This was a really fun experience. Very creative mashup. Good design made it very clear what the objectives and commands were, and didn't punish too hard for mistakes! :)

Great, fun game. but way too short.

Thanks! Yea, I wish I had more time to make more fun levels =)

Really nice little game! There's all sorts of interesting mechanics you could do with this. I understand that 48 hours is very little time, but it's a real shame it was so short. Still, nice execution, and a great job overall!

Short, Fun and Good. Nice choice of words and creative workaround for the boss. Thank you for the game.

I chuckled at the ending :) I think I would prefer if the game interpreted the commands as they are typed, without the need to submit them by hitting ENTER (like Typing of the Dead did it). It would be better for the flow.

Wow, I haven't known about "Typing of the Dead", thanks for pointing =)

That was fun! But too short. I want more :)

Yeah, too short! It was fun to find very long command after those "jump" and "turn". I expected that on highest levels that will be multiple sentences or poems to type fast, but game ends...
BTW, I like that I need to hit ENTER to apply command - it allows to me to prepare myself: type command far away from needed point and then apply with single ENTER hit.

It was a cool idea, that was made by another dev (I'm not saying you're stealing it). But your game has another feel that make it different from the other one. I liked these commands especially "getmydoorback" and "findhimorher" XD. I liked the graphics though and I loved the good experience in this game but hoped there would have been more levels, but I know it was made in 48hrs so it's still GREAT!!!

nice idea.

The wobbly levels are cool, but if you ever do more level, consider having a stopwobble line ;)
