Developped with Unity (free) FL Studio to create the music SFXR for the sound effect Audacity Blender for my models Paint .net I use the free font : C64_TrueType_v1.0-STYLE, 7-digit
I was impressed that you got me to type quickly. The graphics are clear and set the scenario. If you continue to develop this, have you considered integrating the keys being pressed in a way that progresses the story?
Yes absolutely ! I intend to continue to develop it and add more features. Initially, I wanted to put more than one bomb in the room and once one is defused, you move the character and the laptop to another bomb, connect it to "hack" it and obtain the password. I also want to add animation when the keys are pressed, let the player click on them too(I think its much faster with the keyboard but it doesn't hurt to try ;) )
Haha, that was a lot of fun. Made me really stressed. Loved the music and sound effects, well done. I assume it was random but I got SO MANY qs and vs!
I see that I was not only one thinking about bombs :D Nice work!

One of the best typing games I've seen. The audio did a great job of setting up the suspense. My one issue is that I think it would have been better with actual words, rather than random garbage letters.
Man, this is the PERFECT idea for a typing learning game!
In-game graphics are okay, but please get rid of that start screen! Sound is cool, but needs a little digital tick for the clock countdown...then the pressure will be total hell!
I really like how to the music adds tension! It would be nice to be able to see your previous score on the 'game over' screen. Maybe mix in some words from a 'most commonly used passwords' list into the middle of a code for a bit of humour ever X number of codes.
Fun little typer. My only beef was that I was looking at the letters and I missed what level I was on when I finally succumbed to the bomb. You definitely have the hardest characters to type set to appear more often. :) Music was perfect, sfx a little off, but not a problem.
Great typing game. Unlike some other typing games I've been playing recently, it actually was hard and triggered an emotional response, suspense and all. It felt like a thriller. Good job.
Man, that gets pretty intense. Great use of music and sound. The only thing I noticed, and only because I was looking at the keyboard by the end of it, was that I missed what level I was on - something to keep track of the highest score would be cool. I *think* I made it to level 16. Obviously I need to look at the screen while I type instead ;)
Yay! I actually thought this was one of those infinite games - Go as far as you can. I was happy to see that it could be won!! Fun game, and the music and sound effects really add to the stress level. Good job!
Oh dear, this gives me flashbacks of Mario Teaches Typing, fun game overall, I didn't see anything that seemed object when it came to figuring out how many more passwords to input though. Maybe there was one but I was too focused on the screen to be able to look around. Great looking game though, and the music helps make the game seem more intense.
Yeah, I saved the princess. I expected something different than a typing game, (more like typing in actual commmands) but somehow you managed to make it fun. great job :D
Truly addictive. We've already thought about the bomb at the beginning but we weren't sure about the gameplay, and this is a great solution. Nice simple game, well done!
Uuuh, I got to lvl17... Very hard for me because I look at the keyboard while typing. I suppose there is infinite number of levels? :D I misunderstood G for 6 few times :)
Nice work! Since this WAS in the Compo, I think it would have been more acceptable to make your own font using something like Fontstruct. (Everything MUST be made in the 48 limit.) Anyway, I saw your earlier posts, looked great right from the start. So glad you finished. Your sound is nice, keep it up.
Hehehe this was simple but pure brilliant! You actually got me going nuts! Saved the (hopefully not deformed) princess with 4.81" left :P Keep it up :)
Sorry that it took me so long to rate your game :( I liked the music, it added to that time's ticking feel. The typing game felt good! I made a typo :( *BOOM*
Oh my - this should be used in schools as a method to learn quick writing :) i hope you add some more mechanics like for example find the envelope on the screen look at the picture and a type of a be a super quick detective or the sunday school will blow.
This is very difficult for me, as I can type very fast, but I never quite learned how to type every key without looking at the keyboard. Nice idea, though, and the progression works well :)
Gah, that game is stressful, in a good way! The Sinister music and endless bleeping sounds. you should make a hardcore mode where the error buzz is the sound of you triggering your imminent demise >:D
At first when I clicked it thought "oh boy that looks so boring" but when I start playing I was like "OH BOY THAT'S SO FUN ICAN'TSTOPTYPING" :D very very good time !
Fun! I like typing games. While the lack of words or coherent sentences could be seen as a drawback in similar games, here it just adds to the desperation. I would have liked some sense of progression as I got through each security level, but perhaps in a later version...? Thought the music and sound effects were excellent, really added to the mood.
I got at least 10x better at typing in the like 5 minutes I've played this game. Who knew that all you needed was a bomb to improve your typing skills?
Haha - apparently I saved the princess, pardon, defused the bomb in my first try. Pretty nice game - finally the years of coding where I trained to type fast were of use, haha :D
@arch: Thanks for your response =) I create my sound with another DAW (REAPER), I doubt that 3xOSC is available outside of FL Studio. Will have to do some searching, I guess.
Da da da daa da da daa da daaa! I did it! Final Fantasy Fanfare FTW! (unintended aliteration :P) Nice game! Took me three tries but really wanted to finish it. Gameplay and music worked to great effect with the mood, felt very tense as it should. I had my 'oh no' moments and my victory, and it was damn satisfying! Good work.
I'm not sure if this game is possible to beat, but either way, I lost. I had a stressful but fun time. The audio really helped set the mood, although the graphics left something to be desired.
Max points for innvation, the concept is really great and although other people have done typing games you did it in a very orignal and efficient way. Because we are deactivating a bomb, the music is intense and specially because if we loose we begin all over again the game puts a lot of pressure on you and that's why typing in this game is especially funny.

Great game!
with ending music/credits
the music/soundeffects everything just went together so well!
Nice work!

Thank you for the heads up.
Thanks everyone for the comments it's really appreciated !
I actaully really like games like this where you have to be quick on the keyboard so this was really fun!
Just don't forget to add source :)
As a fast typist, I think the difficulty could've been ramped up, but it was still cool. The ending music was great.
Fun game, and the music and sound effects really add to the stress level. Good job!
Good mood. The mario tune interpretation is also cool
nice game!

Great job using the theme to create a sense of urgency and tension! :)
The only criticism I can muster is polish issues which barely detriments the whole experience (if at all)
I'm glad to hear you'll keep working on it! Brilliant idea, simple yet effective.
Loved the tunes.
I wonder if there is a way to win
And why does 10 seconds draw everyone to bombs, anyway?
Couldn't stop play until I actually finished it. Very simple yet enjoyable game! Thanks for making it :)
@archeometrician: Which VSTi did you use for the chip sound, or is it something included in FL Studio? Cheers!
OSC1 : curved squared wave
OSC2 : squared wave
OSC3 : triangular wave
In the Func section :
I keep the Feed at minimum, ECH =4
Arpeggiator : Ascending pattern, Range 2, Repeat 3, Chord : Major
I hope this will work for you, let me know if I can help you !
I create my sound with another DAW (REAPER), I doubt that 3xOSC is available outside of FL Studio. Will have to do some searching, I guess.
Nice music, by the way.
