Hey devs! 👋
I’m excited to share my latest indie game: Alpha Bomb — a fast-paced typing defense game built in Godot.

If you like games that test your reflexes and improve your typing, you’ll enjoy this one. 😄

🎮 What Is Alpha Bomb?

Imagine this:

You're defending a city from falling bombs.

Each bomb has a single alphabet letter.

To destroy the bomb? Type that letter before it hits the ground.

If you miss too many, your city starts to crumble...

It’s simple, addictive, and fun — with a retro vibe and an educational twist.

🛠️ How I Built It (Using Godot!)

As a huge fan of open-source engines, I chose Godot for this project — and it was a blast! Here are some behind-the-scenes highlights:

💡 Typing Mechanics

Using InputEventKey in Godot, I mapped each falling bomb’s letter to real-time keyboard inputs. This gave the game a responsive and satisfying feel — every keystroke is a mini victory.

🎯 Collision & Timing

Each bomb is a node that tracks its vertical movement. If it reaches the bottom and hasn't been typed, the game deducts health from the city. Managing performance with dozens of bombs onscreen taught me a lot about optimization and pooling.

🔊 Sound & Feedback

I used subtle sound cues and explosions to reward correct typing, and dramatic screen shakes when the city takes damage. Feedback = immersion.

💥 Why I Made This Game

I wanted to:

Practice real-time input handling

Build something fast and replayable

Create a game that’s fun but also boosts typing skills
Turns out, “simple” games can teach you a ton — especially around input logic, game states, and UX polish.

✅ Feedback on difficulty, pacing, or ideas
✅ Bug reports (if any)
✅ Sharing it with friends who like typing games
✅ A comment here on what you'd like to see added next (leaderboards, power-ups, mobile port?)
