One of the few times a game over screen made me laugh out loud. A lot of fun for just typing words. I don't think I've ever been so annoyed with the word "mayonnaise" before.

Haha, I liked this! The aesthetic is clean, the animation is bouncy. The music is a little too repetitive. The idea is fun, a silly twist on those old educational games. My biggest problem is that it's too hard! I couldn't get over the score needed to beat the first day in a couple of tries, and having to re-do the intro put me off trying again after that.

Pretty fun. It's a little too easy though. I noticed that day eleven keeps repeating... is that supposed to happen? Anyways, it's a solid entry, and the music is a nice touch.

@aevek Thank you very much for your comment. We are really happy it made you laugh. The sicilian mafia won't break our legs.

@klekky Thank you for pointing out the bug and completing the game!. We have fixed it.

@karmicretribution Thanks for the feedback! We are sorry to hear the mafia felt repetitive, we will shut them a bit on a future update, hope they don't fight back the lobotomy process.

I love this one! Really charming game, and an interesting (but strong!) take on the theme.

Omg this is so cute. This would be such a good keyboard practice game for kids. I would love to see more words with awkward spellings like - anchovies/weird/pharaoh (you get the idea). Or it could be some weird pizza toppings/names that the pizza may have (since it is a pizza typing game)

Something that threw me off was that there were similar words that came after one another. I have had a couple of strawberry into strawberry but there wasn't any audio/visual cues to let me know that I've completed the previous word.

Other than that, I love it :)

Fantastic game! Very nice looking, solid work on the audio as well.

@dxk2294 The Mafia is pleased with your comment. <3

@duncan-soo Thanks for the feedback! We don't exactly know if we can update the game on the following days to implement those changes, but if we can, we will.

Wow... this is amazing. Perfect concept, perfect execution. As @dxk2294 said, it is an interesting but strong take on the theme. This game really breaks the stereotype of typing games being boring! My only critique is on the pixel art: the black outlines bothered me. Try to get some colors that match the fill color of an object while still being dark, such as deep red outlines instead of black on the apples or dark brown outlines instead of black on the character's hair. Keep up the great work, really excited to see what you do next Ludum Dare!

"Oh, a typing game. I'm good at typing!"

*Flurry of Italian words*

"...Oh god, I suck at typing"

I love the simplicity of this game! The art style is both very polished and very easy to process at the same time. The writing and humor were on point, and I love that everything, even advancing cutscenes, was done with typing. This is a super well-made game. Awesome job!

@mertios Thank you so much for the pixel art feedback! We need to improve our pixel art style, I had taked notes! Hope you get fun!

Absolutely love it! Definitely better at typing now when the mafia is out to get me!

Wow, your game plays really well and the presentation is very good! I really like your simple pixel art style! The music was really good and well fitting, too! I love this game!

@zachster Sometimes people needs an extra motivation. Like worrying for the welfare of their legs. Thanks for your comment!

A very cool scoring game, maybe a little too simple ?

I don`t like gameplay like this, but overall thats was funny.

game is fun, but i type really fast and sometimes game dont recognize keypresses.
Art is good. Game over funny.
Good job!

Haven't played a typing game in a long time. Good execution although it seems to sometimes drop inputs. That and the apostrophe doesn't work very well. Other than that, great art, good sound, good theme. Great job.

@jsec it's be cause you have a tiny stun after you fail! Thanks for the feedback! :D

@carpin nope, i did some tests with pyautogui and its really droping inputs from time to time (randomly when delay between keys is less than 150ms). Didnt noticed any particular scenario unfortunatly :worried:

I like the graphics a lot, so cute. The sound was great and the atmosphere of the game was nice. Very cool and funny entry!

It’s too hard! I couldn’t get over the score needed to beat the first day and retyping again from the beginning is annoying and not fun, maybe you could cut that part and when you restart the game you begin from day 1. The pixel art is nice and also the idea!

@jsec Thanks a lot for your comment, me and @ignaciogamedev will check it as soon as possible! Thank you so much mate!

@dani-desa oh... Yeah, the point it's that your life it's currency, so if you fail to the mafia, your legs will be broke.. (hahaha) sorry for the bad experience, we will try to improve it. Maybe this game made you a better typer now! Anyways hope you liked it! <3

I really like the concept and art style, Great game

Things I didn't like:

- The bass part of the music made me think that I had made a mistake, I was confused
- When I made a mistake, I had to wait for the error animation to continue typing. If I realized that I messed up and continued typing before the animation was finished, it got me another error, because I had already typed a lot of things. It made me feel angry haha.
- Repeating words is not bad, but consecutive words I think are not cool on typing games. I had to type "mortadella" three times in a row xP. Variation is nice.

Things I liked:
- The pixel art is very beautiful!
- The change of music between gameplay and "cutscenes" are nice.
- Mafia theme is funny.
- Screen shake is juicy.
- The sound effects when you get things right and when the level finishes are satisfactory!
- The game has a well specified scope, with 10 lvls and a finish screen, I know how hard this is for a jam game xD.
- The "tutorial" teaching the core mechanic of the game being made into the "cutscene" to introduce the theme was smart and well done!
- I haven't noticed any bugs, my experience was smooth.

I love typing games, had fun playing it, congratulations!

Awesome game! I love how people join to different types of gameplay in a game!

The music looped a lot.
But overall, a good game!

Man, I love typing games. The overall game was pretty alright, though I felt like it was too easy (but maybe that's just because I play way too much Typing of the Dead). The time I didn't make a net profit was the very last day.

Great art. Misses some keys.

Haha, a painful reminder how much I suck at typing. Lost on day 3 but it was fun while it lasted. Others probably have said this but sometimes a person will request a product twice in a row and the UI isn't really clear about that which is confusing. I like the graphics and music, feels good overall!

@drevilbrain it's hard to made the right dificulty... Some feedbacks said it was hard, others said that is so easy... Thanks for the comment!

@eduardo-yukio what a complete feedback, thanks for your comment, made us improve! Hope you liked it!

Really great pixel art :thumbsup:
As others already mentioned, seems to drop some inputs (might be a WebGL/HTML related problem?)

Ce jeu est vraiment hyper cool et complet, très innovant et j'ai passé un bon moment en y jouant, le game play est rigolo et inattendu

Good Work! never thought a typing game could be so interesting!

But personally I just couldn't under how your game fit the theme. Anyway, a very interesting and completed game.

I had to give you 5 start in every category. :D I just love your game so much! The art is beautiful, the idea is great, the execution is the best! Awesome work!

Thanks for this game! It is really interesting for me. This game can teach me to write faster on the keyboard

This was really surprisingly fun! The whole presentation from the music to the art to the animation is really well done. The difficulty curve was a little slow, but that is better than too fast for game jam game. My only real complaint is that getting the same word 2 (or 3!) times in a row is a little awkward to deal with. It's not so obvious when it changes because you think you might still be typing the last letter of the previous word, but the game has actually moved onto the first letter of the second word (same word in this case). Still very fun!

Very cool! You've also convinced me that Web ported games seem to do much better!! ;) A great game in any platform!!

What an original idea ! Love this game ! The graphics are really good and this shorthand typist gameplay is fun !

Very nice idea, also using the introductory conversation both as a tutorial and as a settings setup was really clever. Well done!

The mafia broke my kneecaps day three, after the difficulty went from Gum to Mayonnaise. There may be a better way to ease into the difficulty there, but very cute!

I loved the game! Music and sound effects were perfect, the pixel art styl was great too, and even the menus are great. It´s a simple but very polished game, not to say very challenging for the slow typers as me. Good job!

I swear at first I didn't get the point, but when I realized we needed to type as fast as possible it got really fun! This was a great ideia :)

Nice typing game :keyboard:

I'm Italian and I really enjoyed this game, had a good laugh. Only thing is that the music sometimes restarts (don't know if it's intentional)
But great job guys. Siete grandi!

This was a lot of fun. Very cute. Thanks!

Hello there! I enjoyed the game a lot. Even if I'm Italian, for this time only I will not ask you to pay, just because the game is very fun to play XD I liked the music and the graphics. The animations are so pretty (a big italian boss should not say "pretty") but you hit a soft spot in my heart. Great job!!

Fun and polished.

Really liked your game! the art is great and i'm always a sucker for typing games. thanks for commenting on my post! :)

This is a really interesting take on the theme, although I'm not sure if it's necessarily the most fitting; regardless, I like it. The art is excellent and the music is also darned good! Sometimes it seems like the game isn't wanting to enter what I'm typing-- I'll press a key and nothing will happen at all. (Does it perhaps have something to do with me playing the web build?) Aside from that, this is a very good entry!

I am not a good 'typper' but yet I love typing games! And this is no exception. Great stuff you got there, nice art, nice use of theme. Thanks ! :)

Ayy that's pretty good! Fun game.

I think it's a pretty polished simple game, although I think the theme for this one is "Your legs are currency" and you can live without legs! Anyways, good job with your entry!

I really enjoyed playing this! The art, motion, sfx make the game really juicy and heighten the experience (great signs of a polished game)! My biggest criticisms are:

- When I made a mistake it took me a bit to realize that there was an animation that plays and so I often lost more points because I was typing during the animation
- The same word being repeated made me mistakenly think that I had made a mistake and the word had reset

Despite those things though, this was a blast! Well done!

Hilarious game, made me realize how bad I am at typing xD

Pretty fun typing game! Since its setting is Italy, I think using Italian words would have been a cool mechanic... Even though I'm a bit biased, being from Italy :flag_it: myself... :)

Really liked this one, nice work!

Very nicely done game! Simple but works very well and its very challening, especially to someone like me who makes typos all the time lol great work!

A nice typing game. I really liked the audio and the nice pixel art.

A nice typing game. I really liked the audio and the nice pixel art.

Cool game! It was really simple, but absorbing gameplay. I just dont know how it fits the theme. Neverless good job!

@steffo at the last levels are some words like "Tagliatelle" "Carbonara" "Agnolotti" !! hahahahaha :D :D

@flamus the mafia will broke your legs mate! <3 <3

This is excellent! It's more subtle with the theme than some other games, but I can see how it fits. I love the ominous theme that plays every time the Mafia enter the shop, it really sets the tone that you *do not* want to mess with these guys. It was a really nice touch making you type their dialogue as well, really made me feel like I was under their control.

The words got a bit repetitive at times, especially in the second phase ("pineapple", "mayonnaise" etc), which lasted noticeably longer than the others. I think the difficulty ramp could have been a bit smoother - looking at the reviews, I'm not the only one who panicked a little when the Italian words suddenly appeared! I also noticed the same issue as @hunter-towe where the web build just sometimes doesn't register a key press - I type so fast that I couldn't tell when I'd made an actual mistake and when the game just hadn't registered what I'd typed.

I cleared the game on my first try with a score of 91, which I think is pretty good. Well done!

Excellent game, it is so good to play !
As asid before the only really thing that annoyed me was the mistake animation. The fact that we have to wait for it to finish is removing a little bit of the pressure that you build up during a round. I like my fingers to not stop for 1 second before starting typing again :)

Good job guys !

Fun game. Only real problem I have with it is that it doesn't register the key sometimes (especially when typing fast) and if you type the wrong letter you have to wait a bit before you can continue typing sometimes resulting in another mistake.

Besides that, it's a nice game and a unique take on typing games.

Excelent game, it is interesting how you choose to work with the theme, it's pretty subtle the way it fits (As mafia protects you but if you don't do what they wan't they will make you pay with your life)

buuuut, I don't get why I need to type the mafia's speech as well, as it's not me who is talking.

Awesome graphics and cool sound, it really helps to create the game's mood

Congratulations, bro!! ^^

Cool, I got to day 7 before the mafia broke my legs. Like the game, really well designed from a holistic standpoint. I especially love the way you tutorialised the mechanics of the game by making you type the mafia conversations at the start.

@shunaky we tryed to incorporate there the tutorial of the game! :D Thanks for the comment & feedback!
