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!

A fun typing game with bombs counting down in a level, which you have to defuse them, gaining streaks and scores to break record!

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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
Awesome game! Would be cool if some later stages had actual words with punctuations etc :D
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.
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!
Like typing games, so linking it to bombs defusing was a good idea, good job !
