It looks pretty decent as well and it runs without trouble.\r\rHaving more buttons than just the two you're controlling is a clever take on the subject. Alas the gameplay isn't that engaging to really keep it up for very long. But for people who are into beating highscores, this might scratch that itch for them :)\r\rThere could have been a little more audio and the audio that is there could be a little louder. Maybe you can focus on that subject the next time!"},{"author_name":"pinion","author_uid":"19121","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 9:41am","epoch":1450085760,"text":"Guess which button I kept hitting once I'd put my whole code in?

It is a game where you try to achieve the highest score.\r\nIt is a reaction based game where you have to coordinate player\u00b4s hand between the 8 character keys and 3 utility keys in order to type the code displayed on the monitor.\r\nThere are 3 big changes and one continuous change making the gameplay a little bit harder and faster. (These changes are listed down below under the \"Spoiler line\")\r\n\r\n(Just funfacts)\r\nThe whole game consists only of cubes and the highscore is only on the local machine. It is my first entry at Ludum Dare. I worked something between 8 and 11 hours on this game. My idea -> How to make you as player use more buttons even though you can control the game with only two buttons.\r\n\r\n\r\nHave Fun!\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n-----Spoilers------\r\n\r\nChanges:\r\n\r\n[Continuous] The length of words get longer with your increasing high score (min 3 - max 17 characters)\r\n\r\nBigger changes:\r\n\r\n1. After achieving 750 Score you begin to type faster.\r\n\r\n2. After 2:30 Minutes of in-game time, the time changes from limitless time per round to a countdown based on your score and in-game time.\r\n\r\n3. After 4:40 Minutes of in-game time you have to type the words in reversed order.\r\n","title":"CodeTyper 0506"}
