How does your game fit the theme?
We were inspired by the countdown before live television programs (e.g. like in iCarly, to be honest), as well as a bomb clock counting down until the Earth explodes doubling as our timer.

Great game. Just solid work all around. The story is cute, the art is fantastic, the chattering audio sound is perfect. My only critique is that it's a little light on theme. Well done.
This was a very enjoyable experience. The visuals are great and I like the choice possibilities. It's a very good concept!
Loved playing this one, great story telling. I liked how the game did not punish me for my typos. Great soundtrack and art! Very well put together! :)
Someone down below said that Mavis Beacon prepared them well - that's entirely how I feel. It flashed me back to those times where I played a lot of Mavis Beacon as a kid, though more forgiving. I also always love a sci-fi story. I don't know how you could flesh this out into a larger game, but I'd buy it!
thank you for your kind words! gotta reach out to this "Mavis Beacon" person...
Having the player move back and forth between the aliens and humans is a really good idea. At the end of the day the gameplay is just typing, would be cool if the alien version had some other challenge like non human language or poor translation or something. But I was so invested in the plot I didnt really care. Really cool!
"You Stay Classy, Planet Earth" the game. I had fun, and this is a cool concept! But there was a lot to type so I didn't end up making it through the alien part. Good work though, I always appreciate typing games.
I really liked the back and forth between the humans and aliens! It made for a fun story and the typing is something I quite like! I did come across a prompt on the Alien side where the text didn't fit on the screen, so typing it was near impossible since the font blended in with the BG. Otherwise, really solid game and a unique interpretation of the theme!
I knew this day would come. Mavis Beacon has prepared me well.
I really liked the art style, the music and this silly little story!
Nice job :)
Great artstyle and audio.
I'm not much of a speed typer myself and unfortunately I couldn't pass the first level, I tried four times. Not sure how far I was from the goal as there isn't an indicator for it (as far as I'm aware) and failing just freezes the game with a pixelated explosion png. Main menu doesn't work in browser so I don't know if there were settings to make the game easier. There was a bug with the audio where the first song that plays during dialogue doesn't end when the typing game starts, so two songs played at once.
Funny little story built around a cool little typing game, nice job!
I liked the idea too much, and the arte it's really good. Great job!
I love the art! But I had some issues with the scaling and couldn't start the game for a while. I feel like there could be more feedback for the player to make it more satisfying while typing!
Thank you so much!! What do you mean by feedback while typing? Would that be like visual and sound effects based on your progress?
Yeah exactly! I know there's already some feedback in there. I just meant there could be even more of it, like extra visual or sound cues reacting to how you're doing as you type, on top of what's already there.
The art is great, and i love the idea that to choose drive the story by through typing. It'll be even better with complete news photo because they're a driven for me
I really like the art but I couldn't really get anything to work. also the screen shrunk weirdly.
Idea is fun and the art is adorable!
Also really like that the news caster's mouth moving along while you type, it's such a nice little detail ^-^
I like the audio and artwork you did there, but the instructions were unclear to me and you had some bugs with the UI and scaling of the game, but still a good composition
One of the few games that makes reading tons of text bearable (I hate reading too much in video games), so this is impressive
I'm not a fast typer, so I gave up on the 2nd scene. It is interesting to find out what kind of weird scenes happen after that. If only there was an easy mode to reach them, or something like that
I'm glad you enjoyed it, and thank you! If there were an Easy Mode, would you prefer one with an longer or unlimited timer or a version where you just have to type in the choices?
