How does your game fit the theme?
As you play the game and increase your score, the keys start to slowly reverse roles. By the time you finish the game, a good chunk of your keys will no longer be working as intended. This creates a double "Roles Reversed" effect, because while the keys are very literally reversing roles (A types B, B types A, etc.), the genre of typing games is also reversing roles from a muscle memory exercise to the exact opposite, you have to fight your instincts to type correctly in order to succeed.

Typing games can be fun, and this one manages to be quite difficult as well, after a few key swaps. I only scored 34, but I'm pretty satisfied with that score. Very unique gameplay, and honestly this has potential to not only improve your writing skills but also improve your brain health (maybe, I'm no scientist :D)
you fool. you only made me better at typing so am winning the next gmtk game jam >:). jokes aside this game is really fun the swapping mechanic is good and the music is fitting . Good job!
Alright im not trying to brag, but...
I felt so proud of this :') love typing games so this was a real treat!!! Great job on your submission <3
I loved this game. Had a lot of fun, it is a simple, yet very clever idea. Congrats!
Good execution on the keyboard swapping idea!
This is tough, but a really great challenge! It gets really chaotic with a lot of rules.
Great concept! I enjoyed it :) I would have enjoyed having access to an undo/backspace button so that a single typo wasn't a full failure.
This was a really cool game! After a score of 39 I quit lol
My typing skills already suck and this does not help. Great game tho and awesome concept
My typing skills broke down after 31 score, definitely challenging to play and fun!
it definitely takes a little bit of luck! if you get your vowels swapped early you might be in for a rough time
Incredibly hard but very fun!
Really challenging! 5 letter swaps almost made me punch my screen. I was planning to beat the developer's high score but it might be costly as I might buy a new monitor. 🤣
So difficult ! but very polished game and very original concept !
That was stupidly fun! Great job. Simple idea and executed well. Maybe could have been more aesthetically pleasing but im just nit picking at that point.
This was great, it broke my brain, and I was reduced to hunt and pecking on my keyboard in short order.
That's hard but challenging. I love it!
JOD! THAT WAS HARS. I love it.
Fun idea, well executed. The art could maybe be more "interesting", but this works!
Nu nihua sebe
I want to see people play this competitively, I just don't want to be one of them ahahahaha
