Hello, I really liked the game but can you please put sound settings? Muting the music in particular.
Because even though it's fun after a while it gets repetitive and I'm not really a fan of the lyrics :D I just want to keep listening to whatever I was listening to on Spotify before I opened the game.
This was made in a 48-hour game jam, and I generally don’t go back and add extra features to projects like this (even if I had the time to!).
This one in particular placed well in the Ludum Dare game jam, so it’s very possible someone will stumble into it as a reference for a 48-hour jam game. Adding extra QOL features after the fact might give a misleading impression of what scope of game can be made in that time. So I prefer to leave games like this alone as a sort of “time capsule” — bugs, issues, and all.
A very fun little game that reminded me ALOT of school days with the typing tutor games in computer lab, specifically the mode where you were 'driving' and errors showed up as bugs splattered on the windshield.
Umm...my screen is grey. Maybe it's because I'm playing on a Chromebook or what but I've tried several times and every time it's a black square and grey background. I really wanna play though, it sounds like a really cool game :( please someone reply to this or someone FIX THIS!!!
Yes, it's on a Chrome browser. Maybe it's because of the Chromebook brand, or model or what but if it helps this is a C202S ASUS Chromebook. If you can fix it that would be great, and it's ok if it takes a long time. I can wait.
Your recent update to fix some random error pushed this game to the top of the New list, and now it's the top of New & Popular. Really solid game, easy to learn, and the upgrades seemed impactful. I'd love to see a version of this that was more about trying to "stay alive" by not letting the ants escape. Like you had a limited number of "crumbs" by the keyboard and when the ants got them all it was game over.
I usually hate typing games. Mainly because i use 3 different keyboard languages with different alphabets daily, so usually i get overwhelmed. But in this the speed bonus wasn't forced and if i needed time to put together a longer word, i didn't feel too pressured to do so. The music and sound were great. The visual quickly got crowded, but not too bad.
Over all the only complaint i have is that the game ends with an upgrade sellection before going to the endscreen and restarting, which seems like an oversight. But overall its a great game! Really liked this one.

I really enjoyed this game. I think perhaps my favourite aspect was zany break gaps drink mouse horse plant.
Being this my second language, its not that bad of a score i think

Shank go brrr
I used Khafs cause that is the only word that hits all and I got a similar score like yours
Nice! 28080 final score

Interesting, this was happening before but I thought I had fixed it. Assume it’s happening on Chrome browser if you’re using a Chromebook?

try restarting your chromebook or search in youtube
Thanks for da info
<|:)
Mine does it too, but after I pressed Enter then it load as usua
I tried Enter, it didn't work
pretty good game, it let me put in gingivitis
this is legitimately the greatest game I have ever played xD
make endless please
This is a great idea! I would love to see it developed further with a few more levels. Feel like i could lose track of time playing this one
A little gameplay, a little critique ;)
guess i have to find the diccionary
I will be playing this live, tomorrow 1/29 around 630 PM EST.
Good game, you should learn how to play the bugle.
Meme is not a word?
mmkay
Omg I loved this game! I need an endless mode, really, this helps me alot with learning more words in english, and is so fun! Great job!!
yeah :)
got 39020 score
This was great - is it possible to lose? It needs an endless mode!
1. Cool game
2. i dont know enough words in englisch including the letter q except for squirrel - cries in non native apparently xD
3. WHAT DO YOU MEAN HEBREW IS NOT A WORD
Fucks is surprisingly effective with all the bombs. On the 2nd to last level with all the normal ants, you just spam fucks and hit them all :D
I tried 'Sunday' but it was invalid. It's fine if you are a workaholic.😊👍
It’s using a Scrabble-like word list — so no proper nouns like Sunday, Tokyo, George, etc.
Thanks for playing!
Completely in love with the concept! :-) also pretty nice visualization!
revered isn’t a word ):<. Also it would be nice if ~ (comma) / (comma) , (comma) and - could be part of words. Example: K-pop
since you're going to complain about revered, k-pop also isn't a word. K-pop is a abbreviation for korean pop music, as I'm sure you know.
True but in the context of the real world it may as well be because it is used so often that some people don’t even know what the K is for
Huh, “revered” is working just fine for me!
It’s using a Scrabble-like word list for valid words — so no hyphenated words, or proper nouns (like “Korean”).
I guess they updated it? I don’t have a screenshot or maybe there was some obscure modifier but It didn’t work for me
What a cool project !
Do you need a composer ?
One of those times it sucks to be a Dvorak typist. :)
Where do I work again?
