Hi everyone! This is our first attempt for the ludum dare, and we made it!

You're in space, some ships are attacking you. Use your keyboard (new and powerfull technology) to destroy the ennemies, typing their name with it!

We did not have enough time to finish the second level so we made the first level much harder.

Hope you'll enjoy it!

I killed 49 ships. Love typing so this game was right up there for me. Just like typing of the dead :)

36 ships! As the button said, "try harder!"

I got 29, its quite fun and rather intense as it gets harder

Very nice game! I had a lot of fun playing it but didn't beat it!

Good graphics and nice feeling.

I miss some clicky sound while writing in the keyboard

I killed 40 ships! Congratz! Nice game... :)

Not incredibly fitting with the theme, but certainly a fun game.

When the ship explodes, its graphics is not remove. You should only leave the explosion animation, otherwise you don't send clear feedback to the player whether the ship is dead or it was just hit once. I found myself very confused by it at the start.

With some slightly more polished graphics and a better font, this could be a nice game.

P.s.
I lol'd at the Loading screen.

Very nice ! The most fun game I've played for now !

@MaTX thanks for your feedback, it's very usefull :)
Regarding the theme, we interpret it like this : there's so much ship (then so much words to type) that you need more than one keyboard to win the game, but you only get one.
It sounds like a kind of joke, but I understand your point.

nice take on typing games. and it looks real pretty.

Lyje18 Dec 2013, 14:03

Nice! Tricky though, and not sure "one keyboard" has much to do with the theme!

Tough game. But fun

Interesting concept !

44 ships. Typing is hard, you know. :) Cool idea, thank you!

I really love typing games. Good Job! I included this game in part 8 of my Ludum Dare Compilation series, if you'd like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/JK9Dz3oR_Xs

I wish there were more words, a bit more of a variety.

Funny way to practice keyboard typing! Should use more different phrases though.
Graphics for the spaceship are quite simplistic but space is well rendered. Music is entertaining.

Interesting idea and nice art, though the 2D ship frame doesn't fit very well with the 3D environment. I wish the ship was constantly moving around, like the players do in Typing Of The Dead, instead of just swinging.
