This is a tricky one, but fun. I wish there was a little more feedback to tell me if I pressed the keys on time, but still great work.

It takes some time to really understand how to play, but this concept is incredible, I love it !

Shared HealthAmazing game! I'm a big fan of your game concept. It's a fun experience, although gets more and more challenging as the game progress. At the end I was just pressing random letters XD Anyway, really good job!

To the middleReally nice and original concept, technically it is a good too. Maybe it will be better if the game checks other pressed buttons too, to exclude pressing many at once. Also, female intro voice is very good too :D

Chained by GloryOne of my favourite games in the jam! The funky music was perfect, and the way it changed dynamically as you did better or worse was so cool! It also ended up being way more difficult that I expected to remember which key was witch when you wanted to switch, but in a goo way!

HodgePodgeOh gosh, I didn't think I'd struggle so much since I'm a strong typer. Once I held the key I totally forgot which one it was lol. Highly impressive game! Love all the art, music, and voiceacting! I think having a slight blink or something when swapping out letters would be nice to help refocus attention.

Chick ListThis is a blast to play! It's also a blast to watch someone else play, sort of like watching someone in an arcade playing DDR. You could lean into that vibe a bit with a score that builds with how many keys you've pressed correctly, if you wanted to.
I am not a fan of the font used for the keys, though. I got confused between H & M and D & O, and when the game starts to move fast, there's just not enough time to decipher which letter I'm seeing on the screen. Save the (admittedly fun) buddle font for headings, but have the keys remain in a more legible font, please!
Also, it's possible to "break" the game by just holding down every key on your keyboard through the whole game. It's hard to do, but it still is a way to kinda "cheat". Maybe have it so you have to lift the button press before starting the next one?
Finally, I just wanted to say that the music is excellent. Not only is it fun to listen to, it also matches the pace of the game well, and it makes it easier to keep the pace of the key presses!
Overall, this is a really fun game! Great job!

Ray MazingThe music and visuals really are fantastic. The only problem I have with the game is that it is made in Unreal. For some reason my machine hates running unreal's bloated game build files lol The game ran kind of slow for me because of this but other than that it was a fun idea (I like typing type games, those were some of the very first type of games I ever made like 13 years ago) so this had a nostalgic feel to it for me. The voice work and ambient sound was also excellent!

Enemy FusionThat is one funky game. The music is banging the mechanics are easy to understand but hard to master. It looks pretty good and plays smoothly.

Cyro - Ball and ChainCool concept, I actually enjoyed playing a few rounds, it gets difficult quite fast but thats a good thing.
I really liked the art style and the game is fun overall.
Please take some time to review mine if you can

AstroDriftAwesome job! It was easy at first but once it threw in the 3+ keys, I realized why it's called key twister lol. I really like all the artwork, the music, and the voiceover, very well polished!
