Word Weapon by EverlessDrop41

[raw]
made by EverlessDrop41 for LD32 (JAM)
I decided to have words as my weapon. You can type any word or phrase into the text box on your screen. It will then turn that word into a bullet when you fire (Left mouse click)

At the moment the words die, explode and rage might have an effect...

Perhaps 'don't' will change the outcome...

Unfortunately I was unable to get as far as I would like with this game due to certain circumstances, however I enjoyed the whole experience. This was my first Game Jam however I have done a Hackathon before.

I'm pretty happy with what I have achieved, given that I am only 13 years old.

This is definitely an interesting concept. I'd be curious to see what you could do with it if you amassed a giant list of words with different in-game functions. One thing to consider is confusion between using the keyboard to move the character and using the keyboard to type words. Also using two hands to type vs. using one hand to control the mouse. Plenty of interesting design questions to consider.

Nice idea, but wouldn't really call it a game :D Maybe that's too harsh, but anyway.

What you have is pretty cool so far. It just trying to get the balance of typing and moving. Once you got that, this would be a really cool and fun game. Please keep working on it!

I love seeing the word I typed flying out of my character's mouth! There's so much potential for this idea, I really hope you continue to develop it!

Was an interesting game. It was kind of difficult to punch in words on the fly. Would be nice to enter them at the start and swap between them. Would have interesting potential to make different words have different effects

There is powerful message inside this games, very good concept for the theme. Love the idea of "program" your bullets to do some stuff. Great work :D
