Keep it Cool, Man fuses the funky style with typing arcade-shooter gameplay. Add to it a mix of a stereotypical American movie like Independence Day as story and there you have it... man.

"Keep it Cool, Man" is a poorly made 2D retro pixel "typing shooter" that's more about the theme of the game than the game itself, and unfortunately the "doomsday movie" theme is presented extremely badly and in an almost racist kind of way. What do you do in the game? You're tasked with shooting asteroids (letters) that are approaching the planet. It's a bit of a QTE reflex game, but it's not worth playing due to the awful presentation and overall shallowness of the whole thing. This features really godawful pixelcrap "art" instead of real graphics. It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter. What matters is that this looks much worse than most other games because of that decision, and that's a major deterrent to gamers. Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeeded [i]despite[/i] the bad graphics, not because of them. Now on to pricing and value for gamers. Most "free" games on Steam aren't really free. There's usually some kind of monetisation, from nasty mobile app cash shops, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, to any other number of shady pricing schemes that could mislead gamers, but in this case I'm glad to say this really does appear to be a fully free game. Nothing demonstrates a developers belief in themselves and their work than giving it away without any remuneration. This is a service to themselves, and the gaming industry, and should be applauded. Of course, just because something is free, doesn't necessarily mean it's valuable, or something you might want to spend your time on. Despite having no up-front cost, this failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 4 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Not this time. This isn't worth downloading. While this won't cost you any money, you get what you pay for, and sometimes, even when the game is free, it's still not enough.

[h1]いろいろ求められるタイピングゲーム[/h1] たぶん前提としてブラインドタッチができないと厳しい。できても厳しい。Lv22以降はかなりきついと思う。 隕石みたいに向かってくるキーを範囲内で押せば撃墜するタイピングゲーム。文字を撃ち落とせずに当たったりミスタイプすると温度が上がっていき、50℃に達すると失敗。やってみると分かるがタイピング能力の他に、動体視力、判断力、運みたいなものが求められる独特のものに仕上がっている。軌道、重なり、タイミング、キー、配置などが複合して、シューティングゲームをやっている時みたいな脳や目の使い方になるのが面白い。後半ステージになると運要素がそれなりに強い印象なので、クリアできない場合は執着せずにリトライがオススメ。 ただ、フォントの種類とキーの選定に不満。止まっていたりゆっくりな動きなら見分けられるが、渦やその場回転などの動きが入るこのゲームでは厳しいタイプのものもある。IとLは高速移動されると見分けが付きづらいし、上下を見分けるためのアンダーバーがあるからと言ってnとu、wとmが左右配置の入れ替えと一緒に出てくると結構クるものがある。文字が重なったときもきつい。 まぁ個性なんだろうけれども。 やや不満もあるものの、STG的な慣れや操作、そして何より運がある程度解消してくれるし、タイピングゲームとしては新鮮な感じがするのでオススメ。ただ、タイピングゲームにある「やってやった」という感じより「しのいだ」みたいな達成感になるので、好みはわかれるかもしれない。

Keep it Cool, Man, sıra dışı stili atari tarzı nişancı oyunuyla birleştiriyor. Buna Bağımsızlık Günü gibi basmakalıp bir Amerikan filminin karışımını da hikaye olarak ekleyin ve işte karşınızda...
Hilarious and incredibly innovative. Obviously a brief passion project given the inconsistent audio quality of the voice-acting, but still a game that I think anyone into unusual games should try. I always love games with a panning camera in this style. This [i]really[/i] needs a high-score, endless arcade mode with upgrades between waves, such as increasing visibility or attack range, slow auto-cooling, etc. Then it'd absolutely rock!
[code]For other game reviews, please [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/40640212/]follow us at What The Game?[/url][/code] Keep It Cool, Man is a rhythm game where your keyboard is the dance floor and your fingers are your feet. Earth is being invaded by letters of the alphabet and y o u havg jto de f ean- Wow! sorry, I don't know what happened there. Ahem... clears throat as I was saying, letters of the alphabet are invading and it's your job behind that screen there, to repel the space invading alphabet with your quick thinking brain and fingering skills. Worth noting is that Keep It Cool, Man was made by a small team of 3. They've adorned Keep It Cool, Man with some awesome upbeat music that tunes well with the gameplay, and the writing is straight up hilarious as it's jam-packed full of innuendos and sassy jokes. There aren't many characters but each has their own personality that compliments the pace of the storytelling as well as the topics that come up. The mechanics of the game is quite simple and intuitive for a rhythm game. The Earth is in the middle of the screen and around the earth is a white zone, as the invading letters reach this white zone, you're allowed to press the corresponding letter and blast them into ashes. Press too early when they're outside the zone and you'll incur a penalty to your score. As the game progresses, more letters are required to be used for each level, soon you'll be using both the left and right ends of the keyboard and the speed of the incoming letters will plummet towards earth in a variety of patterns, from zigzags to swirls. The writing in the game is the best I've seen in awhile, which I honestly wasn't expecting but welcome wholeheartedly. You have to laugh when the only solution to ward off the alphabet invaders is to dance, and when telling the president to run, he says "I can't! I ate too many donuts in my youth!". One feedback that I have to bring up though, is that the screen shakes during conversational cutscenes are quite powerful, to the point where I couldn't actually read the dialogue and it was painful to read. So keep that in mind. I thoroughly enjoyed the game! I have to give credit where credit is due, they've come up with an interesting way to mash rhythm x typing into one game. Give it a shot!
[h1]Before I played Keep it Cool, Man, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]
