Approximately a month ago I had this grinding long-arse meeting such that I should have attended but had no meaningful impact to make. So I run the game.
I played on a touchpad. Its possible, but quite inconvenient. I wish there was some hotkey on the keyboard for firing. Also, it took me more than half an hour to beat the game in this distracted meeting setting. I would suggest adding different modes - with different amount of life hearts and different target scores for those who have less time and endurance.
That said, its a great game. As a person who once tried to create a typing game, I love idea of this one. And it has the feel of completeness. And I like the music (soundtrack) and how it adds to the experience.
Quite the interesting game mechanic, using your written words as bullets!
But as soon as it comes to a point, where you need to type out "consciousness" whilst 20 enemies are going after you is quite stressful...
Thanks for giving it a try! Certainly, the game might be challenging, but don't let poor balance stress you out. It was made for GGJ 2025 (the theme was "BUBBLE"), and we didn't have much time for tweaking game parameters. Maybe further balance updates will make the experience more satisfying to you.
Keep rocking Vinomakon :)
