Fantastic, absolutely justified win
Great job! You killed it!
i was holding back tears while trying to type as fast as I p9ossibly could :(((( solid game
This is an absolute acheivement for such a short time. Your work is incredible, this was definitely the best game I've played in this jam.

Even though GMTK doesn't provide an official overall score, most teams put effort into every category. We made this ranking by averaging each game's category scores so everyone can easily compare their overall performance.
this game is TOO TUFF! FIVE STARS!!!
Wow, wasn't excepting such a cool concept xD The art is amazing, the fact you play is coach is novel, and having the challenge in itself tell the story is really well though off ! Congrats on the game, it was - so - fun ! :)
The only thing that oculd be improved i think is not to have to press space at the end. Each time I saw a punctuation mark, I tried to type it and didn't understand why it didn't work, it might be adding friction when none is necessary :)
5s across the board. This was a stellar entry. The mechanic was already super compelling but the humour and story really kept me going and wanting to find out how it ended. A novella in it’s own right!
But I swear if I start typing mum as mom from now on lol.
what a great game!!! i love the art direction, and the narrative makes it so funny!! love the typing mechanic, get back out there!
Not sure what I was expecting going into this game, but I was not expecting one of my favourite narratives of the Jam so far. Very charming and very fun!
10/10
this is what I call a prefect jam entry
the art and animation the simple background the sound and music, THE STORY the way you told it
I was hooked from the start to the end
LOVED IT
I'm a terrible typer.... yet this game is very fun!
Strong sence of style and for a typing game a very fun way to do a main mechanic.
Well done!
this is probably my favorite game this game jam i really got fired up to do as much words as i can to get back up, i really liked the idea of actually doing a story and instead of fighting stronger people you fight things that are hard in real life thats really a great idea. WOW!
this is one of my favorite games in the jam ive rated so far, I think this could be one of Marks favorites for the jam too. really enjoyed the story progression and was a little nervous about my typing speed. but im glad you werent to ruthless about typing mistakes decreasing the time
This was a ton of fun! Incredibly polished and whimsical game. The story was simple but really effective, and surprised me with every twist. Game made me smile :) great game!
Fun, I liked the story twists!
I was so focused on the fasst typing that didnt see all those plot twists coming. Very silly very good, 10/10
Ok wow I was not expecting this. I played the first few levels in hard mode to flex (really nice touch to have adjustable difficulty btw!), but then the storytelling hooked me up so bad I had to revert back to normal.
Also it was really hard, I’m just seeking an excuse. But the storytelling did grab me by the feels. It’s silly I love it.
Damn. I don’t know what to say, it’s a great game? Looks nice, sounds nice, feels nice, the concept is nice, I had fun and will recommend it to my teammates right away.
Very interesting concept, and the sounds are great!
Really enjoyed this game. It put my spelling to the test and I was invested in the characters! Great job.
