Keyboard Shootout by brian

[raw]
made by brian for LD30 (COMPO)
Story:

You're a space scout. You need to explore different worlds to gather resources. To efficiently do this, you have to pass through wormholes. These wormholes randomly appear and only one traveler can pass through. Once someone entered, it will close and you have to wait for another one to open.

As a scout, you are bounded by the law regarding passage clearance to these wormholes. But beware! There are some who do not abide this law. It's also your job to capture them. Capturing space outlaws will increase your chance to these passages.


Game Mechanics:

Type in the words displayed on screen to shoot those outlaws. Complete each word before the bar below them runs out. Once these bars run out, they will have a chance to shoot you and that will cause you a health token. Loosing all your health tokens means the game is over.


Game Controls:

A-Z keys
Esc for toggling pause

Great typing game. I had much fun typing away those crazy aliens. My only suggestion is to look at adding some sound. Well Done.

Fun. Minimalistic, great idea! If it had longer words, that would be nice.

Not a lot of different words.
Pretty fun though. Could definitely use some sound.

I got 71 \o/

Great game! I got 34 :D Only thing I would suggest is to add some music and SFX. Great Job! :D

Why 'Esc' to start? :P

More words would really be great. it was fun typing things out~! Only got to 69 though. hahaha!

Art sort of reminded me of old games where things were basically one color, except with different shades. :P All it needs is the bend at the edges, interlacing and the screen refresh. :P

A nice, simple typing game. Adding sound and perhaps more graphics would be nice, but for what it is it's good.

I liked the concept, but also wished for more variation. Little sound cues would also helps. Good job overall!
