Hi, I'm Lilith! I need to get to 4000 watch hours to finally get paid by Youtube! Feel free to check out my video!
I loved it the game was very goo
I Did It! So Cool.
I do the Hello_World thing and then nothing, He just stands there- no prompt- Why is not working?
Hi, try clicking on the game screen and then move around using the arrow keys on your keyboard?
Cute short game
So cute I loved it thank you thank you <3 <3
very short game
Aw I love the typing mechanic, so cute.
A very cute and wholesome game. I can't wait for the sequel <3
I beated the game
there are areas on the game that are blocked by a big black square, why is that? one of them is the island on the top right, the other is the ig pizza
cute short and wholesome
CUTEEEE
so cute :D
That's so Adorable! I'm not crying, you're crying!
this is very good
Super cute game ! The concept is great and very well executed ✨
Can't wait for the sequel 🌈🐊
this was so cute, came from the sequel trailer. i shit you not i got goosebumps when i finally got the beetle back
edit: i wonder how fun this game would be in other languages such as chinese/japanese where they have characters that can be full words. there's also stroke order but that might be too far from the original vision
pretty cool!
This is amazing! Can't wait for the sequel ;D
Awsome Idea! it would be cool if there were words that had two meanings! Also, it would be fun to type what you hear as well. This game is COOL!
i got my b-e-e-t-l-e
This was so cute! Im so glad I clicked on it! I also LOVED the different puzzles. wishlisted on steam<3
This is such an adorable little game. So quick and I usually dont do typing games but this made me enjoy it. Def playing the sequel when it is out.
this game was awesome, i will abslolutly play the sequel
fire game so excited for the sequel
i would love to try, the keys don't seem to work though, how can i fix this? i can type "start" and "hello_world", the rest is just a bit confusing, i read about the window too, could someone explain?
Thanks for trying our game! Once through the “hello_world” screen, you shouldn’t have to do anything for it to continue working! If keys aren’t responsive though try clicking on the game window with your mouse. Have fun - cheers!
After the Hello_World screen, it gets stuck on the lil croco guy and wind noises.
Have you tried moving around using the arrow keys?
Yep! Got it!!! Thanks so much <
it simple and fun to play, it really relaxing
Really cool! I feel like this idea could be expanded on a lot in the future! Good luck with the sequel and I'm gonna go wishlist that now.
