Using Google Chrome on Mac (latest stable release) and the game is on the upper-left corner with tons of white (or should I say blue) space. Not sure if it's intentional, but it's a tad bit off for playing a game.

Yeah, the game is designed to be small, but the page was just put up in a last minute rush. :) I'll put up a better page for it later.
Slightly better page up for now :)
My own scores so far: Easy: 1244, Hard: 563. Hard mode is a great example of one of those games that someone can make but still be terrible at. :)
Pretty solid. Innovation was the best part of it, never played anything quite like this.
I like it, it's quite fun but I always forgot the space hehehe.
Quite innovative, and nice way to apply the theme!
Fun innovative typing game. Hard mode is hard, but I will try again after playing many other LD games and thus having a fine grasp of what 10 seconds is.
Really interesting idea, it was harder than I thought to type those letters, it might just be that I suck at typing, or that I'm only good at typing words with muscle memory. Cool idea :D
Never seen anything quite like it. Refreshing. Nice work. :)
Great work! Fun and challenging. The theme is conveyed very well.
Wow, trance inducing! A nice simple concept, and definitely takes a lot of concentration to do well at...
Like it! Scored 1022 points.
Really cool, interesting idea especially in hard mode where the player's perception of time is tested. Got a little too hard during the later levels but it was still enjoyable. Nice one!
I really like the idea, and the take on the theme. If you wanted to grow this into something bigger with more mechanics appearing as you go along, I can definitely see some great potential for it. Great execution!
965 Points haha. I've never actually seen this kind of game before and it was actually really addictive to my suprise :0. Good stuff man!
I havent played a game like this at all before, I enjoyed it :)
1032 points on easy.
Nice little typing game.
Quite original gameplay, stands out in the whole LD.
Hard mode is really hard here!
This is a really interesting game. I haven't actually seen very many timing games yet.
I do think that a score should be visible while playing. Without it it's hard to determine what the best course of action is. Is it always better to type, for example, or should I only type as much as I need to heal? A visible score would help give some feedback to the player. I also don't know if this was just my machine or not, but the timing felt off. I'd press and release the space key with about a half to a quarter second left, and it'd tell me I lost. Perhaps some issue with frame rates?
Thanks for the detailed feedback :) Level progress is based purely on score - 100 points equals one level - so the blue experience bar is also a score indicator of sorts. I felt it was better not to display a complete numeric score during the game as the constantly changing numbers on screen could be distracting, especially in hard mode.
Generally it's always better to type as long as you don't miss space as a result of trying too hard. :) You score more points for typing depending on how much health you have left, with the maximum bonus being when you already have full health.
Which losing message did it display? If it said you ran out of health, then that's expected - half a second is quite a long time in this game, in fact, by level 8, pressing half a second too early would result in death even if you had a full health bar. If, however, the game over message said that you missed the 10 second mark despite pressing space before it, then there might be a bug somewhere.

Thanks for that :) The tutorial was a little bit rushed and could have been a bit clearer in places, though I'm glad I at least put a basic tutorial in or nobody would understand how to play at all.
