fun twist on the theme and very well executed! i liked how the commands have different syntax (i.e. sometimes you have to just type the players name after the command, sometimes followed by a number). more difficulty/variety that way :) very funny writing too! and eventually overwhelming the player into giving up to end the game is a nice touch for a jam game. having your playtime converted to ms on the end screen made me lol

Loved the game. It's an interesting concept. Well made for the jam!

Great game! 

Your interpretation of the theme is interesting, never seen a typing game where you play inside a command line. 

It would've been cool if you had some basic shell key binds like up arrow and CTRL+R. I'm curious, is Wirtual an easter egg to the twitch "racer" streamer?

while we were testing the game we would press the up arrow often out of habit lol, and yeah theres a lot of references including wirtual!

I really enjoyed it! I guess that I need to get faster at tying lol.

Really cool game, I kept messing up the words lol.

I find the game to be very fun in a way, especially for the game that requires typing. I wonder if it is endless or there is a end game. It's very simple with just texts, and yet this team can make it fun which is amazing to see. I think including a leaderboard will be amazing, to make it competitive.

Great Game! You have made it into my Game Jam Gems Collection haha!

That means I will come back and hope to get a better highscore! It is really fun and also helps me to upgrade my writing skills! 

Love it, thanks!

You have no idea how much I love typing games, especially when there's command inputs. And the premise...! To me, this is the perfect game!

Submitted

Great fun and really well presented - feels like you've got the gradual increase in difficulty just right. Nice job!

Submitted

nice cool concept and clean presentation! it will be better to seperate score and life

Very hard but i like it a lot!

Submitted

i suck at typing but i still really enjoyed this one. Good job guys 👍

Submitted

The game idea was very very interesting. It was difficult to play it but very fun and interesting. The game style is simple but gives that feeling of being the machine and its really good. 

Submitted

clever and fun

I had too much fun with this, the music really makes me feel like a certified HACKERMAN.

Once I got to the score commands I had forgotten the syntax though, it'd be nice to have quick access to the command syntax. maybe there is and I missed it. I can definitely see some lore building up slowly through commands alone, I was picturing some of these players hunting together, perhaps even some pvp going on

Submitted

I am command line

Submitted

That's a nice take!

Submitted

I really liked this. Well done!

Submitted

fun concept, was interesting being in the setting of a terminal and a game at the same time. Well done!

I always wanted to be a server.
