I like the story of how the game was made, amazing that your whole family made a game together in such short time! :D
Minor complaints (I played web version so might have just been that also I guess) is that it doesn't detect my typing at the rate I type. And music is a bit loud, but other than that a great game! :)
Thanks!
Sorry for the too loud music, we'll try to do better next time :)
We had the same problem as you: typing to fast is not well handled because each character must be entered once at a time: if you "release" the first character after you start "pressing" the second one, it does not work well. I use the new input system of Unity (if you are familiar with it) and I'm not comfortable yet with it.
Ah I see, I understand what you mean! :)
I love the presentation, your family did a good job there. :)
The gameplay is cool. I wished for a bit more feedback to my actions from the game itself. For example I was unsure if my typing actually worked the first couple of tries, because seemingly nothing happened. I realized later on, that the word I was typing was highlighted on screen.
Maybe some typing audio might help, or making the highlights more obvious? I don't know.
Other than that I really enjoyed it.
Thanks!
Yes, typing an noticing the green characters is not quite easy, we had no time to think of a better (or any) solution.
Maybe we could put the word bigger and in the center of the screen as soon as you start typing the correct letters, we'll think about that!
Took me a while on the first level - I didn't know what Capuçon meant :D
Would have liked it if it was level based rather than a long, continuous game
Great art and teamwork!
Yeah, my daughter was lucky enough to see him and started cello last year :D
We had no idea nor time to make different levels, so it ended up only one big scene unfortunately ;)
Thanks for your comment!
I love the story behind the dev! Those drawings are super cute.
It was a bit too punishing to start from the beggining at every mistake, I didn't have the patience to do all 18 levels. I found one bug : in the English version for the sentence "Both toasts are good" the word "Both" is already filled and therefore I didn't understand why it failed when i tried to write "are".
All in all it was fun to play
Thanks a lot, I will forward the message to all of them :)
Thanks for the bug, we fixed it and I uploaded a new version with a slower start and increasing difficulty. Also, if it goes too fast at the end, you can continue instead of restarting from the beginning.
It's so awesome that you did this with your family :) Overall, this is pretty hard (I picked French, but I'm answering in English so that everyone can understand), but visuals are awesoooome !
Congrats et bravo à toute la famille :)
Thanks a lot for your comments! I've just uploaded an easier version (also with a "continue" button if you fail).
Words fall much too fast for me to read them, think if they match with senetence, and start typing.
I could not get 1 point :(
You're right, it's pretty fast, that was one thing we wanted to change but had no time to do so. The intent was to have a slow motion first, then increase the speed. We'll post an update after the votes!
My daughter and I were unable to go through the first stage :/
Perhaps some hints would have help us.
Nevertheless, we loved the design and the childish atmosphere!
Thanks a lot!
There are 18 sentences in total, and the words you have to enter have a slightly different color, I know it's difficult. My son was able to enter some sentences but it was way more difficult for my younger kid.
I've just uploaded a newer version with an easier starting speed and also a continue button to allow retrying without restarting from the first sentence!
