Typer World Cup! A game where you type to play soccer.
How to play: Just type
And oh btw you can press enter when you pass, dribble and shoot to prematurely end the phrase

It's still very buggy at this time. Maybe we will fix it someday. Game made using Unity! Background art made with PixaTool by Kronbits Sound effects by Avakas, Musita182 and Yottasounds from freesound.org
You absolutely nailed the ambience of a stadium, the audio in this title was really rock-solid. Typing felt really rewarding in that the games' feedback was well presented. Congratulations on your entry!
Arrgg I suck at typing... and sucker is not my thing but it's a nice concept for a game. I could'nt get my eyes away from the right row though, it made me miss a lot of the actions ; maybe the typing area below the image woul'd have been more confortable (but maybe it has something to do with my dyslexia).
I think the game has some serious good and bad points!
First, the art is great, it plays smoothly enough, and the sound is fitting!
But having to type a lot of words for one action is not rewarding at all - specially if you have trouble typing without looking at your keyboard or if english is not your first language.
The game would benefit a lot from having more actions controlled by shorter and easier commands, that get progressively harder as you get ahead in the score!
Other than that, great job! Really impressive work for a jam! :D
Great sound response for the typing. You nailed the 'feel' of the stadium. I was sad to miss all of the animations while I stared at the typing side of the screen to add my words. On that note: Awesome word selection for typing.
thanks for the feedback Everybody! @Carvster@la-mecanique-du-plastique The whole right row seems like a design failure. Sorry about that guys. @Gustavo-Manchae The Dynamic Difficulty was in the design at first. But sadly we can't made it in the jam version. Probably we will implement that one in the post jam version.
Man, I'm getting really good at typing games this week :D
Anyway, the game is great, but it's hard to see what's going on because you constantly looking on the right side and miss all the cool graphics that's there. Try moving text to the bottom maybe?
Very nice game! Unfortunately you don't see much of the nice visuals when you are concentrated on typing the words and your eyes are focused on the right column. Maybe you could have moved the world list somewhere else so you don't lose focus on the graphics. Besides that it really is a great game! I enjoyed playing it!
I Win!!!! :D Good graphism, audio and mood in general.
notes: Some time my errors are ignored and other times they are put in red. And the delay between the display of strings and the moment you can input is frustrating.
Very well finished and fun! Never thought these two genres can be combined so well! Love the graphics and the tense of gaming. Though I really don't have time to keep watching the soccer field...Perhaps it would be better to put the words closer to the soccer player?
I am conflicted on this one. On the one hand, it feels solid. The art looks good, and influenced by some old school football titles, and the ambient sound was spot on.
But I only switched between looking at what I had to type and down at my keyboard, so I missed the actual game. I wish there was different audio feedback on typing the correct or incorrect letters. I had to look up to check, and would then make mistakes as my hands drifted to the wrong letters on my keyboard (I cannot type well without checking in on my keyboard visually). The actual football events also didn't seem to have audio feedback, so I was just left hearing typing sounds.
I think there's potential in the concept, but I am subjectively bad at it. 😆
Cool game, with neat visuals, although I was staring so hard at the words that I didn't really get to enjoy them. Fun challenge, and an interesting format for the game segments. I wasn't sure if the three shot types were really any different - I scored every time, and tried each. I was always able to recover the ball and score easily, so maybe a harder mode would be a cool option. Nice work.

Anyway, great quality and polish
Each word, Each letter input felt really powerful. Well done!

P.S. I think I found a typo: Insomia (should probably be insomnia?)
