Judge feedback

  • This game is simple in concept and very well done. The audio design ads to the feeling that you're a miserable person using negative comments in some sort of online attack. Really great job on the sound design and music/ambiance. It ads so well to the dark nature of the game. I wasn't sure if there was a timer on this or just health. The other messages popping up on screen were nice, but I didn't feel like I could pause and read them. Some of them were cut off as well. Not sure if that was intentional. I wanted my messages to pop up too so I could get more of a feeling for how many I had made. The scaling on the difficulty could be adjusted slightly. A bit more health, or a bit less punishing for mistakes, would be good. It was a bit too difficult and I wanted to be able to make a few more mistakes and play longer before having to try again. I really enjoyed this game! The theme was uniquely and creatively implemented in a very real feeling game. I like the other comments. I did stop and read them and I see so much of all this online that it gave an immersive feel. Great job and thank you for your submission!

Summarise your game!
Keyboard Warrior is a typing game about a degenerate who has nothing to do, but be negative and mean on the internet. The player is sent the empty void of the internet, more specifically the comment section of an online video viewing platform, YouTube, and type out mean comments towards the creator and views of the video. The player must type fast in order to not be overwhelmed by the positive comments other views are leaving.

Please explain how your game fits the theme:
We want the player to attack without using an external weapon and what can a person do that can be more hurtful than physical pain? It is words. Words can be ingrained in a person for a very long time, if not, even the rest of their lives, positively or negatively. We choose “Words as the weapon” as an extension of the given theme.

Is there anything you'd like the judges to pay particular attention to?
Nah. Have fun

Funny idea that could be expanded upon. The core gameplay (typing) at least feels great and fluid. Maybe the available sentence pool could be expanded, i got quite a few duplicates.

Thank you for the feedback! We'll add some more sentences :D
