this game is amazing!!!!! I love this game so much,I cant believe such a small game is quite funny,wish more more content to play~~~

your game is incredibly satisfying, love it

It is very addictive and charming! I really like the style you've chosen for it

Nice one! I wish you'd implemented something when a wrong key is pressed, otherwise mashing the entire keyboard seems to be the best strategy

@gargantuan-janitor I actually originally did have that implemented - but I ended up changing it to make it less punishing/less confusing why you lost. I'll have to see if I can find some better feedback for that case and add it back in. Thanks for playing!

nice! the hole punch at the end makes it all worth it!

can't express how much i loved it! lovely entry!

This game is so intuitive and fun, the camera zooming out during the gameplay and the feedback showing the score at the end of the game releases the tension in the front, but also fits the theme. I love your game.

I love the sounds that buttons make. I also really enjoyed the game, but I was upset that I would not be able to go beyond the impossible.

Nice! An unexpectedly addictive game. Or is it just me who likes to bang on the keyboard? :D

Nice simple idea that is well replayable and fun! Definitely a nice break from platformers/using WASD or arrow keys. Cohesive visuals and overall presentation bring it together nicely as well. Great job!

Side note, I couldn't really see the letters in the Ludum Dare webplayer. Itch.io works fine though.

what's wrong with unity embeds? Still shows unity logo endlessly...

Nice game ! It's not working very well when you an Azerty keyboard sadly, but the concept is funny and the presentation charming.


Goom game with humor! Wish I could type in russian keyboard ^_^

44 meters Les Goooooooooooooo

This game is super fun, I had a great time trying to get deeper and deeper. It gets really tense when the timer gets quicker and it makes for a really fun little challenge.

I did only a 20m deep hole because I don't have a qwerty keyboard :'(((
But i really like your game, didn't expect it to be typing game, it was fun!!

This game was simple, but effective! It was such a a joy to play. Feeling panic from the audio as you get higher and higher and higher and then I forget how to type and dive-bomb! I attempted the keyboard smash method mentioned in these comments and I locked my computer and turned on my graphics card overlay, so maybe not the strat after all. :P

Clean execution:) Had to switch my language, but I'm used to that ^-^ I'd have personally put more emphasis on feedback (more effects like screenshake / colors / particles) that drives urgency. Make it even more dramatic! But I really enjoy this game, I'll keep it bookmarked for sure ^-^

The victory sound feels a bit loud (even though it nails the vibe) especially compared to the music. The graphics could also use a bit more style. Still, everything works well; it’s a solid little game. There’s something really cathartic about jumping higher and higher, then falling back down.

Simple and fun. I had to laugh hard when the dude hit the ground the first time. Really cool!

An original idea, sad that it require a QWERTY keyboard to play comfortably.

Like @littlegamer mentioned AZERTY keyboards are the unofficial HARD mode.
I love the feel and the overall animation polish of each segments, it feels like a well-made mini game that you would find in a mario party game, love it!

good job, and practiced touch typing and had a laugh:D

So interesting a game! I really like it!
A suggestion would be, maybe it's a good idea to show a word for the player to type

I appreciated the increasing tension as the jump sound effect got progressively higher pitched over time. Minor things like that help a simple challenge become even more intense.

It'd be hard to add to the game without ruining its simplicity. One idea would be to give the player a choice between two keys, and power up weight vs height - with different effects in the resulting hole. But honestly, I don't think that's an improvement.

Overall, the simplicity pulls the game together and makes it a joy to play. Well done!

Haha, good one, I like typing games. The dash into the ground is very fun and satisfying to look at. This is one of those games where the leaderboards would be really awesome, so that we can compare our scores. I managed to get 48 meters deep, though definitely with a bit of luck!

I wasn't expecting that kind of gameplay but its really nice!

This was great, would be perfect minigame for one of those type trainer websites. Anyone that can beat my score?


amazing game! fun to play!


As someone who's idea of gaming as a child was typing tournament, this is my kinda game. Loved it! will be back to defend my record if needed ;)

Nice! FIVE STARS!


To be honest, the game is so simple yet so fun ! I really loved the interpretation of the game, I feel like I could play lots of games without seeing the time pass ! Great one :) One downside is that my keyboard has an azerty disposition which is not handled by the game, so I have to swap in my mind where the keys are


A really fun game! I immediately shared it with friends, and we had a competition! :smile:
(is this the current highscore? :eyes:)

This would be great turned into a touch typing exercise. Will definitely play some more!

Wow, I think my high score was 52m so it looks like I'm no longer the world hole punch record holder. Congrats @xwilq!

And thanks to everyone else who's been playing/posting their scores!

53 is my record! fun to play around and compete with friends, Had a nice laugh

This game is super cool!!!

Not anymore brother  @xwilq

Pathetic


extremely simple but loved it,
fun character
got slightly annoyed that it didn't register the right letters for QWZA since I have an azerty keyboard
but nevertheless super fun entry

@yopin dear god, he’s done it. He’s reached the edge of the earth. The Prophecy has come true!

Such a fun, well-executed concept! I got 62m three times in a row.

hahah i got to 46m. that's a fun take on the theme :)

Crazy game I love this!!! Really creative idea and lots of humor. My reaction time only supports me to this far.

10/10 would punch hole again

Very simple but surprisingly fun. Good way to practise touch typing :P

This is a very well done example of how a simple concept can be super fun. Only issue I found is Z/Y is swapped in my country so I keep getting wrecked by them.

What a great entry. Simple gameplay, consistent graphics, good audio. And here I'm thinking I knew my way around a keyboard - sadly, results were unsatisfying (around 40m)... and that got me wondering, how is it possible that some people were able to achieve so much better results? Well, obviously, they cheated, like me here:


:stuck_out_tongue: Great entry, thanks!

So simple and SOOO fun

Simple but fun and really well made. A fun take on the theme as well. Great job!

Short but fun game. Also I like how you used the jam theme, great game.

Nice! Love the tiny jingle that plays when your score is announced. Very funny :-)

Ba-bow!

Ah, I love typing games! This is so much fun, and I love all the audio effects. Tapping out at 58m!

Well done. The mechanics of typing shouldn't make sense for the theme, but you made it work. I love the music and sound effects as well!

Love that it is so simple, yet so fun still. Reminds me a bit of old yetisports flash games which I spent a bit too much time in tbh :)

It so simple, but so fun, like visuals and sound, dont know how man above scored 92 meters, inhuman reaction. Great job

Beautifully simple and funny! It's amazing how much the audio, animation timing, and camerawork really punch up the humor.

I tried over and over again to get to 60m, but I don't think I'd be able to do any better without just getting really lucky with the random letters.


Great work!

Totally legit, I swear:


Even if you don't care about cheating it could be interesting from a gameplay perspective to figure out some penalty for spamming keys!

Haha absolutely love the style here - definitely evokes all the whimsical weirdness of katamari or parappa the rapper. Short, sweet, and lovely - excellent entry

I LOVE THIS GAME!

Love to see simple games, I came in planning to make one but then overscoped as always. Not much to say here, there isn't much but what is there works well - the visuals are clear, the audio keeps you in the game and the mechanics work. The only things that really need to be changed are the issues mentioned above regarding keyboard layouts and a penalty system for pressing the wrong key. Good stuff, well done!

Cool fun little game! loved the concept, very funny :thumbsup:

Ah ah! Fun little game with a neat aesthetic. The main idea is clever. I did not expect some kind of games using the keyboard - according to the theme, but why not? However, there is a little problem for those who play with an azerty keyboard (I do). The letters are not the same. I guess that we have to play exclusively using a qwerty keyboard - or you can allow this choice including a menu. Just an idea. Thank you for this good game - and your comment about my own project. I wish you the best ++

Simple and straighforward yet very fun and creative game! Visuals and sound do a great job at creaing tension while you type heheh


Its not as impressive as 162 m, buuuuuut its smth.
Super simple, super effective.
This slaps actually!

Artstyle is simple but really good. The games hard but fair and yeah...
Its just cool, dunno what else to say

The simplest idea, well executed, wins. :rocket:

Very simple, very gud.

This was lovely and a fun little entry...
Until my son and wife saw me play and THEN IT WAS A CONTEST
My wife won with 42m...
This captured our time!

oh that game is so short and so funny, now i know that my hole is 48 meters deep, what a useful knowledge)

haha, great game. Simple idea, well executed!

Love the art style and humor! Only managed 44m, but I was never any good at typing games :D

Love your interpretation of the theme! It's a very simple game, but well-executed with nice graphical flair and responsive sound effects
