How does your game fit the theme?
You're missing your control keys, so you're literally "out of control". Furthermore, the rest of the keys are out of control and you need to keep them in check.

Very hard with my different keyboard, but, it's funny seeing all those keys exploding :D
Nice! The only problem I had with it was the F keys, if you removed the need for pressing function keys it would be a perfect game!
Cool game, the visuals were really nice and fit the game well, the only problem I ran into was with the f1 key which opens a new tab for me and a few others, but overall great game!
Original and fits the theme, but not really fun. Sorry =(
Great idea, lots of fun! However, with a different keyboard layout it's impossible. Just using the letter and number keys would have been enough, in my opinion.
Loved this. Great job.
pressing f1 opened google chrome help page. 10/10 haha Great game!
Very nice, I like how things escalate. The main bother was the function keys, as I needed to hold down Fn for them to work and F1 would open a new tab with every press. Perhaps I should have just let that one go immediately.
I was like hummm I'll wait until there 1 or 2 keys and smash them to cheese the score . but you got that covered .. Very nice game :)
I was wondering when I'd see a creative use of the keyboard for this theme. Great job!
I love this. I've always loved typing games. The clicking and popping is really nice. Only thing I would change is to not include function keys. Great game, thanks for making it!
Starts out slow, but once it's speeds up its pretty gratifying to try to keep up. Also, the animation/sound of the keys popping off is oddly satisfying!
Cool game! we had a similar idea, I was worried my interpretation was too out there 5+5!
At first, I thought this was going to be pretty dull. But actually, it gets quite hectic once things speed up. The stroke of genius in this game is having the keys fly off and clatter all over the place, making it harder and harder to see what's going on as everything spirals out of control. However, as others have mentioned, pressing the function keys causes all kinds of stuff to happen, and they shouldn't be included in the game. Nice work!
I absolutely agree. A mistake on my part, I excluded several function keys, but should've just excluded all of them.
I'm going to update the game to exclude the function keys when the voting is over. Thanks for your feedback!
Playing this game in the browser comes with the disadvantage that you trigger random functionality while pressing certain keys. Still original concept (and that's what's all about)
Very interesting indeed.
Fun and stressful in a very good way, even with a non US keyboard.
Visuals are astounding, well made :)
Couldn't really play it since my keyboard is not US, and also is a laptop, so the keys didn't match properly (especially the F# keys).
But it was fun :)
this game is so much fun at first I thought it was easy but it is harder than I thought but that is what makes it fun and out of control I think it was a cool idea and I loved it
I can't play the game since the keys don't line up
Oh dang yeah I only made it for qwerty keyboards. Didn't think about all the other different keyboards. Sorry :(
