It's incredible how frustratingly difficult it is to type slight mutations of words that I recognize. Your game was like a research project being executed on my head!
I laughed. I emailed a link to my wife. I thought it was really clever and well done. The music and art go very well and I dig the blowing-away-the-critters animation. Very well done.
Innovation is low because, other than the very clever using-words-to-abuse-my-brain angle... it's a typing game. It's hard for me to label that innovative. Fun and hilarious? Yes! Innovative... hm.

There should really be a rating for polish, you guys would always score off the charts. Lots of fun to play. I type really fast and this makes fast typing very aggravating. Thankfully, the words don't reset when you mess up. Unfortunately, the words don't let you reset until you're done typing some asinine way to spell something :)
Really great idea. These games piss me off beyond belief even when the words are correctly spelled. Great polish though.

Whoa, very nice graphics and a funny concept. I can feel my typing skills declining already!

Cute, very well polished with graphics. Concept not particularly original but you did something interesting with it with the mispellings! Liked the music, too.

Also do you have a link to the source? I'd like to see how the letter stuff is handled.
Bach?

Nothing exceptionally new, although overall polish (visual\audio presentation) deserves lots of kudos :).
i was ready to criticize the misspell in "Knogregate" till I played it... hehe
great idea! Congratulations!!

Taht wsa hadrer thna epxected.
Ha ha, very good! Typing words incorrectly is hard. Very polished.
Basically every time I died it was because I accidentally hit the wrong letter and got locked into a slow guy way in the back. Still, totally entertaining for a short game. Great art and catchy music.

Great idea! Excellent polish. I did have distinguishing the letters U/V/Y occasionally due to the font, but I still enjoyed the game.

Loved it and will be sharing it. Super polished and really felt like it messed with my brain.
That was a blast!

frustrating... sometimes I'd mistype the first letter of one word but be looking a different word I was trying to type.

The game is very good! I most things i like is the misspelled words, the graphics and the mood of the game! Very good job!

Haha, I loved it. Brilliantly cruel. :D
Hah, this turned out to be way more frustrating than I thought it would be. Haha, good job!

amazing music (you can't go wrong with Bach), amazing humor, graphics, concept, everything...
Except for one thing... I didn't quite feel the theme on it. It's quite polished though, and fun as hell.

I really don't know what to say that hasn't already been said. I think that if anything I would have liked the ability to type at enemies farther back in the ranks. It seemed like I wasn't able to target some enemies that were in the rear ranks when I tried to do so.

Extremely frustrating!

Hilarious. Does what it does really well with all the polish.
Got to give you 5 out of 5 on fun, graphics and audio. Even better on post jam version.

I really loved this entry! It was a creative idea, with great graphics, music and gameplay. It was a lot of fun, and one of the best games I've played in the jam.
Great game guys! I really enjoyed it :)

Nice work! I got to 3'06". Then I accidentally typed the first letter of a *huge* word that had *just* started coming on screen, and I couldn't find a way to cancel it so I had to watch as the advancing army had a field day with my base.
It's kind of like a bizarro Revenge of the Titans typing game. =) Pretty polished. The only thing I'd change would be to add a way to cancel a word so you could switch to a closer one.
mildmojo: We actually addressed the issue you brought up in the Kongregate verson; you can now hit Backspace to cancel out of a word.

The best game yet, it was really, really fun!!!!
Awesome music and graphics too, great job guys!
Excellent! Interestingly, I found the words much easier to type if I could come up with pronunciations for them. If I could say them in my head, I could type them without thinking about them too much (some of them I could get without even looking at the spelling after I had worked out a pronunciation).

I'm terrible at these types of games. Terrific art and music though.

Wow, really enjoyed it! Being a non-english speaker made it easier to type the words, but I can feel how hard this has to be for a native speaker :) Thanks!

You don't have an idea how fun and hard this is when your natural language is not english. I'm sure some parts of my brain melted. Good game!

Best description ever.(the game is fun too)
This was really fun. I could see this turning into an fun typing game that kids play to learn how to type. It's interesting how accustomed to certain letter combinations my hands are. I cannot type a Q without typing a U. Great job.

Awesome game, fair tricky tho, doesnt exactly ease into it (maybe I need to practice typing more)
Either way, the graphics are spot on and the 8bit audio is good to listen to, the music really adds to the pace. A nice challenge

Aahh! It's so fun! :)
Nice :) however while using invreted wdors was a funny idea and adds a little tweak to the game, it is actually quite frustrating to play compared to the classic genre.
Nice work!
Love the idea of typing "slightly wrong" words. The Bach-remix works quite nice aswell.

Ahhh my head is allways trying to type the correct words hehe. Nice entry, great polush overall, pretty fun too with the steep difficulty curve.

Nice Jam entry, liked the idea and execution. Was quite hard, especially since the words were jumbled. I was trying to figure out if there was a story, but made it even harder trying to figure out what it was saying :D

Amusing, got difficult very very quickly but I like the presentation and the novelty of mispelling words.
