post jam, please!

Developer

if you're talking about a post-jam update then i plan on it! evntually!

yay

It feels like you don't have enough time to complete the minigames, especially with the dual typing minigame. Also, some combinations don't appear and some genres from the completion screen just don't appear at all, but that's understandable since, you know... game jam. Other than that, this is pretty fun!

Developer

That's fair, i think i ended up balancing the typing/typing minigame around a target WPM of 70 or 80 so if you type slower than that (like the majority of people on Earth) you're screwed ๐Ÿ˜ญ I wanted to make the timer really tight to challenge the player to get better on subsequent runs, but the problem with typing is that you can't really improve your WPM over the short term. Regardless, I probably should have erred on the side of longer. Thanks for playing!

This is quite a treat -- I am amazed that you managed to implement so many genre combinations within the time limit. I don't think the game needs a lives system, though, since it's core appeal is the exploration of genre combos. I think it would work much better if you just kept the game randomly matching genres until the player cleared all combos at least once, then opened up a free genre select.

Ty! I'm amazed too, I ended the first day with just the architecture and one (1) genre implemented and I thought this project was doomed for sure. Also, that's not a bad idea, though I do like the challenge offered by the lives system -- maybe a "free play" mode is in order :)

wow, this is by far one of the most funs games ive played! I would love to see an expanded version with more genres and more levels for the existing genres. Great job!

Developer(+1)

Tysm!! I would definitely love to expand this game... I had 6 other genres planned (racing, puzzle, fighting, VN, sports, trivia) and I wanted to procedurally generate levels and stuff. Who knows when I'll be able to get around to it though, hah
