Simple game but an interesting way to fit the theme! I do think fully removing the previously typed letters would help the visibility a bit (and give you the ability to show more upcoming letters!), but I get the appeal of having them "spin" through. Sound was nice too!

Developer

I appreciate your recommendation! Thanks for playing :3

Submitted

Cool game, but too easy, should have had a difficulty slider, never had to even think about what he is doing, pretty good for practicing typing specially for special and numeric characters.

Developer

Bro already mastered this kind of game XD

Submitted

Nice typing game! I liked the juice and the sound effects. I am a fairly quick typist on sites like monkeytype, where there's words, but this helped me remember that I'm actually most used to typing instinctively, from the sounds and feelings and structures of words, I'm not actually fast at typing the symbols themselves. It's strange. Anyway, the thing that interested me the most is your (GMT Studio) profile picture. Is that Elon Musk? Are you a big fan of Elon Musk?

Developer

Elon is my model, to be honest. But glad you like the game!

A fun typing game as i like them. Simple and responsive enough that it feels good to play. Bonus points for french keyboard working out of the box! i've had so many jam typing games ruined by localization

Developer

Oh I'm very happy to hear you have good time with the game! Thanks for your kind words :D Hope someone can use this game for keyboard practising

Submitted

Visuals are great, game is very responsive and it's a very fun concept. The bombs didn't really matter as I was focusing on typing only. Is level 20 endless? I must have played for good 10+ minutes and didn't get to the end :D

I also made a typing game btw!

Developer (1 edit)

Actually in my file, lv.20 has 64 bombs. I apologise for not making a bomb counter, but your score is impressive, there exists a player reached 35k tho :P

Submitted

I have to say that I didn't really pay any attention to the bombs. I was just focusing on writing correctly. I feel like there could have been some clever twist to the writing portion. The game looked nice and felt good to play though.

Developer

My purpose is to make an educational typing game for everyone, includes children, typers who want to relax after stressful work, ... I'm glad you find it fun to play :P

Submitted

Really fun to play, the game is very fluid and the music in the later levels so catchy! I would have loved if the theme revolved around typing passwords, I feel like the bomb thematic doesn't quite fit us typing random character strings

Developer

I'm glad you have fun! I admitted not investing enough on the game core, so the experience maybe a bit monotonous.

Submitted

Creative game. Never thought I would see a typing game in this jam. The sfx and music are  very satisfying. My only wish is that after completing a level there is a menu to go to the next one. Great Game.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! I'd love to make a menu / ending scene but the deadline limited me, forced me to remove all the minor features of the game and maintain the game's polishment :)

Submitted

LOVED this game, satisfying to press every button. Every time. One question, how long does the last level go for? It felt like I was doing it for ages, and I want to know if it ever does end. 

Developer(+1)

maybe I should show the number of bombs remaining tho, thanks for your report!

Submitted

Oddly cozy feeling for being a game about defusing bombs. It's a neat interpretation of a typing game, and pretty fun to play. A bit basic, but there's only so much you can do with the mechanic of typing lol. Solid game jam game.

Developer

I'm glad you felt cozy! Thanks a lot!

OMG, i got 225 score at level 1. Who can BEAT ME???? This is the best game i have ever played!

Developer

nice score!

Submitted

I found it very cozy despite the countdown and the whole defuse the bomb game setting. And I also liked that you used Powerpoint for graphics xD
I also liked how you did the main UI structure. The effects of jumping letters from typing are cool. Also liked the transition from the diffused bomb to the next one. But beause I was focusing on the letters for typing I didn't really see the bomb timer. But this way it less stressfull because I could concentrate on only typing. But for experement it would be curious for me to get rid of the hearts and instead put a big bomb timer for player to be distracted. And then if you typed the wrong letter it would lose some seconds. I know it's a bit on the nose and it would probably change the vibe of the game. But I think it would be a good conflict trying to get into the zone of typing and not be distracted by a big timer xD

Anyway, loved the game! Good job!

Developer(+2)

Very very detailed recommendation for the game in this year! I'm glad you found it cozy (my original aim was that, and I put some bombs for theme satisfaction). Fortunately someone finally approve my PowerPoint art XD, and as I'm a neat & tidy person, I'd love to design the game in a minimalist style.

Submitted

Such a nice entry!

Gamefeel is truly satisfying. Great work!

Developer

I'm glad you feel like others XD

Submitted

I’ve been touch typing for over 25 years and I think this game made me a better typist. I really wish I’d had this when I was learning. A couple of thoughts; it would be nice if I didn’t get kicked out to the main menu at the end of each level and maybe it was just me but I kept thinking the Ls where 1s

Developer

I think you've overrated the game but generally I appreciate your recommmendation!

Submitted

Love the music, found this very relaxing to play.

Developer

yo, the game is very low cortisol cuz the timer is not too fast tho

Submitted

Awesome game! Would be cool if some later stages had actual words with punctuations etc :D

Developer

Love it! Thanks for recommend!

Submitted

I had fun with it, although the 20 levels don't really feel different enough from each other. I ended up skipping levels since I wanted to at least do level 20 and the levels get way to long. I'd recommend making the timers a lot tighter and the levels a bit shorter.

Developer

I appreciate your recommendation, I was really confused & busy working with the game core & polishment, so I didn't spend much time on customising the levels tho :P. At first I even thought about some perks XD

Submitted

A fun typing game yet I'm bad at typing T_T

All in All Good Game :)

Developer

Bad at typing doesn't mean you didn't have fun playing the game :)

Submitted (1 edit)

Pretty fun especially for a typing game, they’re usually not my thing! I wish more letters were visible at a time, but I really don’t have any complaints other than that. Also, I think adding the different backgrounds was a weird time management choice in a 96-hour jam, but they all look super nice, so it worked out. Nice submission!

Developer

Oh hope bro have fun with the game tho, I don't even know what was the motivation for me to do the background customisation, I managed to do that at the last 3 hours of the game to be honest :P

Submitted

Don’t worry, it was a good addition, and yes I did have lots of fun!

Submitted

Like typing games, so linking it to bombs defusing was a good idea, good job !

Developer(+1)

I'm glad bro like it!
