Well, interesting usage of the theme. Nice job!
Nice concept and love the letters animation !
I like your game nice idea and a good game play
Oh, hello fellow typing game creator! Your game has really satisfying feedback when typing - I played through a few times to beat my score but only managed a 54wpm.
Showing the insults without any context is cool as well. I wasn't sure if I was typing an argument, being insulted, or insulting someone else.
Oh, hello o/ Thanks, I focused on the feedback and stats, motivating for higher speeds/accuracy and self-improvement in typing fundamentals. In contrast, you spent your time creating an actual game with actual gameplay where thinking is increasingly more important than typing - I’m enlightened to see such different approaches to typing games, it motivates me to come up with something more original next time :)
I’m glad the minimalism worked so well, I was kinda afraid of people being lost without any context or even graphics, but it seems the freedom of interpretation was well received.
Cheers, type on!
JOKES ON YOU NARRATOR, I ALREADY HAVE PAWS FOR HANDS
Great game, had me addicted! These insults only fueled me to do better.
HAHA, I originally intended to throw the curses at a particular enemy who would throw some back in turn in a fighting game manner, but as our graphic artist was busy this jam, I had to do without graphics, so I just went with total minimalism and thus accidentally created this freedom for players to interpret the insults in various ways with full plausible deniability for me as dev - I would obviously never dare to insult my kind players… Or at least, you can’t prove it :-p
I’m amused that players like you chose to interpret the curses as personal attacks that fueled them to do better - that’s really awesome :) As the other reviewer put it - “I seem to respond well to a firm hand” - I’ll keep that in mind for future games, MUHEHEHEHEHEHE
Thanks for playing!
man this is a great game even though minimalistic! But that reviewer was right, I was LIVID with insults. The narrator was about to catch these hands if I weren’t busy typing at lightning speeds!!
Good to see another fellow typing game submission here. :)
Absolutely phenomenal visual effects, audio, and background music! I really like how you even have to type in the title screen. Great job!
Hey, you’re the guy who obliterated my dev top score by 46 % with insane 111 WPM :D
Thanks for your kind words, I’m glad I could play another typing game, they’re such a rare breed! While I focused on the details you thankfully noticed and appreciated, you spent your time more on the actual gameplay and game world, it’s interesting for me to compare these approaches.
I plan to create some more typing games in the future, hope to see you around - cheers!
Haha, such a fun game! I had 98.5% raw accuracy, I wish I could've had more! Simple but great entry!
Glad you like it!
When I was tryharding Flawless, I got into a solid rage when I made a single mistake in the last curse several times in a row… but I got it eventually, I just had to slow down few WPM and concentrate. What I’m saying is it’s surprisingly hard to write without errors. Actually, I haven’t seen anyone else submit a Flawless score so far.
I'll ask my mother to try it, she worked in typing her whole life, she can do 65 WPM easy. Thank you for this entry!
Cool, let me know how she fared if you can be bothered :D
I seem to respond well to a firm hand... I think this game made my typing skills better than ever! Great job on the submission!
Haha, nothing like a firm hand, right? I’m very glad you extracted such value from my experiment, cheers!
Absolutely hilarious. Elegant & passive-aggressive game lol
Not the type of curse I was expecting, but I had fun. A minimal but fun concept. Afraid I didn't get into the 60 wpm club, though.
60 WPM club got obliterated by some person who can type at 111 WPM with 99 % accuracy - there’s always a bigger fish, nothing wrong about it.
Cheers!
I really enjoyed your (glorified WPM counter) as you put it hahaha
The visuals of typing in each letter, mistakes etc. are fantastic and engaging while not being overly distracting!! Found myself in the zone of trying to type the fastest I could not only for what I assumed would be a scoring scene at the end but also to follow along with the interesting dialogue!!
Well done!! :D
Awesome! I’ve spent quite some effort on the typing effects (for example, individual letter color is chosen based on time since last type) so I’m glad you appreciated them as well as the curses chosen and that you enjoyed the game as a whole even though it’s just… well, a glorified WPM counter :) Cheers!
