This concept is wacky, creative, and almost perfectly executed! This game clearly shows high levels of Technical Achievement: the game is made in 3D, runs smoothly, and features impressive animation work. It is also polished: given the time frame, implementing a good tutorial is a big bonus. I also really enjoyed the slow-motion cutscene when throwing the super chalk, it definitely added to the flow of the game. The creativity and skill which came together to make this submission is very, very impressive!

Although I thought the gameplay is excellent, it had a few small flaws. I think the game could have been improved if there was a penalty for hitting students that weren't being loud: I found myself simply spamming my keyboard in the later levels instead of using muscle memory to precisely aim. If this system was implemented, I think the game would be a perfect introduction to touch-typing. Additionally, there was a bug where I could push Enter/Return repeatedly before a level started, and that would allow me to skip levels very quickly. Overall, I am highly impressed, well done souls-panic!

Really creative concept, and fun music. Great game!

This is a very creative and fun to play game. I like the use of the keyboard, especially because it helps with theme of education where the player can learn to touch type.
