Amazingly creative and simple, great execution too! Very similar control layout to our game, but you have done a far better job at teaching the funky keyboard layout and hand placement - makes me want to go back and add a proper tutorial to our game! Love how pressing the buttons mimics what the corresponding fingers on screen do. Well done, very cool!
Very creative concept. The controls took a while to get used to, but once they clicked, the game was pretty fun and satisfying to play. Nice work!
I saw this played on a stream and I had to play it. This was very enjoyable! The music fit the vibe of the game, the game loop was very unique and fun, the controller bindings with the finger placement felt comfortable and intuitive. Great job!
This was a blast tbh!! Love the concept, and way to play. For real, this could be on steam lol
🤟🤟🖕👍 Love this game!
I couldn't get the hang of it, but I can see how I could muscle memory my way into becoming a pro. :D
yes, Its all about muscle memory and calculating what keys to smash together to invert them.
this was a really fun and funny game! I liked the frantic feel to it. my only critique was maybe you should try a version where the hands are flipped over to match the player's hand position on the keyboard? But then again, maybe the added difficulty was intentional? I had a lot of fun with this! :)
yes, the inversion between keys and the sprite was intentional, for both added difficulty but also because the hand sprites are facing toward us while the way we type on keyboard is opposite and face to the bottom.
(As someone said previously, if you flip your keyboard it makes sense)
but yes we should/can add a easier version that works exactly like you said.
The inverted controls make my head hurt, but otherwise this was a fun game. Good luck!
Thank you for playing :)
inverted controls were intentional to make the game hard. It really seems unintuitive but one other reason is the sprites is facing toward us, unlike the way our hands face downward while typing.
but after the voting better I will look after it.
