Sadlands

[Setting the game to fullscreen unfocuses the main textbox, if that happens to you, click the textbox with the mouse. I cannot influence that behavior as of now]

A great sadness plague has befallen the people of the Sadlands.
Save them by encouraging them with positivity! Help yourself and others by practicing positive reinforcement and watch the positivity spread throughout the fauna and flora of the Sadlands. 

Be on the lookout though, there are beings feeding on the sadness, they will try to prevent you from reaching your goal. Arm yourself in the shop and face them head on!

Sadlands is a typing game centered around positivity, positive reinforcement and keeping those skilled fingies nice and toasty. Thanks for playing, you goblins.

I am a solo dev and this is the first time I finished a game. Everything you see, hear or type is made by me from the start of the Pirate Software Game Jam 14. It has taught me a lot about game development, but most of all it has taught me something about myself....

 I F#@%ING LOVE GAME DEVELOPMENT!!!!1!11 AND I MADE SOME MUSIC like what the hell? ME?

For those who like the game: Regardless of the outcome of the jam, I will build this game out with the features described in the Game Design Document and more, since I personally find it enjoyable to play (despite never playing typing games before) and I think it has a lot of potential.

Controls:
