What a smart way to make people read the dialogues! Frank is a jerk, though :p
Congrats on your entry!
Thank you so much!
Really like the story, couldn't stop typing when i started!
So glad to hear that, thank you!
Really interesting take on the jam! Story is quite intriguing and I now want more! The only thing I have to say is to put a difficulty option or speed option into the game. I'm a fast typer (about 120 WPM), so the game was fairly easy and I was just waiting for the words to appear because they moved a bit slow through the screen. There was also a bug where the words just stopped appearing and I died for no reason. Other than that, it was a really emotional story, and you somehow (very impressively) managed to make each AI have a different characteristic (especially Frank). The music was very soothing, and the colors of the background and words were very calming and matched the vibe of older computer screens. Hope you continue making creative games such as this one and wish you luck in the future!
Thanks a lot, I'm glad you liked the game! And I will see what I can do about that bug, thanks for the feedback!
EDIT: Fixed the bug - I'm going to keep the speed as is, because it works best with the music, which adds to the overall experience
Hey very nice concept.
You could increase the music speed while you increase the text speed. It could keep your rhythm clean while increasing the difficulty.
Thank you! I can look into that, yet I feel like if you have a DnB song, it's going to be too much, still, could be something to look into.
Really nice game more captivating than i had expected at first quite sad there is no way to get back to the point you died and have to go through it all again, other than that awesome game.Good job!
Thanks a lot!
Nice typing game. I especially liked the audio. Typing was very satisfying. Good job!
Thank you!
I really liked everything about the game, I gave up when I died for the third time but t was so fun
Thank you, really glad you liked it!
really creative way to tell a story. I love this game.
Thanks a lot!
I have to ask though: did you manage to get to the end or was it too hard?
Really game! Definitely a unique way of story telling. I had a lot more fun than I had expected with a typing game. Really great job. The music was spot on.
Thank you, so glad you liked it!
On a side note: did you manage to get to the end or was it too hard?
I did not. I think the difficulty was fine. There was a minor bug where I typed a letter that was incorrect, but just happened to be the letter of the next word. That next word had not appeared on screen, so I didn't realize that had happened and kept trying to type letters of the current word. By the time I realized what I was happening, it was too late to finish the first word. I hope that made sense...
Anyways, since this is very much a story-driven game, I think it would be a good idea to implement some system for players to pick up where they left off. I went to retry the game, but had made it pretty far and admittedly didn't want to go through the whole dialogue again to get back to where I was.
Thanks for the reply, that does help me out and I will see what I can do!
