Graphics were great, and the music fit perfectly.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The only problem I had is when you hesitate even a bit, it sends your command, which might make you lose progress.

Great graphics and a nice tune too. Unfortunately, it's a little too easy: because the amount of words in the game is so low, it's quite easy to beat by just spamming the same word over and over again, and repeating that for every type of monster on the screen. It's much easier to type &quot;Burn Burn Burn&quot; than to type &quot;Burn Ember Candle&quot; -- too bad!"},{"author_name":"internetpaulicy","author_uid":"25260","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 3:20am","epoch":1429499700,"text":"I am a terrible typer!

In the end I decided an RPG would require too much art so I went with this idea as I already had the ground work built.\r\n\r\nHope you enjoy, and would love to hear your feedback.\r\n\r\n\r\nNOTE\r\n----\r\nSome people are having some issues with the HTML5 build from unity, seems like it crashes sometimes on load. If you get an error and refreshing doesn't fix it, please let me know what the error is so I can look into it thanks.\r\n\r\nUPDATE 1: Looks like it could be a Chrome on Linux and Mac issue, Firefox seems to fix the issue for some. Will try to fix the bug ASAP.\r\n\r\nUPDATE 2: Attempted to fix the issue, Not sure if it's fixed but I haven't had any reports of it being broken.\r\n\r\n\r\nTools\r\n------\r\nUnity\r\nPhotoshop\r\nBFXR\r\nAutotracker.py\r\n\r\n\r\nHow to play\r\n-----------\r\nType The keywords on screen using your keyboard.\r\n\r\nControls: Keyboard\r\n\r\n\r\nExplanation\r\n-----------\r\nThere are 10 levels see if you can type your way to the end. I have beaten it, but it might take a try or two for your first time. Also the coolest part of my game is losing, just so you know.\r\n\r\nUPDATE 1: Hopefully Fixed the bug were the chat bubble lasts too long and blocks your view from what to type. Also added some words to the dictionary and reduced the difficulty. (which, with the new words, should even out the difficulty as it was before)\r\n\r\n\r\nFollow me\r\n---------\r\nTwitter: https:\/\/twitter.com\/tylermatchett","title":"Type Commander"}
