How does your game fit the theme?
The game is built around a countdown timer — players must type words to defuse a bomb before time runs out. The entire gameplay loop revolves around racing against the clock as it counts down. Higher difficulties give less time, increasing the pressure.

This is so frustrating but so awesome! Super fun haha. Made me question my ability to type accurately.

I really enjoyed that! I got a high score of 3250 on ORAS mode! I touch type a lot but, of course, that does usually open myself up to a miss-press typo, so I was intrigued as to how well I'd do. 

It seems like, when you make an error, and you get to the end of the list (like 25/25) it says it fails to defuse. Is that supposed to happen? Cause when I got every word right without fail it seemed to just say "You defused the bomb" no matter what. I couldn't tell why that was. Cause then the "0/X" goes up to a higher number and keeps the time. So you're better off just restarting the level and going for a perfect run than to keep going?

I may be missing something there, because I guess if you get one wrong, and then go to the "0/X+2" stage after it, you could technically earn more points maybe?

It could also be that it just sometimes doesn't defuse and sometimes does! Either way, it was a super unique and fun experience! Thanks for making it!

Thank you so much for playing!! 

Regarding your question:

"It seems like, when you make an error, and you get to the end of the list (like 25/25), it says it fails to defuse. Is that supposed to happen?"

Yes! That's intentional. If you make even one mistake, there's a random chance that the bomb will either be successfully defused or fail, forcing you to try again.You can restart the game if you want, but if you keep playing despite making an error, you can still earn more points. Every correctly typed word gives you points, and some words can even award an additional 5 bonus points. So it's still possible to beat your high score even if you make a few mistakes.

Just be careful—too many errors will start reducing your score.

That's so cool! I'm glad it was intentional and I really love that design, to be honest! Like you said it CAN get you more points, but not to the point where you can abuse it. Additionally, if you try just restart when you make a mistake it may not get you as much points either! I love that. Funny how, because I touch type so whenever I got a letter wrong, I had typed three or four before my muscle memory caught up with my brain!

Would be hilarious to use this to correct commonly made spelling mistakes, lol!  Make people choose between typing "their" and "there"  for a sentence and half of the players would blow themselves up immediately.  I'm also "embarrassed" by how many times I got that exact word wrong (and I *still* misspelled it leaving this comment!)

Developer

thank you for playing my game!! 

LOL, that's actually a great idea! I was thinking about adding commonly confused words like their, there, and they're in a future...

Well my word that i failed five times was CAT, then again the music got faster and i kept hitting a first. 

That was some fun. Simple games just great, easy to get and play. Thank you for this experience.
Expanding for more words. Level difficulty was good. Audio was good.

This was a fun typing game with some words I don't think I've ever typed before. Also apparently I can't type "spontaneous" without messing up at least five times. I'm not sure if it's endless or not, I got to 33 required words in oras difficulty before I lost. I really like how lower time means you need to type faster to keep up, which makes you make more errors. Very well designed!

thank you so much for the wonderful feedback!!!
