If you have implemented the modifier, how have you done so?
seems excessive to have sfx for a terminal game but eh.

Any additional information for voters?
beans.

As a GenZ-er, I can never understand why someone would like to use vim over an actual IDE.

Why memorize all those buttons and switching different modes, when you can just move your mouse? Did you forget your mouse on the car or what?

Vim is so bad it's not even funny. (not this game though which is cool)

because it's  cool B)

this is an amusing video making fun of vim tho which you might appreciate https://youtu.be/9n1dtmzqnCU?si=wEenovyeG20ArZPw

After thirty seconds I remembered why I use nano.

It's an interesting idea, but I'm not sure if it makes for a fun game. It is, if nothing else, suitably cursed for this jam.

Developer

yeah I agree. It's not very fun. I didn't have long to work on it with work and chores and all that.

That was really cool!

I had the double-pressing issue when trying on Windows, so I booted up my Linux install that  I seemingly hadn't used in over a year 😳

I feel like I learned more about vim in the process for better or for worse!  I definitely found that ^ was pretty OP to get to where you wanted. Maybe vim should nerf that command 🤷‍♀️

Other than that, the SFX were perfect, and that game was actually quite fun to play. Thanks for submitting such a unique entry!

I am utterly speechless. Never used vim so yeah I don’t entirely get the joke, but honestly I felt pure joy with this experience. Bravo!

(Have noticed a slight bug on the windows build - keeps duplicating my inputs for some reason, idk why, so it keeps moving the line twice instead of once, and ofc it’s a bit hard to close vim when :q<ENTER> becomes ::qq<ENTER><ENTER>. but then again chances are I’ve probably done something unexpected on my end in the meantime ~~such as not running it on linux~~ so 🤷‍‍♀️)
