It's a nice typing game with very good art. Pleasant to listen to as well. Wish it keep counting past 10.
The items I'm very confused about. I only figured out that the items worked because I read the other comments that said they did. (As in: Adding ? or ! at the end of words use items. So does , if you chain multiple words together.) I don't know what the items do. I have no idea where other players learned this information. Did I miss something? Do different versions of the game have different information? (I downloaded the Windows one.)
Cool! What I didn't like is that the word is above the critters. It should be under them so that I can see the word early enough. The word being located above the animal adds false difficulty to the game. The game is nice otherwise! I wouldn't expect to have fun playing a game where you only type. The animals looked so cute! I almost felt sorry for killing them. The bonuses were super. The chain combined with the bomb is an unconventional weapon - it can clear the whole board instantly. Simple, but fun!
By the way, I managed to survive for nearly 20 minutes in my first game. Maybe you should make the game harder, it started to be a little annoying after a while...
Got to level 10 which seemed like the last as it didn't go further up, though still challenging enough to make me lose points more steadily. I love the integration of powerups as special characters, makes for a very seamless experience imo. Great entry!
Made it to level 10 and now my wrists hurt lol. The art style is cute and I also felt kind of bad for the critters, not enough to stop typing but still.
I think the game maybe starts off a bit too slow and takes a while to ramp up, I hadn’t lost a single point until somewhere around level 7, so a difficulty setting would be an improvement there to cater for varying skill levels.
Overall though, hectic fun, nice work!
The art is adorable, to the point where I was feeling bad that the goal was killing the critters :(
I love typing games! I played through to level 6. The words seemed like they were getting harder as I leveled, but I think I need to play even longer before the game becomes a challenge. I enjoyed the addition of the powerups, though not having a space after a comma is evil. 😂 All of the rodents were super cute, and I had fun!
