  • This is an interesting idea for a game! Like Epistory (which you listed as an inspiration in your GDD), Cascade Protocol feels like a unique twist on the typing game genre (which used to be pretty boring). The art style is really cool and definitely fits with the computer/computer virus vibe that the game has overall. The music is really catchy and does a great job at aligning with the pace of the game. Although I really liked the concept, I wasn't able to actually figure out what words I was supposed to type because the letters began approaching on the screen before a word ever appeared for me. You might consider either slowing down the letters or delaying them so they start a little bit later on the first word. I imagine you might increase the speed to make the game more challenging over time, but the other challenges (like the boss behavior) sound effective as well. Overall, cool game concept! I really wished the words would appear because I can see myself playing this endlessly.

Summarise your game!
It's a typing game where you try to reach the highest score. As you type words you capture and connect to them.

Please explain how your game fits the theme:
As a computer virus you're a weapon destroying data and infecting everything you can.

Fun little game. I like the idea of creating a web of files based on where the typed phrase is in the world. A little jank in terms of accidentally typing phrases that are offscreen or words instantly spawning on top of your folders. Good work!

Thanks for playing and for the feedback! ๐Ÿ’œ

Great little game I loved typing games in school. Only problem I had were words spawning and instantly running into folders before I could see the first letter. Fun submission though! Surprisingly the second typing game I've seen in this jam.

Thanks for the feedback! ๐Ÿ’œ I've seen a few typing games around but it's definitely a bit of a niche

Really like the idea here! Gameplay is fun, art and music is great! I like the web that is created as you correctly type in the words. My only point of feedback would be to zoom out the camera slightly more as your web expands. It becomes very difficult after a certain point, but very fun still. Great work!

the game is maybe a little too hard (camera too small at the beginning) but still very fun, the music is good and the art too, the links to a folder created when you type is a nice touch, very nice job !

Very cool! I liked the webbing effect and the difficulty felt tuned.

This game is great. Idk if I feel like the weapon but I'm certainly hurting myself when I type the wrong things and eveything goes down hill from there.

Weapon is in the eye of the beholder... ๐Ÿ˜„ Thanks for playing!

Fun game, interesting how writing longer words is somehow easier than single characters (atleast for me)

Developer

Thanks for playing! I guess it could be easier to get into a flow when typing whole words?

Please make the game window bigger, some of us old folk csn't react fast enough at a small scale.

Thanks for playing and for the feedback ๐Ÿ˜Š
