VERY GOOD GAME BRO!!!❣️ PLEASE TRY MY GAME AS WELL , HOPE YOU WILL ENJOY IT❣️

I don't really understand what is going on in this game, but I kind of like the idea of typing the names of chemical elements to save spaceship from taking damage. idk but it stopped working for me on the last level, but I still enjoyed the game

Developer

Thank you for playing! :D

And sorry about the bug you faced. Could you please tell us exactly after which level the issue showed up?

Also in case you missed, there's an "i" icon in the home screen that will show you the tutorial(which we should have kept more apparent). We planned to make the lore and mechanics appear much more clearly within the game but ran out of time. We'll make it much more polished in our upcoming updates!

The game is a fresh one in the jam, and surprisingly fun too.(even tough I hate chemistry)

Developer(+1)

Thanks. We are glad that you like it.

I would love to see more ideas regarding other subjects like biology or physics as well.

Interesting game, man! It just needs a few adjustments to the hitbox. Right now, the ship can get hit even when it seems to be quite far away. :)

Developer

Are you talking about the enemy? Cause the enemy isn't getting hit by the bullets. But rather when you are destroying the words with star it's damaging the enemy ship. 

And the player's ship also gets the health reduced if you don't type within 7 seconds. So there you go. Thanks for playing the game.

Cool game

Developer

Thank you so much.

Needs some polishing but overall I liked the concept. Good job

Developer

Thanks for playing of course we will polish it more after the jam.

This game is simple to play and the "Type to attack" idea is really cool, really looks like something you would play at computer class to learn how to use a keyboard! The typing just feels slow sometimes but besides that, a very good idea and if you fix the slow typing issue this will become even more awesome! :]

Developer(+1)

We will address it. And make sure that it responds instantaneously. Thanks a ton for playing.

It feels like a chemistry version of Z-Type, and really reminded me of my high school days. If you want, you could maybe adjust the movement speed based on each element’s reactivity.

Stressful but exciting — really fun!

Developer

That's a brilliant idea. Thank you so much. Finally, someone mentioned Z - Type. We will definitely try to integrate that. And congrats for topping the leaderboard man. Love it.

You´ve got 5 stars from me! I had to go to the kitchen, while playing your game, so I paused it. Already that you managed to put there the pause button is a big plus! And while in the kitchen for like 20 minutes, I forgot I had headphones playing your music! I did not realize it first after like 5 minutes in the kitchen :)) You´ve chosen such a nice and soothing background music ;) And to the game play, because I love to type with 10 fingers, this was so much fun for me :) I got high in the leaderboard :D Wasn´t even moving the spaceship, just typing hihi :) It is a pitty that games like yours are not discovered more! You managed put in those 9 days so many features in your game. Really great job! Wishing you just the best in your future game developments, you are so good! 

Developer

Thank you so much for rating, noticing so much details and these beautiful complements. Would love to add more features and give it a full release. 

Thanks again.

nice gameplay, i just wish the typing input is instant because i type fast haha, good work tho

Developer(+2)

Yeah, we tried to fix it a couple of times but we ran out of time. We'll patch up a lot of bugs in our next update. Thanks for playing! :D 

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for playing. We will make it happen after the jam. The typing would be instantaneous. No worries.

Interesting game with a great game mechanic, typing to shoot is very fun, game is not really relevant to the theme but great work overall!

Developer(+1)

Thanks dude! Well, we thought that the ship was going up and he's also breaking his shell and aiming upwards so metaphorically we thought this would be enough. Although our second choice was to keep the game's ending a bit stranded, like he would keep going up and further from earth so that "he would keep going upwards"- but it was changed later on. Thanks for letting us know what you think!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing the game. And thanks for commenting. 

How is it not relevant to the theme though? It is literally going to the top. The spaceship is going to the top. Every level the spaceship is going to the top of the screen if you can finish the level. So, how is it not though? Would love to know. 

Submitted

I was under the impression the focus was on the kid's physics book and typing mechanics while in game, honestly didn't think about the elements you mentioned while playing so i didn't see the relevance.

I loved the idea of typing to shoot🔥🔥

nice story and very original game mechanic. i really enjoyed playing it!

Developer(+2)

Thank you!! :D

Some of the comic strips were done last hour so we're glad that it's still likable lol. And shoutout to our game's programmer Zarif for the game mechanic idea. We wanted to implement a lot more mechanics into the game but since it's a Jam, we couldn't. Thanks again for playing! 

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for playing our game. Tried to implement something new. Thanks.

Nice job! I like the concept of typing things to attack and get health. I also appreciate the effort made to create a story and a tutorial page. Congrats!

Developer(+2)

Thanks for playing our game! If you have suggestions then please let us know :D

Very nice game it matches theme anyways because,the rocket is in space and it goes on to the top .

😊 💯 Please rate my game 🙏🏻🥺.

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much. Of course I will. ❤️

Submitted(+1)

okay, that tooo nice of you.

Submitted(+1)

I don't see how it interprets the theme...

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks for your rating and comment. I would like to ask you how does it not interpret the theme? The theme is To The Top. The rocket is going to space and up. And every level makes you go up. How much more literal should the theme be integrated into the game?

Submitted(+2)

Well, the theme seems more of an added detail than something the games based around, although that's just my opinion.
