I got to about score 414. Pressing enter messes it up (I just saw that in the instructions..)

Cool though!

472 for me.

I actually think it is well-polished, just not much of a game.

True, it's pretty much just a typing test with a couple basic game elements thrown in, and with a bit of a 'gamey' retro feel to it. There's a lot more I'd liked to have done with it, but didn't have time for.

482! Like you said, fairly simple but it does the job and thats respectable. I enjoyed it!

Really satisfying getting words right. Simple/Clean design. Awesome work.

Spotline 2013-08-27 12:08

Clean, but not very fun imo :(

Score: 875, WPM: 87. Not bad, I guess? ;)

...I'll not post my WPM so as to keep hidden the depths of my shame.

Anyhoo, typing games are usually a lot of fun and this is no exception. Really felt polished, too. Well done!

Great art and sound. Could have maybe used a little music, possible getting more complex as the level increases. I had a few instances of getting the same word twice, and I think it would be better if that was prevented somehow. Good thematic interpretation.

The presentation is really simple though effective! Really good fun.

You would probably get a more accurate WPM result by collecting each rounds WPM and then averaging them all together. Interesting take on the theme, well done.

Nice little game. not very innovative, but well executed.

mboaj 2013-08-31 08:55

nice game. I like the look and feel. Same as Steve I messed up one game because I clicked the return key

very well made, and good choice of graphics.

Score of 627, WPM of 62 for me. The game was made very difficult by the fact that I couldn't press the spacebar in between words - in fact, it actually caused my forearm to ache halfway through. Also, if I were you I wouldn't have put in words which differ between localizations - it took a lot of effort for me to write "colorful" when I'm used to writing "colourful"!

609 points, 60 wpm. Nice and simple game. Like the sound effects.

624 score, 62 wpm. It's a simple concept but actually a lot of fun! The subtle feedback cues really help, such as the blip sound effect and the scaling of the input box when a word is correct. It's a shame the spacebar couldn't be ignored, I really want to type spaces between the words.

Woo 522! I don't know if that is very good or not. Nice typing game.
