Did not think about combination of a typing game with a platformer-action of all things. Also love that you took it the ENTIRE way! Not only using the typing input for the character\/gameplay, but for even the menus etc. \n\nI am however, a very slow typer, and I got completely stuck on a level because i could not Turn then Jump to get to the next platform. I would have liked a setting to slow down the robot, or maybe be able to type what speed I want to go at any one moment.\n\nA very nice looking game as well! The sounds where a bit repetitive and loud on the robot engine, but other then that It all fits very well with the style. A great entry to theme!
