Really cool concept, and sort of fun. Pretty hard to recover after a typo though.
I found it quite hard to get anywhere further than the first word, because I just can't stop typing when i've read the word and then i bang into the roof! So that was a bit of a dampener on the fun factor for me..
The size of the window sure was minimal though! :)
Thoroughly enjoyable!
got 1451, after a few tries. I agree it's really hard to recover from a typo; as it's hard enough to get the timing of the letters right in order to stay in the right place. It was a lot of fun to play!
Also just got 1475; I thought I had made it a lot further though; being unable to see the score during play I'm not sure why - possibly typos penalised through score deduction too?
Cool idea, but pretty difficult.
Nice merging of two ideas, it really works.
Started off with a few bursts straight into the ceiling, but I had fun after I learned to not just type words all at once =)
Nice touch with the minimal window, too =)
I really like what you did with the background and 'walls' Not sure how the dot is a worm, but whatev :). Great, clever gameplay - very minimalist while maintaining fun and unique flavor. Biggest complaint: I was at 1588 when I lost and the letter I was typing was way off to the right so I really didn't have as much time as I wanted to look at the letters. Also, I felt like I was juggling trying to see the letters and watch the cave. Maybe a faded out overlay of the letters instead of on the bottom? I don't know if that would work, but maybe.
Nice idea, but very hard to play.
Neat. But i'm always staring at the text, so I don't get to see the scrolly go by.
I really liked this one. It'd be nice if you had a few chances to screw up though, because a typo will basically kill you as it is. "StartTypingToBegin" -- nice touch. Where's the worm though? I don't think I saw one.
these small windows makes me wish the theme wasn't minimalistic. using typing as a means to control was a fresh way to play with.
good concept- don't know where the 'worm' is though? Anyway, like the smooth style of the graphics and physics. Typos = quick death. I also had to learn like others NOT to type fast.. heh. Like the world and background images.
That was very interesting... the first typing game I've ever played that punishes you for typing fast. You really have to develop the right tempo. I don't know... it's pretty nifty, really weird, and not much of a worm.
Nice little game, great idea for the controls. The production quality is good: the game runs smoothly, the graphics are ok and it's not buggy. Good job!
1368. Pretty damn hard. It's so tempting to just type away freely when you start a word. Also surprisingly quick to start dropping too fast if you miss a letter or have to look down at your fingers. Very unexpected twist on the one-button concept for sure :)
Very good, but probably would have been better if instead of words it used touch typing exercises instead. It would have been much better than the normal touch typing tutor programs that I've used in the past.
