Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous.

  • This was a very fun and addicting game. While I was very good at playing this, I brought help. Someone who needs the practice of the game. I watched them play to get feedback; 1. Words: When creatures are to close to one another the words look jumbled and are hard to read as they flicker over one another. When they stack near your character it gets even worse. 2. The font could use with option types. It's very small and hard to read d and e. Larger text may fix this. 3. Difficulty, for people with issues or learning the difficulty jumps up very fast which may feel discouraging, adding a scale for difficulty or have a casual mode for those who really want to just have practice. 4. Audio; always a hard task, the music is calming and the sound choice is good, adding some alternate sounds to the spells or having some different spells can mix up the sound as it gets very repetitive. Overall the game is very well done, the visual are adorable and easy to took at. The concept is clean and enjoyable. The educational part if always a great route but remember children and people learning will look forward to this type of game to it's always good to have them help test to gather that data to support them on their journey of learning. I used my Niece to help get some of the feedback, she really enjoy the game but ended up frustrated that she couldn't score over 20 without getting overwhelmed and asked if there was an easier mode. I told her you were still working on the game and she looks very forward to seeing it come out. If you haven't seen type racer, it has gradual difficulties if you need some ideas. Having different options for vocabulary types, or word length could help adjust the game to a good practice and study for what people want to learn.

Summarise your game!
Type to Fight is an educational game that lets you practice touch typing the fun way.
A confused wizard forgot all his spells. Can you help him fight the enemies by typing out the magic words?

Please explain how your game fits the theme:
The confused wizard is helpless in a world overrun by enemies. The player has to step in to act as a weapon utilizing their knowledge and muscle memory.

Is there anything you'd like the judges to pay particular attention to?
The whole game is controlled by inputting words with your keyboard. If nothing happens when you type, the game probably lost focus. Clicking on it again should fix this.

Hay man, great game. I was thinking for a while to make something similar, so if you are planing to expand the idea i will be happy to help!

Play twice and still got 63 scores. Guess I am not a good typer. Anyway, the graphic is very cute, and the game is extremely serviceable as a typing game. The difficulty goes up quite quickly but is fair enough too, well done!

Not much to criticise really, it's really difficult elevate a typing game as it's quite a solve genre, but I guess with this art style, you could probably allow character movement like how the textorcist does it (it's one of my all time favorite). I would wish someone can add some light to this genre and make new good games! But I digress.

Anyway, this is a very solid game! Well done!

Thanks for the feedback and suggestions! I wasn't sure how movement could be done in a sensible way, I will have a look into Textorcist :)

Great job, very clean and simple in it's presentation makes it easy to just jump in and go. 

Very smart with the use of typing too, really lights that competitive nature in the player with a skill that everyone has at some level.

This was enjoyable!  Typing to start sets the stage, and what follows when things begin appearing is intuitive.  The visuals are clear and fun, too.  Difficulty seemed to escalate rapidly in the mid-to-high 40s...I noticed your comments on this in replies to other posts - makes perfect sense.  (On my end I simply need to improve my typing speed, haha)

Fun as a stand-alone creation, though I'm definitely interested in seeing where you might take it if you expand on the concept - well done!
