Fun little game :)

A really creative idea :D Good one.

You kill me :rofl:
Very good game :thumbsup:

Very creative. Loved the game!!! :smile:

Strange but funny xD...

Haha, nice!

The idea was great, i just laugh alot as everyone haha :)
Great graphics too!

Some tips would be:

Add more mechanics, and some bosses.
Maybe a tutorial too, a take some secounds to understand the game,
it's ok for me, but some people, do not undestand the game in first seconds and just leave

Great game :)

Hey Rafael!

I did actually have plans for some extra stuff to make it more fun - cooldowns and the likes to clear the screen, or fire your chief of staff to gain some political power ;)

Unfortunately making the "art", audio, etc etc took up too much time on the last day, so I decided to leave it as it was before I created more bugs :D

I might update the version on kongregate with some of these additions once the compo ends, though!

xD this game is really cool!

Was funny :P

Haha, you got me with this! You deserve my WTF of the day xD Please, add more stuff post-compo. It's born to be shared!

Frantic fun game :) The music was pretty spot on too :)

I didn't like the fact that you had to type THAT HIGHLIGHTED WORD and you didn't have any other choice. So when you know you can't make THAT word in time, and can't start on another, well, that's super annoying.

Have you played the Typing of the Dead? That was great :) The Trumping of the Dead will make a good sequel :)

That covfefe tho :DDDD

This was really funny! Got very difficult very quickly and wasn't really progressive but it was fun and the sound effects made it 10 times better!

A very creative use of the theme. I like it, but the ability to start with any of the words on the screen would have made it even better :)

Cool! But hard!

This is so hilarious! Really, really cool idea!
The sound is way too loud, tho.

The game is pretty great, despite the constant negative press covfefe

Really nice game and theme interpretation ! A bit hard for me !

Really nice game and theme interpretation ! A bit hard for me !

Really funny game! Not really much to complain about with this one.

**First of all:** Best typing game I've ever played in my life!!!
How is this just not the best game of LD39? XD

**Overall game impression:** Very interesting take on the theme. Very cool that you made it a typing game, not seen a typing game in LD entry before. (This is only my 2nd LD but still) unexpected gameplay and game theme (politics) Very fun and neat. Typing games are always a great way to spend some time. I'll send this game to my slow typing friends :D

**Suggestions and comments on improvement:** I had a problem getting ' to register, not sure if an issue is on my end or not. Other than that, should've made trump swallow every word you type correctly instead of them just falling.

Very cool game overall! Good job!


p.s. check out my game as well please.

I really liked the game! Really clever use of the theme.
I think letting the player type any of the words currently on the screen would be nice.

Thanks for the comments all!

Just a quick response on some of the suggestions/feedback;

1) Special characters not being recognised on some setups - unfortunately, the only setup I had to work on was my Win10/QWERTY setup. OSX users, and users with QWERTZ keyboards have had troubles with the apostrophe. This is a pretty quick fix, but unfortunately, the deadline for the compo has passed.. so I'm guessing that updates past this point are not permissible. I may back up the original version as it is on kongregate now, and update the current kong version however :)

2) The Game is sort of designed to force you to fail before Day 100, although some people have hit above 140. It's meant to be a short/sweet experience.. unfortunately the exact opposite of the current presidency :P

3) Definitely room for way more features and progression in there - but as is the way with the ludum dare timeframes, many cuts had to be made :) However, I may look into further developing on it in the future!

Thanks again for all your comments and feedback! I'll be sure to check out any entries you've posted!

Funny and fun, no matter what your political stance is. I enjoyed playing!

Very fun. Also I'm french, so I can't really understand the humour in it but I kind of like it ;-)
Keep moving forward.

Good game. Altho I'mm not a so quick typer so the game was a little to quick. You could also only type on the one that was in the front. That made it hard because you only got like 1 second before it died on you and the next one appeared. A voice actor or some sample sound would be worth GOLD!!! Well done!

@rootpew pretty sure you're allowed to fix bugs as long as you don't add content.

Love it! Really funny! One small thing, I'm not using an English keyboard and have the ' and - buttons on different keys, and couldn't write words with those signs.

Totally great game, loved it. Trump would probably really like it too.

Great concept!

Good game. Humor-wise, it is off the charts. Graphics are spot on. Sound is a taaad bit annoying, but fit the style well. Well done!

As a lot of people said, the ability to start typing any word would have been good since it starts coming so fast you can't really complete any words in the time it takes for your current word to hit him in the face.

Kudos on making a thing with Trump and then not immediately having your comments section explode with political arguments as well.

Lolz, that end massage

Kind of fun. I like the interpretation of running out of power as running out of political power (our team breifly considered that, along with running out of magical power).
I would consider an update were you don't necessarily have to type one word. If two words are coming at the same time, rather than delegate what the player has to type, why not let them choose on their own?

Very funny and creative! It becomes so hard very quickly. Maybe its because of my small hands xD

Hah, when I saw what it was, I was like... what...? But actually playing it was pretty fun. It got really intense really fast though, I gotta say. But nice job!

haha! nice game bro. trumping of the dead

It was ok :)

Concept is good, wish it changed things up a little. But, hey, it delivers exactly what it says on the tin, and with a good amount of polish, so I can't complain.

My first thought at seeing this was "Man, I'm glad I don't have to get this guy's comments," lol. Fortunately, everyone seems to be cool here, so, congrats on that!

Funny concept, good art, and fitting music.

I did have one very aggravating problem: Words that start with the same letter should not be on screen at the same time. The game seems to auto-select the closest word with the first letter you type and that poses a bit a problem if you're purposefully letting a tricky word fail. I feel that tracking what starting letters are in play and filtering the dictionary appropriately would go a long way to improving this title.

Haha! Loved it. Great idea and great humor. Thanks for the laughs.

GOOD JOB !!! Concept is tremendous !!! Trust me, when this game will be in charge, EVERYTHING WILL BE GREAT AGAIN !!!

I really enjoy this game, even if it's quite hard and I also like when covfefe

Oh boy this is hilarious, good job!

Learn your kid typing ánd about politics. The Trump way!

Which apparently is a very hard and fast way. Or I learned I can't type.
Either way Fun game!

It would have been great if you had to type out the full tweets! Not much else to say that hasn't been covered by another comment. Overall, good job!

As the token Trump game of this LD this one was quite alright. I like the graphical style and music. They both give off a crude and hard to take seriously vibe which I think is quite fitting for Trump. Gameplay-wise I thought it was a fairly standard typing game but I do think more leeway would have been nice. Then again, I'm not the fastest typer ever so it could be a fault of my own (English not being my native language and all). Overall, good work!

Thumbs up to the community for being positive and not exploding.

"Thanks sweetie" cracked me up, fun, nice work!

"Thanks sweetie" cracked me up, fun, nice work!

"Thanks sweetie" cracked me up, fun, nice work!

Fun game, but it gets frustrating when a lot of words come at the same time: you can't choose which word to type and the current word changes constantly, at this point I can't do anything and just wait for the game to end.
Maybe each letter you type could have a knockback effect on the word?

Anyways, well played.

This game made me lol harder than any I'd played so far. I like how you interpreted the theme, it made for a more unique game. Also the challenge of typing I think is very fitting for the LD audience. Having a web platform made it really easy to play. Clear, yet funny graphics. Overall well done!

Obviously 5/5 for humor. This is probably the funniest game I've played so far. The presentation is very nice as well. The theme seems pretty tacked on, but whatever. It's a great game anyway.

I wish there was more covfefe to be honest. I've been waiting for covfefe to show up, but it rarely does. Covfefe is such a fitting meme for this that I feel there should be a mechanic centered just around that one word. Like some kind of frenzy mode where every word becomes covfefe.

The gameplay is okay, but it gets very hectic quickly and if you're unlucky with the word lenghts it's pretty impossible to hit every word.

** First Impression **: The theme of your game and setup definitely drew me in to try it out :D

** Sound **: Well fitting for an game like yours where you have to type fast :)

** Graphics **: You hit it on point with your graphics :) made your game more than "just" a typing game :D

** Gameplay **: Generally a motivating concept to get better at typing :D one issue i faced tho was, when i missed a long word most words which came afterwards only had a really short time frame to type correctly which made it really hard to get back once you messed up, maybe you could have change the game to allow more time for longer words (e.q. that the next ones would flow in later?)

** Overall **: Defenitly my #1 game in terms of humor so far :D really well done :)

Best humor so far. Great music. I just discovered how much I suck at typing. Congrats!

Nice small game, good interpretation of the theme, and you adapted the simple "word typing" gameplay to the theme to make it interesting and funny, well done ! :)

I'm fairly sure that this is going to win for humour. I feel that the game started a little hard and could do with being a bit more fair and balanced.

Game was fun, and slightly addictive to play, with simple enough gameplay to understand and play. I understand the need for shorter words and phrases but it would've been fun to write out his real tweets as well.

And I must say: You covfefed the theme very well

Best humor!!!

It's a solid typer game i guess. Art is good and i like the music too!

Haha, wow. 'You have small hands.' This is really funny. And just when I thought I'd seen them all.. 'I'd date ivanka trump.' Why'd I have to type that!? XD

My only suggestion is to make the sfx for finishing typing and failing typing something different; when the texts were really close to the face I was confused on whether I finished typing it or not. But that isn't a yuge issue. Other than that, I think this is very bigly and high energy ;)

oh my god

Pepe approves

Hey all,

Thanks a million for all the comments & feedback!

As I found it was within the rules to do so, I pushed through an bugfix update which now skips any special characters (dashes, apostrophes etc).

A lot of the suggestions put forward were actually planned to go into the game - but unfortunately, 2 days (of which one was spent with a hangover) is not a great amount of time to get a game fully made, without making a few sacrifices along the way. You'll notice the bottom bar is completely empty - this was actually intended for for some "cooldown" functions, which would have made the game a bit easier. Functions such as firing your chief of staff (slow down words at a cost of political power), or a pepe blast; turning every word into a high power pepe for about 10 seconds to give you some breathing room.

Getting these built in wouldn't be too big an update - I'll likely write it up, post the updated version elsewhere (as to not interfere with compo voting), and then copy it across as the voting period ends.

Thanks again for all the feedback folks - it's made this LD well worth entering! :D

hilarious game, fits the theme well!

Yeah, that was great, tremendous fun and bigly cool idea :D

Very Fun game! :D

Challenging game, made me question how fast I can really type.

Lol, way too fast! I totally lost. I agree with the opinion that you should be able to type whatever words you want. Also, it would be good to have a difficulty setting, as a lot of folks can't type that fast.

Days survived: 98. Loved the concept and I definitely have not seen any other typing games for this LD! Great job :)

Challenging but very fun. Love the artwork, the music, laughed a lot while playing :laughing:

Great work!

Very funny! It was very hard though - I'm not a fast enough tweeter to be president! Sad.

This game is really good! I liked how this game portrayed the theme(instead of power being electricity its capability). I also liked the audio (I caught a hint of the Star Spangled Banner in the audio)! Do keep in mind though that Trump supporters might get offended by this game and will rate it badly. I hope your game gets scored highly though :)

Edit: Please do add a screen in the game telling the player how to play. I struggled with learning how to play. Only when I looked at the instructions below I realized how to play. At the very least, please put the instructions on this LD page. Cheers!

Really funny game! I think the gameplay could've been improved if it's possible to type other words instead of the highlighted word.

Very funny. The best Trump game i played so far.

Cool, I usually don't like political themes but the game mechanics is fun!! I tried typing other words too, then figured you can only type selected one. Probably could use some improvement, but anyways, great job!! An idea: perhaps you could make actual tweets out of the words that the player chose to write? Like a tweet generator. Thanks!

I like what you did based on the theme. The game plays nice and it's funny.
You should add an instructions screen (just an extra lines in this page will help). Maybe it was me, but I didn't realize I had to type the words until I read the instructions in Kongregate.

Great work!

I would've enjoyed this game, but I'm a slow typer. I had someone else play for me who's better at it, and she thinks the words are coming in too fast.

This is really funny :-)

74 days in office, that is 73 1/2 too long.

This is funny, I like typing games and this has very nice graphics, music and sound effects and I really like the Trump parody.

Solid entry, not a new concept but implemented really well, good job, keep up the good work!

Amazing, very hard though. 5 star all around.

Fantastic.

Great stuff, appreciate this bigly :D

Day 79 is the furthest I could go. Nice addictive gameplay.

Haaaaaaaaaaard

Ends up being pretty difficult for such simple words. Good for a couple play throughs, and the theme was implemented in quite a unique way. Good work.

Clever interpretation of the theme! The music and art fit the game perfectly. One recommendation I would have would be to make the difficulty rise a little more slowly. Well done!

Yes....just yes

lol this was amazing. It was simple but still fun because of how hilarious it was.

Not sure how WPM at the end is calculated because I feel like it was kind of inaccurate, but otherwise no major complaints. Awesome job! :)

Ahahahahah

Since you also made a Trump game, I had to play this :laughing:! It's actually really funny to see how different our games are even though we both chose Trump and had Losing Power as theme. The game itself is very well executed. Everything just works, and nothing seems out of place. The game does, as many others have mentioned, get a bit repetitive after a while, not that Ludum Dare gives you the time to create a game of that scale anyway. Good job!

(It also made me realize how bad my typing skills are, but we are going to let that slide)

5 stars! When I typed and kept with the stream for a few seconds I felt excited! If you continue to develop this, when I was overwhelmed after less than a minute I felt dejected. At first I wasn't noticing which word was selected to type.

Very original concept, well done!

I like the unique take on "power"! I would have never thought about this, nice job!

This was awesome! I love typing and funny games, good job!

A typing game with a new concept, nice implementation.

Wow. I didn't realise how bad I was at typing until now :D A fun little game, but words with spaces in them really threw me off as a constantly was trying to press spacebar.

The game is really a creative take on the theme :D I really enjoyed it :) Good job! :D

Really funny entry! I liked the take on power and I it's gotta everybody's favorite drump! Good entry!

An entertaining typing game, with an fun take on the theme!

The game became quite hectic, but the typing mechanics worked well, as did the graphic, sound and music.

Sometimes, slower words were highlighted, so that there was no time to type both that word, and the faster word reaching the head first.

>Out of control! Sad!
>So many words! So much win!
>Tremendous typing!

Really funny game xD maybe it could be a little slower at the beginning for the not english native speakers players, so we can adapt our "eye-hands" ability a little before the big word explosion takes place. And sometimes the fast word passes over the "red word that you are typing righ now", so you can't make them both.
Nice music, nice art and a really funny game :) Congrats!!!

WOW! great game. very hard to me. I'm not fast enough typing. Congrats.

Hahaha tremendous. Huge. Winning.
I couldn't last very much longer than 60 days because of my iq. Sad.
Music is part of the great humor deployed humor, gameplay is simple, but i think that the diffulty could be adjusted easily on speed, and words length. I decided that i will stop playing when I would not see a new stupid declaration but there is always a new one to make me laught... He is a abundant source of absurd quotes :] Nice job and great fun.

I really like typing game ..

The layout of my keyboard was not recognised ... strange

good entry though

Really nice approach to typing game, with fun political twist. Needs some polishing. Good Job!

Very addictive! I may actually get better at typing Benghazi and covfefe. So funny and awesome.

Haha funny game. Never thought I would have to type covfefe in my life :D

interesting mechanics. I disapprove in the games. graphics and sound - at altitude.

Learned a lot!

I'm surprised by the absence of irritable right-wing commentators. Evidently they don't frequent Ludum Dare.

Nice game! haha! I like the music that sounds like it could be from day of the tentacle! haha! It's really nice! :0) The typing was nice too but gets very hard fast. :0)
Thank you for your game! :0)

this is a funny, fun game! nice work.

Very fun game. Maybe I can finally learn how to type so fast like Trump does.
