This game also WILL be uploaded to the alternative platform Newgrounds with post-jam tweaks and an online leaderboard (I ran out of time for this one lol).

Code lines were also taken from this game's source code and previous projects. Other people like Cielu, hazele, PotatoGameDev, "Obsidian, SuperCookie and Amnayel also contributed with their own silly code lines.

Thanks a lot, streamer Ratio! for trying out microgds!!!
I think I did pretty well for my first run, haha.
One of the best games I've played so far in the jam. the presentation is really polished.
Yes, the presentation may be polished, but the scoring system on the other hand, jumps up to the roofs very easily! 🤣
SuperCool says thanks for playing and the kind words! On the post-jam version I’ll definitevily change some parameters so that you get a more balanced score :).
I really liked the art and the sound. Really good job! :D
Thank you! :] SuperCool wishes you a great day! :D
Really cool idea, you need to remove the exit button from the web build as it breaks the game.
Note that if you hit the exit button on a game, the game will, therefore, exit (in computer science aka.: auto-destroy).
¡Buen juego!
Me dio miedo la voz del alien del tutorial jajajaj
Me gustó mucho la idea, mi único problema es que no sé como hacer el corchete al reves! encima mi teclado es inglés asi que hay cosas que no las hago como mi teclado las muestra y eso complicó un poco /:
Como asi 😭 Jajajaj, la voz del aliencito esta basado en los Text To Speech antiguos que Microsoft daba a sus desarolladores para que utilizaran en sus programa. El especifico busca similaritud en el software mascota virtual BONZIBUDDY, que en realidad era un spyware, pero su voz robotica era una de las cosas que le daba personalidad.
Siento oir lo de tu teclado, es algo con lo que no habia contado. Windows tiene una opción para cambiar de distribucion de teclados. Tal vez si la cambias a tu correspondiente, se te complicara menos el tema de escribir simbolos. Mi corchete revés en distribución ESP se escribe pulsando AltGr + el boton dos teclas a la derecha de la P, y en distribución ENG no se como se hará la verdad pero estoy seguro de que debe haber una manera. De todas formas, muchísimas gracias por probar el juego y comentarme de esto!!!
Mi juego favorito hasta ahora, ya quiero ver ese leaderboard! Buen uso de shaders y buena ui, una idea interesante y divertida para cualquier dev que lo pruebe. 10/10
Muchas gracias por las palabras amables! ^^ REALMENTE queria tener leaderboard para esta jam ya que lo haria super mas entretenido intentar ser el jugador con mayor puntaje, pero no se pudo por tiempo. Pienso lanzar una versión actualizada del juego a Newgrounds, parece que la página incorpora nativamente los scoreboards en sus juegos, asi que lo utilizaré de esa manera. Cuando salga (cuando me apetezca hacerla xd) avisare a todos que quieran.
Awesome! Super funny! I also really loved all the visuals you did
Lol glad you found it funny. Thanks for the kind comment ^^ <3 ~SuperCool wishes you luck with your games!!!
I really wish I could have put into words how fun it was xD it was very charming. Felt like it was made just for everyone in the jam in a sense.
Love this! Deff is a great educational game 100% . Only suggestion would be to perhaps penalize typos and backspaces a little less and reward player for correct lines of code a little more! All n all really e- leet concept! ;)
LMAO I did not think this like an education game at all. It’s just more of a little silly game challenge trying to be realistic with the videogame industry.
About the typos, I didn’t think they would be that punishing, until I realised it’s much more common to commit a typo in these types of texts as I realised. My original inspiration came from keyboards speed tests (specifically this one https://www.typingtest.com/), however these tests give you actual, normal text, not code lines. The use of different capitalization and symbols made the typing challenge more harder than it was intended to be tbh, as committing a typo is much more frequent without the reliance of the Autocomplete code IDEs provide to make your life easier.
I also had in mind correct lines had to subtract at least A LITTLE bit of money because of the premise “everything has a cost” which is true, but in retrospect for a game it is a bit counterintuitive and therefore, stupid. Although it doesn’t really mind because production costs will massively go under your sells money because of me not knowing how to balancing works 😄 but Oh Well.
Thanks for the comment and the feedback! It will be taken into consideration. SuperCool thanks you for making their company the best possible!
Yessir auto fill line has become my best friend! This deff has alot of solid content and typing games alone are very educational and i remember playing them alot when i was a kid to get faster at typing :D Nice work fr
Pretty interesting concept! I love the mix between godot and unity code lmao 😭
VERY NICE VISUALS! I love it.
Sorry for responding late. Funny enough, you can consider most comments written in Unity (C#) code because I forgot how comments were done in GDScript, so I got them confused lol. I also asked for code lines to friends on the discord, Cielu gave me some more, and if you played his game, you will know he works with Unity.
Thanks a lot for the nice comment :-) SuperCool appreciates your support : D
Funny if you know how to type!
No need to worry. SuperCool Inc. provides a BRAIN-TYPING-o-tron to redirect your thoughts to the computer. That way you can think of the line you want to write, and it will write automatically into the console!
No one gets to excuse out of cheap massive-game production 😈…
I-I- meant very well-produced games! SuperCool would never do such a thing….
This is a very unique idea! I love how I lose so much money for making a single typo! I totally see myself playing this game in the future!
The idea went through lots of iterations, it was first supposed to be a story game about a game developer working in a game company, that tried to convey the message that “corporation and industry kills creativity…” and such. But I realised that was kinda sad, and there was no way I would finish it on time.
So I decided directly putting you on the game developer’s seat for you to know how it feels! Although, it’s kinda pointless, because we all already have an idea.. everyone here has submitted a game and therefore already knows how the process of making one feels like. But I still wanted people to be more conscious how tricky it is to actually manage your game in a “professional” space.
IDK if I succeeded at implying that, but the most important thing is that you enjoyed it! And yes, a typo in a line code immediately causes other 30 scripts to break. Why? I wish I knew.
Anyways, a Newgrounds release with the online leaderboard and more balance updates is planned to release after the jam, so I’ll notify you when it releases in case you want to play more in the future ;).
~SuperCool SUPER THANKS your SUPER SUPPORT!
Liked the idea! In some way, similar to mine, in doing something with typing. Very fun game!
Ooo more typing!! I’ve got to try it! Thanks for playing! ~SuperCool thanks you for your support :-).
You are all encouraged to post here your crazy scores, you are High Score-Chasers after all! Just.. don’t end up like I did… (REAL GAME PICTURE 😭)
Typing, ain't my strongest suit, I shall use this for my daily training of improving my typing. Anyways amazing game!! The graphics/visuals is really nice. Yeah idk what to say now.
Yes, you shall! That code isn’t gonna write by itself, and that money isn’t gonna be gained by itself either!
Thanks for being the first person to rate! Happy you liked the visuals, they were very entertaining to do :-).
~SuperCool thanks you for your support! <3
I love typing games! Not to brag but I'm a bit of a High Score Chaser myself when it comes to typing. Every single time I'm on typeracer, I get bot checked because I'm just that good eh. That being said, I apparently do not have the muscle memory to quickly and accurately type gdscript lines hahaha. I had to slow the hell down.
Big fan of the choice of sound and music! The MSN notification tugged on my heart a bit.
PS: I'm proud to say I received 0 investment. I'm a TRUE indie.
Impressive typing skills, I didn’t figure you as the typeracer hardcore guy! Too bad I didn’t add so many Unity lines, I can see that my game’s scoring system would have been obliterated under your hand if that was the case.
Happy to hear you found joy in the game’s soundtrack and SFX. Searching which music to use was definitely one of the most fun things while I was making this game. Kevin MacLeod is the best lmao.
You are as sweet as always :). Thanks for being one of the first people to rate this game, and much more for playing!!
~SuperCool thanks you for your support! <3
