Evil hackers from the planet 2600 have attacked earths computers and disabled all main input methods. Only armed with the letters A-Z, Funky Lincoln needs to type fast to survive and restore human control on earth!
Funky Lincoln is a jump and run game with minimalistic controls. Instead of pressing SPACE or SHIFT to perform actions, the players need to type out the actions to perform then. The game features 15 levels that range from easy to lunatic, can you beat them all?
Hint: Remember to type NEXTLEVEL after finishing a level.
Funky Lincoln was created by Daniel Czeppel & Patrick Ulmer for the Ludum Dare 26 Jam in 72hours.
The game was written in Java using the libgdx framework. Thanks alot to the kind folks in the libgdx chat without whom we would never have been able to get the webstart working!
Clever use of simple mechanic; enjoyable variety. I think I may have enjoyed it a little more if I didn't suck at typing, but overall a really sweet entrant.
Cool idea! I just disliked that if you slide ~1 frame above the ground you still get it by enemies that are one tile above ground:< Happend so many times:(
Great game...and especially with the level design you did a great job constantly increasing the difficulty. Very challenging game where you always have the feeling it is you who screwed it up and not the level is too hard...(super meat boy-like :D) Again, great job!
This game was really neat. Congrats on your clever idea - it was well executed and the difficulty ramps up quite nicely. Around level 10 I started getting bored of it, but kept going to see the end.
Gah what a hard game. I kept typing "JUM"... and waited to enter that P... same with SLIDE... i guess everyone did just that. But as soon as I had to slide mid air, i was just too bad. Kept screwing up that part.
Fun little idea, although I found it rather annoying to type in the whole jump. Yeah I guess that was the point there, still it was weird and all.
The sound was bad. It was totally annoying and loud. Well, at least it had sound.
Good work though. It ran great, everything seemed well done.
This game is a ton of fun. It gets pretty tough, which I love. If you make some graphics that don't burn out my retinas, you'd have an epic game haha. Well done
Haha, funny. I played it with CAPSLOCK on just to be sure. Why it had to be lincoln, I have no idea, but it makes it all the better. It had the old skool vibe to it, including the bleeps (also from me) and the difficulty. Good one.
Phew, took me a while to realize I have to type. I almost already failed at the menu screen :D Very fun game, gets devilishly hard in the later levels ;)
I love offbeat typing games. Never realized how hard it is to type the word JUMP. That index finger has to hit 3 keys!
I feel like I just barely beat the game. The JUMPSLIDE was really satisfying. You did a great job at teaching new mechanics and then leveraging them in complex and difficult patterns.

Only complaint is that the audio is really sharp and painful with headphones on. Otherwise, that is quite amazing that was created in 72-hours!
Kudos!
Again, great job!
