I think Malbolge is my favourite character of this jam. I would like to discover more of his lore. Perhaps through other educational games with jump scares.
Thank you so much! That's an honor.
I was 1 more speling test away.
Speling is very difficult, good game. I hate malbolge. waiting for the "dating" game, aden.
Very challenging! Managed to beat the third level eventually, but had to restart the game a few times because it seemed to get stuck after failing more than once in a row
I was scared, thanks for that :D Felt a bit wonky on the typing.
Thanks! Didn't you play this on stream?
Very cool game! Other than the input box being a bit wonky I really loved it and I'd love to play it again if there are some updates!
I find the direction you took for this really interesting, love the "cursed" part of the game. Same feedback as other people though, really annoying having to delete the previous words you wrote and the time between each screen is very long. Pretty cool though
This was interesting, and i liked that you engaged with the "cursed" aspect. changing the words was rather difficult.
my life has changed forever
amazing 10/10
OK. So after playing this game I had several good and bad opinions about it (which I will list below).
The good parts:
1. The game can be played in the browser and thus is more accessible for players (at least that's why I go to itch.io, for games that can be played on the browser).
2. The sound exists and thus provides a method to receive an auditory feedback (including the jumpscare when you tipe incorectly or if you run out of time).
3. The UI is well done when you have to type the word.
The bad parts:
1. The game has no tutorial and it took me about 3 tries before I understood what to do. Also, the game seem a little bit hard and maybe a dificulty selection may help ?
2. The game seems to move slowly (when you lose a life it takes 10 seconds until the screen with the 3 seals appears again).
3. The full-screen zoom does not work as it should (perhaps because click team does not have accessibility for this like other game software such as Unity). I'll also put a picture below so you can see that I'm not lying.
4. The UI on the main page can be improved a bit (this is more optional considering the type of game you have created).
