Use of the limitation
The portal will use the powers of chaos to distract, disturb and deceive. But the player might have a chaotic trick of their own...

Wow! It starts with that lit demon face and it catches you till the end!
To be honest it takes sometime a bit too much text to type but I still appreciated the whole story and the ending :) really clever use of the theme and limitation. And well the atmosphere was really stunning, I was that lil robot fighting the portal of chaos.
The big demons with big names were perfectly represented. Not much to say, it's a pretty good entry!
One thing to add maybe, you could've add some challenge by using some memory for the name until they reach a certain distance to you. If you remember the name, you can destroy them directly or wait for them to be closer or something.
Thanks for playing! Definitely a fair point regarding the text, in retrospect I think I should have saved more of the thematic stuff for later in the game as typing paragraphs when there's no external threat can easily get tedious. Something for me to work on for future titles!
Really intruiged by your idea regarding remembering demons names - would be really cool to match that mechanic with some kind of ghost enemy that phases in and out!
Awesome, my favorite game for this jam. Great challenge, great tension, great presentation, the finale is awesome, rewarding, fun.
Thank you so much! Really glad you liked the game :)
I loved the art style. The choice of color really fits the atmosphere and the way the letter shakes when your on it is amazing!
Thanks so much! Always fun working within a really limited palette :)
Wow this was hands down my favorite game I've seen so far, the typing mechanic was so great I'm kicking myself for not thinking of it myself. The art was great and I loved the chaotic part at the end. Make it longer and you could easily publish it on Steam!
Absolutely thrilled with this comment - thank you so much! Delighted you enjoyed the game
Agree this could be a steam game.
Oh, what a game!
It starts off simply enough with the concept of a typing game in Story Mode (and you had won me already when I waited for the tutorial text to advance... only to realize I had to type in the tutorial text!)
But then the game plays around with mechanics beyond your expectations - jumbling letters, undoing written words... You took a good concept, and made it very, very interesting!
Bravo, awesome entry!
Thank you! I had so much fun coming up with ways to mess with the player, particularly that first tutorial page - it was one of the first bits I thought of once I'd come up with the concept, and sold me on this being an interesting idea to pursue, so delighted that it worked for you :)
I really like the trick at the end !
Thank you :) glad you enjoyed it
So i love the concept, typing out words to slay monsters. But i hate that when you die you need to restart all the way at the beginning, and re-do the tutorial. And after i died once, i was not able to finish the tutorial? In the very first sentence you have to type out, i was stuck at the last word because the game just didnt progress.
Thank you for playing and for the feedback!
Your comment on not being able to skip the tutorial is absolutely spot on, and it really should have occurred to me to add it before I published as I'd already implemented it for playtesting purposes. I've uploaded an updated version of the game for Windows, OSX and Linux with this feature added (the browser version will remain the original through the duration of the voting period).
I can't seem to replicate the bug you encountered on replaying - do you have any more details regarding what was happening in game so I can try and fix? Not a problem at all if not.
Cheers again for your comment - really do appreciate it :)
After restarting itch it worked again, and i cant seem to replicate it anymore either, so just ignore that. Thank you for the positive response though, i have seen other game devs reacting far more toxic.
No worries - thanks for trying it again! Always grateful for feedback, I'd like to improve so it's incredibly helpful to me :)
Super creative and a very challenging (yet fair) game! Without spoiling it I very hesitantly followed one of the instructions and was pleasantly surprised! I really love how it looks and sounds as well.
Thank you so much! Glad you had a good time with it :)
