Oh, hello o/ Thanks, I focused on the feedback and stats, motivating for higher speeds/accuracy and self-improvement in typing fundamentals. In contrast, you spent your time creating an actual game with actual gameplay where thinking is increasingly more important than typing - I’m enlightened to see such different approaches to typing games, it motivates me to come up with something more original next time :)
I’m glad the minimalism worked so well, I was kinda afraid of people being lost without any context or even graphics, but it seems the freedom of interpretation was well received.
Cheers, type on!

HAHA, I originally intended to throw the curses at a particular enemy who would throw some back in turn in a fighting game manner, but as our graphic artist was busy this jam, I had to do without graphics, so I just went with total minimalism and thus accidentally created this freedom for players to interpret the insults in various ways with full plausible deniability for me as dev - I would obviously never dare to insult my kind players… Or at least, you can’t prove it :-p
I’m amused that players like you chose to interpret the curses as personal attacks that fueled them to do better - that’s really awesome :) As the other reviewer put it - “I seem to respond well to a firm hand” - I’ll keep that in mind for future games, MUHEHEHEHEHEHE
Thanks for playing!
Hey, you’re the guy who obliterated my dev top score by 46 % with insane 111 WPM :D
Thanks for your kind words, I’m glad I could play another typing game, they’re such a rare breed! While I focused on the details you thankfully noticed and appreciated, you spent your time more on the actual gameplay and game world, it’s interesting for me to compare these approaches.
I plan to create some more typing games in the future, hope to see you around - cheers!

Glad you like it!
When I was tryharding Flawless, I got into a solid rage when I made a single mistake in the last curse several times in a row… but I got it eventually, I just had to slow down few WPM and concentrate. What I’m saying is it’s surprisingly hard to write without errors. Actually, I haven’t seen anyone else submit a Flawless score so far.

Awesome! I’ve spent quite some effort on the typing effects (for example, individual letter color is chosen based on time since last type) so I’m glad you appreciated them as well as the curses chosen and that you enjoyed the game as a whole even though it’s just… well, a glorified WPM counter :) Cheers!
