch typing by the end of it. The audio and art for the game were really nice without being overly complicated. Good job!
What a fun twist on an input method! Reminds me of whack-a-mole :) Simple bit of fun.
Loved it - The theme, art and music are all great. It’s a very cathartic game to play.
As a fellow typing game maker, I love this! Cool gimmick too!
Very fun game, I love the dark undertones in the narrative.
Had a lot of fun and I'm glad my key caps are rated for 3 million clicks.
My keyboard...nice submission! Btw there are a few gamedesign opportunities for you - for ex. flip the key board at times! :)
I regret that I didn't play piano in childhood as a preparation for this game!
I had $4xx dollars but the spooks got me before I could nuke x''( Curse you keyloggers!!
This must have been sponsored by keyboard manufacturers.
I love the idea and gameplay even though my fingers hurt now. Also I like the graphics: it has nice color palete that's easy on the eyes and doesn't distract you from button mashing.
Issues I've noticed: the soundtrack loop is too short and gets repetitive, and it wasn't obvious that the therapy heals you too (glad I used it when I was running out of
controlhealth)Pretty fun and unique idea. Absolutely caused myself problems by continually hitting the Windows key, but that's on me. :P Liked the simplistic art style, and I've already said I respect any game that uses Bosca Ceoil for its music. Nice work!
Also, here's your bad fan art (accurately represents my flawless strategy):
I love this! thank you
It was fun after imagining that what the screen showed was my actual keyboard as if a "keyboard x-ray vision". Could see a touch-type barrier of entry for my case though. But well done!
try hitting a bunch of keys at once! touch typing skills shouldn't be needed ^^
This could be a nice touch-typing trainer game. I like it
originally the letters were printed on the keys in game, but for some reason during playtesting my flat mates would start looking at keys instead of mashing the keyboard when they played. I wonder how the concept would stand as a typing game where accuracy matters ^^
thank you for playing too!
The keys map really nicely to the on screen keyboard. I noticed the CTRL key does NOTHING... out of control huh? :)
Lovely artstyle, good soundtrack and tight game loop! Good stuff.
I mapped the whole keyboard at one point! but smashing keys like ctrl and alt makes things super fucky!
thank you very much
The ultimate roll-face-on-keyboard game!
Definitely woke up my neighbours, a really fun experience!
Cool game, felt like a hacker in a movie
This is shockingly fun for a game where you are just mashing the keyboard for the most part! Very satisfying and it gets intense near the end. I didn't manage to get the good ending (money was hard to come by near the end) but I had a lot of fun with it. Good job!
