Pretty Fun! It tested my typing skills, but it was too hard.

Bigly game, absolutely yuge. A hot cup of covfefe on a cold morning. However I noticed a bug, the fireballs stopped rendering halfway through the second level, and they became invisible. I guess that's a commentary on the press getting distracted by celebrity news. ;)

really hard, the minions constantly popping the balloons at the bottom was annoying, overall had a pretty good time though

Quite fun. The people on the ground did keep camping around some of the balloon and popping them when they spawned which was a bit annoying but a pretty fun take on the theme never the less.

It took me a few tries to figure out how to play the game but once I did I found it quite enjoyable. The simple art is great.

It was interesting, a different way to think about a typing game. Decent use of the sound effects.
in reality I made it to the 5 level twice by simply typing the words over and over again as if I was writing it in detention lol. I think there was too much going on in the screen to actually keep your eyes on all of it.
Maybe think about ways to make it there be a better way to keep it from being a button masher. for instance having a delay before the enemies on the bottom spawn or only letting you get each letter to move after another one is already safe up top. or giving the player tools to help defend the letters/balloons.
Nicely done on the game.

Nice concept and an interesting typing game! Agree with others that the minions made it a little too difficult once they are all next to one letter.

Was not expecting a typing game, but that was a pleasant surprise. I do agree the minions were a little overtuned, but overall a good entry nonetheless.

@sievo @alaska Thanks for comments. Agreed I didn't quite balance the minions movement well enough. After they move to a balloon they are supposed to walk to another balloon or a random position. I think they are reacquiring the new spawned balloon too quickly.

It was quite difficult... Morality died... :( Interesting idea to have typing game combined with obstacles etc. Are the balloons supposed to stop midway sometimes?

I'm laughing so much at the "bad king" etc! The game itself is so simple and clear. I really liked the concept behind it. Very good entry!

I'm very bad at this game. Took me a while to figure out that pressing the letter made it continue to rise. I also wasn't sure if the color of the balloons mattered or the order? I think I just need to get them to safety

Took me a while to get the basic controls right definitely a tutorial level of some form could have helped(i know there is tutorial in text form at the start of the game)but regardless of that pretty cool idea,This reminds of those old Web games that we use to play back in days,good luck for the ratings man.

Interesting game. I found it too hard with more than one minion on the ground as they kept popping the final balloons I had left.

Hahahah that was quite funny :P I keep having trouble passing Level 5 tho :P The little dudes on the ground are quite aggressive with the balloons :P At least I was able to save Humility, but morality is not with us anymore :p

Good use of the theme. The gameplay is simple yet quite challenging :P
