Typeroids

Asteroids remade into a typing game.

Type the corresponding letters to make the asteroids explode!

You can get pretty far by just button bashing but will lose a lot of points that way so no need to try.

Edit: updated now, apparently it was possible to get a lot of points by button bashing, well not anymore since you'll lose some health now.

Awesome

Great Game!
It had a nice addictive quality to it while staying extremely simplistic.
Keep up the good work!

Qwerty

For a typing game it's well done. There are some problems with it however:

It's pretty boring to look at. Even Asteroids has more interesting to look at options. You took out the ship and I'm pretty sure the UFO, that doesn't help.

The other main problem is you can's see the letters they break off into until the explosive flash ends. It doesn't seem long but when you've got ten asteroids it gets hectic. In the original you could just keep shooting.

Thanks for the feedback, the UFO sounds like a pretty good idea, will work on that later.

For now I've already placed the explosion behind the new asteroids so you can see them better.

LOL.

Where was this during my typing classes. Anyways nice concept, and game it itself was fine but it would be nice is if you add some things like a gunner that can have upgrades and stuff along those lines.

Good Couple of Minutes

Like the title says I liked this quickie. The simple menu was appropriate for the scope of the game. Gameplay got pretty hectic (in a good way) quick, but once I had a strategy down it was a matter of how long i wanted to keep playing. Adding asteroids that you shouldn't blow up or some kind of power-ups would make the replay value skyrocket.

Pretty nice.

Got me entertained for a bit. Gets boring fast altough. Next time, make it so we lose points when we strike a wrong key. That would stop people who would just mash their keyboards for mass points.

rvh86 responds:

it already works that way, if you start button bashing at random you'll lose a lot of points!
