A surprisingly well-made font-based game with a dash of nostalgia and humour. It's not long (it took about 30 minutes to complete), but I had a lot of fun with it :)
You can play it as a browser game (https://www.coderelay.io/fontemon.html#player) or download the font (https://github.com/mmulet/font-game-engine/releases/download/1.0/fontemon_small.otf) and play it on the go on any word processor!
Huh, even though the game sucks on touchscreen, I just tried it on my phone anyways.
Apparently the spacebar doesn't work/glitches out when trying to play through animations and stuff.
Just use literally any other key for that and it works.
Edit: Due to phone's autocorrect crap going on behind the scenes, you still might want to hit space every now and then, at whatever points you might want to 'save' your progress, otherwise backspace may happen to jump way back, potentially to the beginning of the game.
fun, but also quite annoying after a while
Bleh, I already beat the game. If you're on a touchscreen, it'll totally suck. But on a PC, just hold the spacebar through all the animations and stuff, until it prompts you to press A, B, C, or D.
And of course there's always backspace to go back a move or 10 or whatever. Pretty nifty little game if you ask me.
doesnt seem to actually be a game.
It actually is!
You gotta type a bunch of random stuff to get past the intro, but once the game starts, you get to choose your actions in battles based on the letter you type. And if you don't like the outcome, just hit backspace and try something else.
Yeah yo, just load it up on a computer and hold space bar to get through the intro and through animated scenes. The game will prompt you to press A, B, C, or D for actions as necessary.
You won't find this game very entertaining at all on a mobile touchscreen.
ahhh I'm on mobile so I think its not going to be very doable.
thanks for letting me know.
