Nice concept, it's a pity that you only type 1 letter each time. I hoped it would be full words.
But still well made!

I always value good teaching games, like typing. I loved Mario Teaches Typing in the 90s. This is simple, well executed, enjoyable and gives a dynamic challenge. Well done. Not the best, but pretty good, and could be a hit in school at a starter typing class - if they still have those - (we learned to type correctly and fast at school in late 90s early 2000s).

I liked seeing the different backdrops as speed picks up. Wish the letters progressed into words at some point though. Nice work!

Not the best typing game i have played, but interesting. If you would expand it ill just note some mistakes and not finished things that makes gameplay a bit strange
1) Game reads text, not keys. I've started on another language and thought for 2 minutes what's wrong
2) Screen size cannot be changed so every second letter have spawned beyond the screen frames
3) Difficulty curve is broken. Game just is too... difficult you know. 
4) Typing just letters has no effect on player and makes game boring after 10-15 letters. I have waited for some words, but there is no words. It would be cool if after certain symbols there would appear short words, after another bunch of word there will appear longer words etc.
5) Player is too fast on 1000+ speed, sprites just through my screen

  • I love when the game uses the main menu as a tutorial

I've played this game for... a while. Cool idea, would require some things to look at, and maybe some mild music in the background, but overall, good game to practice typing!

Yeah I don't think anyone is beating that score...

Love the idea, lack of gamefeel and juice but with some polish and tweaks, it could really be great !

Very fun! I like typing games. The concept is nice, it’s well delivered and I like the game is truly endless until you decide you are done with it. I had a problem with the screen not showing everything, being cut, tho. I had to set the zoom to 125% on my browser to be able to play it properly.

Submitted

yeah.... this is very hard! Still a good game!

Submitted

Well, you've successfully gaslit me to think I can't touch type anymore  (T▽T) I'd play stuff like Typing of the Dead and think "Too easy..." then this with just letters my brain is like "What is a letter?" lmao

I had a lot of fun and I'm currently near the top of the leaderboard (I'll likely be overtaken and go into the void before the end of voting though lol) great job!

Submitted

Cool concept, and loved the parallax background art! Sometimes letters spawn off of the viewable screen, though.

Submitted

Nice! Another typing game :D.

I was expecting the keys appear as obects in the screen rather than appear and dissapear.

Submitted

That was fun! I got a good streak but then the game just gave me super fast letters. It gets hard really fast but it was still a lot of fun.  Good job!
