Gameplay:

Your avatar is attracted by the yellow sphere. You play its mind, and you have two actions in your possession:
- say NO to one of its choice and offer another direction to move to
- say WAIT to force it to, well, wait a few seconds.

To play, you have to actually type the words once the avatar has taken its own decision.

Have fun! Or not...

Apparently I don't type very fast. Interesting idea.

I like how you type things to do stuff. Nice work.

Seems like you have to be a speed typist to be good at this game. Interesting concept :)

this was pretty fun, great job. I was struggling to get the little cube not to move away from the goal which was surprisingly fun. Well done :)

I got it, nice! But I suck at typing :)

Dude, this is weird! (mine too) :) I'm not sure I get the link with the theme though...?

Thanks for the feedback! I'll make an easier version with more delay. Unfortunately I'm a fast typer; and nobody tested the game except me ^^'

Well, the mind is beneath the flesh, that was my interpretation of "beneath the surface".
Initially I planned to set the game with floors and traps to have a 2nd meaning but lack of time you know :)

@legendpaul

What didn't you get? The how to play?

Cool Idea, I just could not type fast enough.

awesome idea, awesome game ! a little bit hard at the beginning for someone who's not used to write in english.. maybe a choice of the difficulty with more or less delay could be nice :)

Strange little game. I like the typing mechanic, you have to type so quickly that it really draws you in. Goals could be a little more clear though, and I wish there was music.

Interesting concept but the text leaves too quickly.

Cool idea. Could be interesting to just have your player flying around as you type commands. :)

Really cool idea. I'll have to practice my typing skills though. :D

This would be a nice concept if there wasn't that arbitrary time limit on typing; apparently you have to type at like 1000 words per minute in order to play? I'm a pretty fast typist, but the requirements for this game seem to be inhuman. Perhaps you made the mistake of tieing the timer to the frame rate rather than actual time?

I'll be frank: This was a bit frustrating for me. The text vanishes so fast, and especially at the beginning I was missing clear feedback about whether what I did worked or not. It would've probably helped a lot if you had different levels of difficulty for people who don't have your typing speed - or, well, who are just beginners in your game.

Nice idea. I enjoyed it. The sounds are funny. It could use some instructions on the title screen because I always skip the description on each submission page :)

Interesting. An easy mode for us slower typists would have been great ;)
