Deep Dark Dank Dusty Musty Dirty Decrepit Massive Moist Manholes by CharlieLove
DDDDMDDMMM is a simple typing game. Birthed from the likes of Nintendos Game & Watch Manhole and those ridiculously stressful blinking platforms from Donkey Kong Country, DDDDMDDMMM sees the players tasked with guiding their little goblins and ogre minions to the other side of the screen without any accidental deaths.
Goblins are the little green guys. They're super fast and run to the right. Ogres are quite large and quite slow and go to the left.
Power is used to activate the manhole covers. These last for about three seconds before deactivating. Power is given as needed based on minions on screen. This was done to prevent people with mechanical keyboards spamming keys. Note that the power also only goes to 10 (10 fingers).
Created for the 29th Ludum Dare Game Jam.

(I think I'm too stupid to multitask more than one task n.n)
In any case, a fun idea, would love to see someone acing this game...
That someone is not me though, try as I might, I can only save one goblin at a time...
Fantastic game - damn tricky. I feel like it was too slow at the beginning (especially when you die straight away and have to wait for the lil' fella to fall) but thinking it was too slow doesn't last long...
oh. :D
I saw this game while it was in development and had a hard time understanding what it was all about. With the graphics you added it all makes sense.
Liked the idea though, an original game mechanic well implemented.
Good stuff
