Funny little game, but nothing going on other that spamming dfjk.

Submitted

It's funny. Almost feels like a meme I'm not aware of =)

Submitted

Arriving at the peak feels great, too bad you then have to climb so much more.

Funny little game, great job!

ha ha ha !

Liked the moment the music comes with the camera zoom-out : great sensation.

Submitted

I think it's a cool concept and well visually represented as well. Some more gameplay features would be nice though, as well as the letters appearing a bit faster. Good job!

Submitted

Lol, great twist on the meme

I found it pretty fun at first, but the game gets repetitive after a while. There is neither a penalty for getting a letter wrong, nor a reward for beating a level, but maybe the game could be more fun with a bit more work.

Submitted

Maybe you could let Scalephus move left and right as well, using other random keys, and sometimes obstacles roll down the mountain that he has to dodge. That would fix all of my complaints with the game.

Submitted

What did I just play ? :-D

Submitted

it was a pretty fun game

Submitted

It is a really well done game, really funny, and the theme is clearly present. 

However, since there’s no penalty for failure, you can just spam all the letters hoping to get it right.

Congrats.

Submitted

Its a very funny submission! I doubt any other submission will make me chuckle like this one did xD
Beyond that, there's not much substance but it is pretty fun for what it is

Submitted

I think this would make a great typing learning game. There probably needs to be a penalty of some kind for typing the wrong key though.

Submitted

I am glad to find out I am not a keyboard warrior with how terrible I was fun and simple!

Submitted

LMAO i went to the comments hopping to find an easter egg. Great game, made my question my whole life tho

Submitted

The very definition of futility.  Really good use of the theme and honestly a good game.  Great job!
