  • The intro with the lore explanation was so well done! It introduced the mechanic of the game and involved the player in the explanation. The audio design and music are very well done. It gives a pleasant feeling while accentuating the typing and in game actions. By the end of the intro I was thinking: Warrior typists, here we go! achievements were really well done. the in game tips are helpful as well. great job thinking how to keep engagement going in a simple typing situation! The combo and wpm counter in the upper right hand corner are good for the same reason. This felt like a really fun "number go up" game! The number going up at the top was a lovely addition. This was a really fun game. I wanted the enemies to be moving across the screen to create a bit more pressure. Something along those lines to create a bit of movement on the screen. The art and enemies are really well done. I feel pulled into a magical word where words are weapons! This game was a blast and I hope you keep working on it. I can see more levels, different enemy biomes with different types of art, words, music, etc. I would spend many hours in this game playing as many levels as I could. Thank you for your submission to the game jam!
