This is a tricky one, but fun. I wish there was a little more feedback to tell me if I pressed the keys on time, but still great work.
It takes some time to really understand how to play, but this concept is incredible, I love it !
Amazing game! I'm a big fan of your game concept. It's a fun experience, although gets more and more challenging as the game progress. At the end I was just pressing random letters XD Anyway, really good job!
Hahaha I didn't expect to get a challenge like that in this jam but I loved it! xD
I thought I knew my keyboard before playing this game! I enjoyed it and loved the voice acting, however it wasn't clear as to whether I was supposed to change on the blue square or not. Still a very fun game and very nicely presented.
Nice- really slick presentation and easy to grasp (hard to master) mechanic :D
It does let you get away with holding keys that aren’t part of the four you’re being judged for. But then, I wonder if it would be too hard if you fixed this ‘bug’, so :D
Nice visuals. This feels pretty professional. Its a fun game as well. Swell job !
Really nice and original concept, technically it is a good too. Maybe it will be better if the game checks other pressed buttons too, to exclude pressing many at once. Also, female intro voice is very good too :D
Very great quality work in this time! Really liked the idea!! It was fun to play! Cool that the crowd reacts for your misktakes, and hits! ^^
One of my favourite games in the jam! The funky music was perfect, and the way it changed dynamically as you did better or worse was so cool! It also ended up being way more difficult that I expected to remember which key was witch when you wanted to switch, but in a goo way!
Oh gosh, I didn't think I'd struggle so much since I'm a strong typer. Once I held the key I totally forgot which one it was lol. Highly impressive game! Love all the art, music, and voiceacting! I think having a slight blink or something when swapping out letters would be nice to help refocus attention.
Very cool unique game!
I was really horrible at it, and kept holding keys I didn't need to then running out of fingers. I like games that take you a bit to master.
The visuals are really cool, nice voiceover too.
Congrats on such a cool game!
This is a blast to play! It's also a blast to watch someone else play, sort of like watching someone in an arcade playing DDR. You could lean into that vibe a bit with a score that builds with how many keys you've pressed correctly, if you wanted to.
I am not a fan of the font used for the keys, though. I got confused between H & M and D & O, and when the game starts to move fast, there's just not enough time to decipher which letter I'm seeing on the screen. Save the (admittedly fun) buddle font for headings, but have the keys remain in a more legible font, please!
Also, it's possible to "break" the game by just holding down every key on your keyboard through the whole game. It's hard to do, but it still is a way to kinda "cheat". Maybe have it so you have to lift the button press before starting the next one?
Finally, I just wanted to say that the music is excellent. Not only is it fun to listen to, it also matches the pace of the game well, and it makes it easier to keep the pace of the key presses!
Overall, this is a really fun game! Great job!
Everything is said above. Great game!
The music and visuals really are fantastic. The only problem I have with the game is that it is made in Unreal. For some reason my machine hates running unreal's bloated game build files lol The game ran kind of slow for me because of this but other than that it was a fun idea (I like typing type games, those were some of the very first type of games I ever made like 13 years ago) so this had a nostalgic feel to it for me. The voice work and ambient sound was also excellent!
That is one funky game. The music is banging the mechanics are easy to understand but hard to master. It looks pretty good and plays smoothly.
Cool concept, I actually enjoyed playing a few rounds, it gets difficult quite fast but thats a good thing.
I really liked the art style and the game is fun overall.
Please take some time to review mine if you can
It was very fun to play! It was a unique concept, that I hadn't seen before. I liked the graphics very much and found the music to be well fitted. Great Game!
I tried to checkout your game, but I can't play downloads on this computer-- consider making a browser playable build next time :)
Really fun and fast gameplay to addictive beats? Sign ME UP! You guys did an amazing job with this one! All I can say now is....
My Fingers......My poor fingers!
Awesome job! It was easy at first but once it threw in the 3+ keys, I realized why it's called key twister lol. I really like all the artwork, the music, and the voiceover, very well polished!
