I love games like this! However, its really hard to play because stuff was overlapping. Also since all of the letters are the same color, its really easy to get lost in what I was trying to type.

This is neat! The way the words move makes the game a bit disorienting, but that's a good thing! Otherwise It'd be too easy. You said this was "semi-complete". You should expand this idea, keep going, and see where the game goes!

Sweet! Innovative approach to a basic typing game, minimalistic style makes the it all quite elegant. Keep crossing those genres!

Love the concept!

Nice idea and good realization!

Found out something fun-when you could guess the entire word before it actually comes up on screen, you can complete it offscreen XD.
While overlapping words could sometimes make it virtually impossible (had a group overlapping all the way to the bottom, had no way to try and work out what needed to be written or what letters were with what word), which you are aware of based on your left to do list which is cool and will be nice to see fixed, this was a neat idea and was fun to play with, a nice take on the 'spell to win' kind of games. Well done with your entry :).

I was amused by the inclusion of slang words like "YUP" and possibly "ZOD" (what is "zod"?). ...Not to mention the mysterious "GUBND" (in your last screenshot).

The overlapping is at times too difficult to sort out but it's fun to try.

seraphki 2014-12-10 17:26

Hahahaha - I believe GUBND is the word END overlapping the word GUY. The word list really needs some preening, some words that seem like a great idea after so many hour of no sleep aren't really all that great. Also, a bunch of the letters later in the alphabet don't have a full set.

Thanks everyone for all the kind words!

Pretty fun! I wish you had more time to add to it, I like this particular approach to the typing game genre.

mrlarryli 2014-12-10 22:30

It's a cool concept. Once the to-do list is done, it could definitely be a sort of "teach typing" program. I did feel it was too slow to register my key presses. I had to type slow enough for it to acknowledge that I press it before I can hit the next key.

Hard but it's fun!Great job!

voider 2014-12-11 03:11

Good idea. Nice game, a little bit Hard but fun! Good job

rottenmage 2014-12-11 05:37

Cool! I hope you get to finish up the rest of the game. Good job!

kate-kligman 2014-12-14 22:01

That was fun! I like the retro blasting aspect. Hope you have the time to continue with this, it's a good typing game.

darthone 2014-12-21 23:06

I like the concept, but not a huge fan of the overlapping of the letters

gameattack 2014-12-21 23:52

I love the idea! It could be a fun and educational game which is really rare. My suggestion if I may: Not only to add word, but to classify them by level of difficulty of spelling so you can have variety of stages.

The words overlapping got frustrating at times. Some of the words were unexpected ("yolo" haha) but I had fun with it. Seems like a very straightforward and simple typing game. You could do a lot more with the graphics. Good job overall!

solifuge 2014-12-22 04:03

I like this concept! Typing out words going in different directions--so that I was effectively reading backwards, or in a squiggle--actually pushed the envelope some and increased the challenge over your average typing game. I think that once you fix the overlapping and add some gnarly tunes, this could be quite fun! Thank you for the game!

d3garcia 2014-12-22 04:52

Excellent game!!

mohammad 2014-12-22 05:11

Its okay, if the gameplay was expanded abit I would've liked it more.

okkolobr 2014-12-22 08:55

What a nice typing training game :) Type to shoot, brilliant idea !

madmaw 2014-12-24 10:43

This has potential, typing games are always a winner in my book
