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
Really cozy and fun to play. I think my typing improved in the short time I played! It would be neat if the opening instructions played out as a playable tutorial instead. I kept getting confused by the 'next word' being above the current word but maybe that is the intended challenge. I sure hope Sylvan is happy with their sweater :)
So cute and PERFECT art, Really enjoyed this one. Best of luck!
we must protect Sylvan (from the cold) at all costs
Cute Art. Cute snake.
sylvan... my beloved....
this is SUCH a cute game im so in love <33 absolutely love how you can make this as cozy or intense as you want (trying to make the longest sweater as fast as i can for sylvan o7). absolutely adorable and charming game <33 amazing work!!
Fun and cute game :)
Oh my god, I love Sylvan! He really made me want to be more careful when typing. Is he your snake by any chance? Here's our egg-eating snake "Yolko Ono".
omg ur snake is so cute!! unfortunately i don't have a snake but i've been wanting to care for one for a long time now. maybe someday in the future :]
Sylvan came to my mind when i thought what if the player asks why the sweater is so long, and i immediately remembered its the year of the wood snake right now and thought snake sweaters would be so perfect :))
Beautiful.
Sylvan took me from 8 words per minute to 2983 words per minute. Would recommend.
6cm
I loved the artwork and Sylvan is SO Cute! i've had a good time paying it!
this is AWESOME and i just have to mention that i have also made a knitting based game which had a stitch multiplier if you stayed in the flow hahaha i thought that was such a funny coincidence :D (doesn't look anywhere near as nice as yours though!!!). ok back to your game -- i love how the knitting motion becomes smoother as you get a higher combo, that worked super well, plus the fact that typing on a keyboard somewhat resembles the sound of needles clacking also was really cool. all in all i loved this so much for real
ur knitting game looks really cool tho!! how do the controls work? when i had the idea of making a knitting game i wondered how i would let the player control the knitting part and worried if my ideas would be a bit too repetitive and boring, so my safest bet was a typing game. but i would love to explore more ways it can work :)
this could be a great game to learn how to type. very nice art style.
