TypeIdol: Zombies

"TypeIdol: Zombies" is our entry to TriJam #385 - "Cute But Dangerous". 

This is a typing game, inspired by Typing of the Dead. 

Words from the left and right fly towards the player character. 

You need to type all the words to prevent them from hurting you. 

Typing a CUTE word heals a zombie. You must heal all zombies before time runs out. 

Dev Commentary: 

I worked on this game with "Moe", an artist.

Woo! Our first gamejam, and my second application working with Godot! 

I vastly underestimated the scope of a simple game and spent around 9 hours total on getting the implementation working. I learned a lot, and feel that I could halve that time if I did the same thing again.

The game needs to be tuned quite a bit and a lot of polished added, specifically around the word movement. 

Moe's art for the project was critical and added a lot of personality.
