Letter Spray by Megapiemanphd

made by Megapiemanphd for LD32 (JAM)

Bombs are randomly falling all over the city! It's up to you, a lonely walking can of spray paint, to stop them. Use your typing skills and knowledge of the English Alphabet to spray the correct letter at each bomb to blow it up, or let everyone down and doom the city. Includes 3 levels, each one getting more difficult than the last.

*I had planned on adding multiple kinds of bombs but ran outta time :(

Controls:
Space - speed up
Backspace - turn around
A-Z spray that letter upwards

I'm sorry, I can't play this, Linux and Web only.

Music and Audio was pretty good. Having the guy run constantly and having space and backspace (very far from each other on the keyboard) made it feel awkward to control him. Otherwise, game worked pretty well as intended.

Alright, although the main controls are very far apart and it makes it hard to play.

I love the music, and the menu artwork was good. Unfortunately it froze shortly after starting. I have not been able to fix it. It's a shame as I would love to play it.

I can't get it work work either and there's no web version.

Loved the music and voice acting. Controls were kind of awkward, yet manageable. How you came up with such an idea I have no idea!

Sorry if this isn't working for some people. I had it tested on multiple computers and it worked fine so idk what the problem may be.

Interesting twist on typing game genre with the space and backspace used for moving. Made it pretty damn hard though. Managed to clear level one without any bombs touching the ground, level two with two bombs hitting the ground and at level three I gave up after some tries :P. Seemed to stutter a bit from time to time even on a good computer. Nice voiceover.

Good audio and music, space and backspace makes it really awkward to move back and forth, maybe the arrow keys would be easier. Also loved the hand drawn graphics :)

Lost a couple of times because I mistook one letter for something else. Really liked the audio. Did not have any issues running it

A lot of fun, also loved the voiceover/music/"charming programmer art". Too hard for me, but great work anyway!

I got it to work.

Interesting concept, I had a fun time with it. I couldn't quite get the hang of the backspace/space controls (they were a bit weird) but it was an interesting game.

I really liked the theme! I found the controls hard to understand, especially the Space and Backspace but it is fun to play! The all brushed up art makes it resemble somehow the graffiti theme. Liked the music!

I love this game! Yea more bombs and polished graphics would help, but it's very fun! The amount of controls is like the whole keyboard, but I got pretty good at it, so I enjoyed myself. Perhaps make level 3 shorter, it feels infinite

Pretty cool game, I'd really suggest a different button combination for run and backwards though as it's hard to keep an eye on stuff and switch between those two keys, or I guess I'm just not used to that setup.

I really like the audio. Having to have the letter shooting... What is it even supposed to be? - in the right position is an interesting twist to the typing game formula.

Really enjoyed this one, you must have had a lot of fun making this one! Controls were a bit awkward, but when I got the hang of them, it was a lot of fun. And the 'eeeeexploossiooon' almost made me look forward to losing :)
