Pretty fun troughs you for a bit of a loop though to play a typing game where order doesn't matter. I appreciate the nonsense words what with the eldritch horror and all. Sounds are pretty good to. I did find it to be hard at times to realize if I should be typing a capital or not but that is largely my own fault as you used a pretty clear serif font.

Felt like I was doing a roll call for a Spanish class.

Great sound design, and a fun little game. I can't decide if I like the nonsense words or not, but throwing in capital letters after a while was a nice touch

Fun game that let me test my typing skills. I wasn't expecting, then appreciated it, when I started seeing capital letters. And, I certainly wasn't expecting to see $!@#&* symbols... those things are *still* the bane of my everyday typing life! Overall, I had a fun time playing your game. Great job!

Probably best typing simulator I ever seen =) Love audio and visual, hopefully it can become something bigger some day!

Fun typing game. I really like how you put in capital letters and other symbols, it really amps the difficulty up. Nice work!

This is a really interesting twist on the classic notion of a "typing game". I kind of wish I knew where the end was or how close I was to it, though.

I kind of wish you had the humor category on because I would have easily rated it a five, but thankfully there were other things that nailed the categories too! I loved the art and sound design, and it made typing really fun and engaging. I could imagine how it could be enhanced with something like text-to-speak working on each finished phrase or when a word appears. Great style too!

I'm a sucker for typing games so had to play :) Pretty fun; I think strong points for me are fun, graphics, and audio. I like how as I get further, difficulty increases; e.g. capital letters are introduced. I wonder whether the intention is to type the letters in order; as it is, I can type the letters in any order, so I can keyboard bash and pass the levels. Good job overall!

Nice Lovecraftian typing game! I imagine that special symbols are stand-ins for unpronounceable sounds in incantations I'm chanting. Never got to 30 points :/ Were all the proper words Latin? :thinking:

@angela-he Not enforcing typing order seems intended based on the description :)

I like how simple this game was, I immediately know how to play. Well done :)

Cool game! Love the eyes in the background, their gazes darting around give a really sinister feel :)

Nice game! The concept maybe pretty simple, but the game is really fun! Getting random caPiTaL letters in the words really messed with me, but what really destroyed me was getting symbols that can't be written on my non-english keyboard haha. Before I switched to the english layout I already lost - got to 22 points - but the game is still great, and that's just a minority problem. Good job making it :).
