i love this game! the typing sound is perfect! i wanna make sylvan the longest sweater for him to be cozy forever! thank you for this! my score was 7814 stitches. really well made game that made it fun to keep going and not miss.
so cute! wish i could type : /
This theme is absolutely adorable, and the café jazz music fits perfectly. Also, shout out to whoever made that incredibly realistic knitting animation. I think this game is a testament to how far you can take a fairly simple mechanic with a compelling narrative, high-quality aesthetics, and a lot of attention to the player experience.
I didn't realise I wanted to play a typing game so much!
ngl, one of the best games I've played this Jam. ;)
Nice work!
I loved the knitting animation and very cute snake! Would have loved to see the snake in the sweater at the end but I guess you didn't have the time to do that.
As a non-english speaker, I did a lot of mistakes trying to type the words, my sweater is too short for Sylvan :')
I loved the artstyle (i like cute little snakes <3), it was very enjoyable to play it and I hope that with all the player Sylvan gets a very warm and long sweater !
Perfect addictive gameplay loop.
The art and music are just wonderful.
Loved this.
Super cute fun lil game! I love the art! I was wanting to see a game that interpreted "loop" with a craft involving yarn as I do textile crafts for fun. I also love typing fast and racing others, so I thought that mechanic was a simple and clever way to create the stitches. I got 228 inches in 2:30 (I forgot the # of stitches). ^-^
One thing I didn't realize the first time I played, though, was that the caps lock key decreased my "health" bar. I often play with the caps lock key in between typing, so I had to consciously avoid that, but this is probably not a problem for others.
An absolutely delightful concept, love it~!
(my one very very minor
not really a'complaint' is it threw me off not putting space between the words. Though probably more for having spent too much time on typeracer et al. But then it wasn't a race now was it ^^; )and I failed for confusing the next word with current. Whoops!It's rally funny i love it !
Omg i had so much fun with this!!! very addicting!
This is fantastic ! the vibes are Simply Unmatched, Amazing Job !!
did u rotoscope the knitting needles? the effect is really cool there :v
thank you ! yes, i did rotoscope myself knitting :]
What a cute idea for a game! Loved the sound design for the knitting. Very lovely detail!
This game is so freaking cute and excellent! I absolutely love this!
Decided to play this one cause the knitting animation looked very cool in the gif. The snake is so very cute! The narrative is so wholesome and delightful! Instructions were a tad wordy imo but not an issue hehe. HAHA the reveal of Super duper then twang short has perfect comedic timing. I think having the second word on top was a bit confusing I kept going to try type it lol I managed to get to 80cm on my third attempt! Overall a very charming game, fantastic work!
Very cute idea, wish it was orignal music though
Here's a video of my playthrough, which contains my feedback. I play your game at 2:08:44
just watched your playthrough, i really appreciate the real-time feedback! ill make it case-insensitive after the jam and make the tutorial simpler and interactive. thanks for playing :]
For the tutorial, I really don't think you need all that text. The game isn't super complicated and actually could probably be intuited by 80% of players with no tutorial at all. Imagine if the original Super Mario Bros. started with a wall of text explaining all of the obscure mechanics of the game and a list of enemies and all their abilities. It would be completely unnecessary. That's kind of what you're doing when your tutorial spends most of the space explaining the scoring system.
This was so cute! I like how you just keep going and going as long as you can and get results at the end with your stats displayed. The graphics are SOOOOO adorable and everything is so easy to pick up and get started on playing right away. Music is wonderful too! It would be cool to see an extra timed mode if possible to see how many stitches/rows you can get done in a minute or something. Amazing game!!! <3
ooo, i'll see what i can do with extra modes and more customizability. thanks for playing!!
Lovely Art !! I am very bad at typing fast so I appreciate the lack of timer lol
