Nice concept. A little hard to type and dodge at the same time. Maybe the reload mechanic makes things to complex.

Interesting idea! But it is very hard to press words and move.

I didn't have an issue with the sensitivity after I realized it auto aims once I started typing the word. Enemies would stack on top of each other making it difficult to know what word you're looking at. Maybe you could add some sort of stopping distance between enemy transforms in they become with in X radius of each other. 🤷‍♂️

All a suggestion. Fun time though. Excellent job on the reload animations too btw 😁

Controls were incredibly frustrating and reload time felt so long but this was really well done. I think adjusting the controls a little would definitely increase the fun factor.

Oh no, I've just killed a family in this game! 

Cool idea. Reload time takes to much time: few new words spawn while you reload, so you soon find yourself overwhelmed by the words swarm.

Developer

Thank you for playing! I appreciate your feedback! 

  • When you collect the yellow objects you get extra ammo capacity.
  • Pressing RETURN you reload anytime
  • Holding SHIFT you'll enable bullet time :)

Great idea and very well executed! I think it would be easier to control if the mouse wasn't necessary, but otherwise, such a fun game!

Submitted

Fun idea! As others have said, having to take my hand off the mouse to type does make it  difficult bordering on frustrating. Other than this, its one of the more fun typing game entries I've play, good job!

The concept is creative, it reminded of "The Typing of the Dead", but with movements, nice!

The only flaw for me, it is the usage of the mouse for the view, indeed I found really hard to be efficient in the game, because I couldn't have all the time my two hands on the keyboard. I know it is a part of the concept, but I think with a "lock" system on enemy like Dark Souls, where you can switch target with a non-letter key like space bar, so with this it could have avoid to struggle with the mouse & have the two hands on the keyboard.

Overall good job!

The sensitivity is too high X_X, but the typing was very fun nice combo!!!

Submitted

Nice one! fun to play

Submitted

Interesting idea but a bit difficult because you don’t know where the enemy are coming from! Also the sensitivity was too high for me. I like the music and the animation. I would like more diversity in the words. I made a typing game recently and I used a big list of words found on the internet. You just pick some randomly which ensure the player doesn’t encounter 5x the same word.

Good job!

Submitted

I cants nots type good. Was fun game tho.

Developer(+1)

Hold shift next time. It gives you bullet time so you can type slowly with no problem! Thank you for playing! 

Submitted

Jesus that sensitivity! Apart from that I like how the mechanic was implemented!

Submitted

I found it really fun, but the reloading felt like it broke up the typing rhythm when you reload so I ended up dying not because I can't type quickly enough, but because I got blocked from typing at all.

Developer

Thank you for playing! Collect the yellow spheres to extra ammo. So you you don't need to reload often.

Very cool!

Loved the idea and the impact that sound and animation deliver!

Found some bugs like:

-Can walk on the bottom of the map;

-If two words start with the same letter and you press that letter the gun becomes unable to shoot;

Also, it's kinda hard to coniugate the mouse movement with the keyboard inputs.

Walking down the map is not actually a bug, you really can do it and often use a grenade to get beck on top.  I may fix the "words that start with the same letter" bug. Thank you for your feedback!

very creative and fun but where is my highscore?

good job finishing the game :D!

Developer

Highscore wasn't implemented yet in this version, so you must keep track of it yourself checking the up-left corner. 

Submitted

very high creativity 

you did it nice but i cant control type and mouse at one time

Submitted

love the game concept .... I think it will be better for moving with arrow keys instead of WASD

looks like I forgot to post my comment - I'll delete this if is duplicated after

I loved it! Have always wanted a cool typing game! Got a 30-40 score..

There seems to be a small bug when typing out the last characters and running out of bullet at the same time, the characters are gone but not cube, I'd need to then retype the last few characters of that word again to make it count.

As for personal preference, I'd like more if it wasn't necessary to use the mouse every now and then, it sort of "interrupts" your typing.

One additional idea might be using "Tab" to focus/aim between targets, so this makes the mouse less needed except for moving around.

Nice game!
