Love the idea! I'm a fan of Typing Of The Dead so this is right up my alley. Plus I like that some letters like W and M require a lil experimentation to figure out which they were thanks to the spinning. I will say that difficulty probably ramps up a bit too quickly. It felt like after only a few letters gravity got turned up and letters started circling the blue hole without going in. I'm wondering if that game detects multiple input. Like if W, A and T are out should be I mashing "WAT" all at once, or is the trick to be typing W A T really quick but one letter at a time? Either would be good but it was unclear what was having an effect once the physics took over with a lot of letters flying about. But yeah super good stuff and love that you managed to get difficulties - even if normal was plenty for me. I was also wondering about using keyboard for the main menu too?

I鈥檓 glad you liked it 馃檶馃徎 I know some letters like m and w look similar but I found out that some people find it frustrating so Idk if I should remove this characteristic. if you press more keys at the exact same time it鈥檚 going to detect only one input, but the game runs at 60 fps, so it鈥檚 kinda impossible you press keys in the same moment. I鈥檓 going add keyboard input to the main menu, I forgot to add it 馃槄 thanks for the feedback

I really like ambiguous letters like M / W as a gameplay feature. But maybe a good compromise would be they only show up on hard difficulty or higher?

It's difficult but i place this in the category of "games I'm bad at but i recognize thats because I suck, not the game having a problem"  I have huge respect for how inventive the concept is, it's a little like a typing game but more minimal plus being a physics game, so that combination I hardly ever meet-with.

So I was most pleased.

Gave you a solid rating and an itch follow, if you like the thing(s) on my page(s), consider doing the same.

Cheers!

This game is really pretty and i think the concept is really clever. However I found it really difficult, also found that some letters looking like other letters in the font quite frustrating. I think with a bit of polish this game could really have some legs!

thank youu! I will change the font to avoid letters that look too similar, thanks for the feedback
