Really enjoyed this game. It highlighted an issue with my touch typing in that I seem to misplace my finger for 'L'. Really cool game. Wish there was a timer or something so I could track progress or something as I did fail before the music finished (so not sure if you can complete it).

Absolutely love the aesthetic, has a really great feel to it! Gameplay is very challenging, or maybe my typing just sucks. As Surfa said above, definitely would benefit from having some kind of score tracking system or stats screen at the end to show how well(bad) you did

I really loved the concept of the game, had a lot of fun playing it

Thank you all for your kind feedback! It really made our day!

Really cool game, the graphics and overall atmosphere are great and the music makes you just stressed enough. I loved how the character dances when you press the buttons, very dramatic!

Keeping a reactor stable was one of the ideas I had too. But I could not find out a gameplay mechanic that would fit. You found a great solution with keyboard tapping! Very nice graphics, well picked audio and nice humor! It has enough content for a LD submission but what I miss is some more features in the game. Maybe levels, checkpoints and progression. Maybe powerups, or some other event to vary the gameplay. However, a perfect LD submision, well done!

I love it. The contrast between the strange positions he gets in, the music, and the reactor made me laugh so much. I had so much fun with a simple but polished gameplay, thank you! :)

How do you make graphics this good in such a short period of time? Please tell me; I want your knowledge wise man.

This should be used in schools to teach touch typing.

Maybe then I would have actually learned the proper way to touch type.

Noice, a touch typing game! Fits perfectly with the unstable reactor idea. I also love the little poses the guy goes into as you press each button.

Such a nice artwork! I love humor mixing the serious science experiment and the funny dancing of the character. The graphics is amazing too. Great job!

Hi @firetwoonenine ,

we actually thought about making it into an educational game for kids to teach them how touch type (for adults like myself it might be usefull as well :D ).
Anyhow, we might continue working on it after the event: polish animations, graphics and such. :)

And also thank you all again for your feedback!

This made me laugh a lot. The silhouettes are fantastic, the concept is fun. The music makes the whole thing feel so important - which I guess it is, there's a reactor about to blow - but the execution has just enough goofiness that it's a good time. Great work!

Awesome! Loved the visuals! Gameplay itself made me realize how bad I am at typing :))

Thats the most unstable task I had to achieve like maybe ever. You did a great job. I had to be 100% aware of what I'm doing to delay the inevitable. Or is there actually a way to win the game??

Hey @awesomealliterationalliance,

Thank you very much, yes the game can be won. Though the only real difference is the screen fading in black compared to fading in white (and explosion) when you lose.

Very beautiful looking game! Very polished. As someone who transitions between qwerty and azerty from time to time this was very hard as I had to really think about the z, w, a and q :id:
Maybe in the beginning a indication that you have to type the letters would be nice as I had to figure that out for the first 10 seconds or so. (Or I just missed it)

Very interesting game. It is just too hard :o. It would be great to have more time to press the right key (at least at the beggining). The game also lacks of sound design.
The art is great and the visual feedbacks are very good, well done!
