Ohh, fellow typing game!! :-D I like the avalanche idea, it's so fun but also quite stressful haha. The font is a bit difficult to read. Maybe try increasing the size, or using a more legible font.
Very fun game! I enjoyed it alot. Only feedback: The letters are way to small for my dumb brain to read.
A very good concept for a game. I found it very difficult (I am terrible at word games). But the premise was good. I would maybe slow down the falling letters just a little bit for those of us that are bad :-)
I enjoyed playing, although it was a bit overwhelming at times. Cool concept!
Definitely a unique typing game.
I found it really fun, definitely one of the most original games I’ve played. It’s a great game, congratulations!! By the way, I’m super curious about how the game checks whether a word actually exists or not.
It checks against a text file with a bunch of English words, some words might be missing and some probably shouldn't be valid but it seems to be mostly fine for this game.
Thanks for playing!
Ah, yes, that’s a great way to do it. Thank you so much for solving my doubt! :)
i liked game still didnt felt it was made on theme
Thanks for playing! can you elaborate on how it doesn't fit the theme? You assemble the available letters into valid words for as long as you can.
Really enjoyed this! I can see this being used by someone to improve their typing speed or vocab.... I liked that you had an option to change the song (completing words while listening to little star felt like being a kid again)... I feel adding a circle(or highlighting) around the alphabet that we have typed and then exploding them once the word is complete will greatly improve the visuals
Yeah I agree there could definitely be more "juice" / feedback added to visuals, might do that at some point. Thanks for the feedback and for playing!
Really well done! The music is immersive and the concept is great fun. Very good work!
I liked the game! I did notice that it didn't fit entirely on my screen causing me to have to use the scroll bars to get to things like "restart" and "menu." I did find myself typing words out and kind of assuming that the letters where in the area falling, but that was still fun!
