I liked this. Nice graphics, and the typing game itself is basic but fun. Well done!

Great concept ! It remember me the game "moon type".

The way to start the game (typing "play") is very clever, and it help the player to get what it have to do.
Make the words rotating increase the difficulty, so it's cool. The dictionnary fit well the theme.

You should add GUI to show the current score and also make word destructions more juicy, it will help the player to feel like a very powerful hacker.

Btw, the robots dialogs make me laught.

Good job.

really fun game, i really like the attention you put into details (vfx when you finish a word, robot dialog, hacker cam...) i was disapppointed i had to click continue and couldn't start the game by typing !

This was pretty fun. Always down for a Typing of the Dead style game. One thing is it felt a bit too easy, I got a couple minutes in and started to get bored. Could have scaled up faster, or maybe shown how many I had to complete before increasing in difficulty, or even simply a difficulty slider. Otherwise solid idea and execution.

The only hard time I had playing was to understand some words because of the font you used. Other than that, had fun and actually felt challenging some times. Good twist on the theme :)

Fun game with a neat theme! The gibberish word really threw me off, that was evil!

Nice game! The robot was amusing as were a couple of typing suggestions. It would be nice to see some measure of progress, i.e. score counter? I wasn't sure if I was doing well or only just holding the hacker off. Maybe that's what the hacker cam was for but it's mood never really changed, maybe i didn't get far enough.

I liked the control typping the words, great idea!

The music get annoying after some time! :sweat_smile:

Maybe if u reduce a bit the difficult and change the topic of the words, it could be a nice educational game, for teaching children to write! :smile:

The robot would be a nice pet for children!

It made me feel smart because I knew what all the technobabble actually meant :sweat_smile:

75 / 4:01

At first the phrases come too slow, then it's suddenly too fast. A bit flattening of the curve would be better.

I usually like typing games (as I'm a fast touch-typer), but this was simply too random.

Not saying it wasn't fun tho :smile:

It'd be even better if it had a bit of change in the gameplay. Not just simply typing this out, but something else to happen on the screen, some other type of typing puzzle... such as a short quick burst of single letter items or syllables... those things. something to make it spicier.

But in any case, nice job.

It's a typing game. What can I say? It's an interesting concept for a typing game, but it feels like I'm back in computer class.

Really fun typing game! The vaporwave style is a great fit, and I loved typing 'play' to start the game.

Very well polished game, well done in making this gameplay fun and particularly relevant, since you fight against a hacker.

nice little game! i enjoyed typing words and typing "play" at the beginning was a great idea. I think that in-game graphic was too clean for a mood the menu was suggesting (retro/vaporwave), it could be a bit more chaotic. but otherwise, good job!

This was a really fun game. I can't believe I found enjoyment out of typing words on my keyboard before time runs out. Excellent job. I gave it 5s across the board.
