Well, good concept. Smooth graphics :)

Sound overlaps on continuing runs.

Quite a bit of fun, and as always it's nice to see a different kind of genre represented from the usual ones. I loved the graphics and the sense of humor in particular!

This would be a great game for learning to type faster! It would have longer appeal if there were more names/words.

Very simple, but pretty fun. The graphics aren't bad: they fulfil their purpose.

My record: 9.

Good concept with a funny little story. I like the setup for the UI, using the environment pieces to keep track of the typed words and score. I wish there were more stages with harder words though. Fun game, good job!

I like the concept and the art style! I found the ten second aspect of it more frustrating than fun, especially since there were periods where no new astronauts would show up for a couple of seconds. Also the overlapping rocket roar between games gets pretty annoying :-)

Very polished and fun game. My only complaint is the two or three seconds it takes for the cosmonauts to show up.

An interesting idea and fast typing games are often pretty fun especially if you know touch typing. Somehow the astronaut spawn rate was very varying as sometimes there was only one guy during the whole 10 second period and sometimes a bunch of them. My maximum score was 10 which is pretty low, but retries didn't often give the opportunity to breach it. Also the overlapping sounds seemed were a bit annoying and probably made the whole game run slowly on my machine (making the window smaller helped though). I had to refresh/reopen it after every round to prevent excessive sound overlapping.

Fun and short. I got till 6. The sound effects were a bit ear-piercing though.

nice effort but would be nice if there was more to it

A nice typing game. The typing sound could've been different, though.
