    Since this trailer doesn't exactly explain how movement works, you have to really plan ahead as you have to enter in commands through typing not only for changing direction by typing 'up', 'down', 'left', or 'right', but this builds on another similar game by adding extraction, enemies, weapons, and other mechanics to the gameplay loop, all initiated by typing.

      From what i've seen, it's a neat idea, but not sure it's interesting to me since "moving" is mostly going to be spamming "asdfasdfasdf" or whatever and then getting good at estimating/pausing long enough to type commands at the right moment.

      It's a neat idea, but the weird "just mash asdf" being a key part of the loop throws me off.

        this just seems like a more challenging tron lightcycle-like game, which wouldn't be any different from just spamming the arrow/wasd keys anyway.
