I'm a little biased because I love text graphics I gave this a 5/5 in graphics. haha.
I found typing the words in time to be challenging but fair as a fast typist, but it would be nice to have an easy mode to make the game more inclusive.- Accept R for right, J for jump ect.
@honey Thanks so much for playing, we will focus on evaluating more games to achieve more viewing! Congratulations on your game!
@jonathan-daar Thank you very much, we were very happy that the chosen appearance pleased you. Your day on how to make the game visualized was very accurate, we're running after that right now. And about a more accessible game mode, I believe that you are right and will be a great balcony for the game. Congratulations on your game!

@hopgames Thanks for playing! I believe that a different game mode should be very interesting indeed! Congratulations on your game!
I love so much the hero and his face ^^ !
Very cool how much emotion you manage to put on the characters face. A bit too hard for me in the later levels, but otherwise pretty cool.
Well done.
A checkpoint system might be kind of nice, as right now the basic spiel is "repeat the level until you memorize it," which would become worse if you also had to memorize when to crouch or not (as right now you can basically just crouch the whole time). If the command were "checkpoint," it would actually take a while to type out and be something of a tradeoff. :wink:
Anyways, neat combination of genres. Real-time platforming and text-based controls are definitely not the most compatible.
@Mr.MadCat Thanks a lot for the feedback! It's good to know that we succeeded in showing the emotions on the character!
@TheMonsterFromTheDeep Good observation about QWERTY keyboards, typing always with the right hand can be really tiring.
I liked a lot the idea of typing some words to create a checkpoint. We'll take that in consideration for further updates! =]
Thanks a lot for your thorough feedback, we're happy to know that you liked the mix of the chosen genres!
