This game was so much fun to play last night in the bar! We ended up being like 5-10 people standing around the laptop and taking turns.

I thought that I knew where all the buttons are on my keyboard, but no - turns out only my fingers know.

I feel this is the game is the one that fits the theme the very best. Thanks for making it!

So stoked to hear the game was played in this fashion, really makes my day! Thank you for playing and sharing! 

Cheers

Cool idea, solid execution

It was fun to see how people used different ways to play and the varying results from that :D

Edit: really like the feedback and general feel of the game

Also, it's not so easy playing "right" side up since the words are reversed that way. Still a bit easier which is interesting.

Thank you so much! Yeah initially I didnt know whether to just flip the words or the keyboard, but in the end i thought flipping the laptop would more interesting! Thanks for playing!

Really makes me realize how much muscle memory typing is.

I would love getting better at this to throw it out as a party trick in the office during pair programming.

Lovely game! Theme nailed

Developer

Thank you! Would love to have played around with the difficulty a bit more, but OK with how it ended up. Struggling to get beyond 14 points though. 

Cheers!

Perfectly awesome! 

I never imagined a typing game could be this fun!

Not a gamejam without bugs! I was just informed that restarting the game with 'r' does not reset the difficulty. Bummer! The only way to reset down to easy four letter words at the beginning is to reset the game.
