Nice work, simple game but very polished. Looks good!

WOW! This is suuuper cool. Super simple but such a addicting little loop - gfx is super clean too.

Really well done!

Really well done. I have been looking for typing games to play to practice with my new split keyboard so this is perfect 😆 Loved the simple concept that is really well executed.

I love this one so much!! Fun, simple typing game but it fits the prompt well. The music adds to the tension, and the SFX are also really well done.

As a full time developer in a big tech company for last 6 years ... Yep. This is how it goes.

The gamplay, the graphics, the audio. So lovely. So consistent.

Pure goodness.

Full marks from me except in the following areas:

Audio - needs a tapping, missed character, and warning-getting-close-to-overtime/dying SFXs.

Fun - when the papers start piling on, the dark words in the background get too jumbled up and trying to distinguish the foreground/stroked letters gets more annoying than fun.  I get the approach because it gives the player more stress and increases the likelihood of missing characters but it feels just bad when that happens.

Overall, wonderful job!

It seems some people had difficulty reading the words. Maybe I was already to used to it, that I didn't notice. And yeah I might have missed some SFX places. It was already difficult finding good SFX for the current ones. Thanks for the feedback!

Nice game, visuals and music are great. Gameplay wise... Well, it's a typing game! It's nice, but it does get stale fast for me. The office theme and words are a nice touch. I do wish there was a bit more to this though... It reminded me of papers please so I kinda expected some papers please mechanics to this.

Solid entry!

Developer

Yeah, that's what I thought too, but couldn't think of anything doable within the game jam. The best I could do was to add the days. At the beginning it was really just endless typing...

Totally understandable! And that doesn't take away from the fact that this is very well executed and I do like it. The days do add a more to the game too.

I personally love typing tests where I can improve my typing speed and accuracy and this is perfect implementation. Lovely graphics and lots of fun. Very original idea. 

You can add some typing statistics to the game, so the player can see their WPM

Awesome take on a typing game! The game loop and graphics are simple but I think that's what makes good games, especially since you've executed it very well and that makes it really fun to play.

I can see myself getting addicted to this tbh.

Nice graphics and I like the use of a irl scenario for the theme. Gameplay-wise,  Wish the word you needed to type was highlighted more though, since it can get a mess and you get confused, but I assume it was intentionla. Nice work!

Nice typing game. For those who try to learn typing without looking on keyboard

Submitted(+1)

Graphics - perfect for what they are

Sound - quirky and really adds to the stress as it speeds up, loved it

Gameplay - ludicrously fun for it literally just being typing words. Something about the letters filling up as you type them combined with the increasing pace makes this quite fun

I gave this one a perfect score! Great game

This was a nice surprise as a fan of typing games. Fun and stressful game :)

Submitted(+1)

this was a lot more fun than i thought it would be and brought me back to typing and computer classes from middle school. i think the ui and art style are great! very simple but very detailed, even just the choice of dull color is nice. i think it really fits the theme with each passing level you really get overloaded with words and it genuinely stressed me out at first. loved it super fun and cute!!

Love the artsyle the music everything about this is perfect!

Submitted(+1)

I love this one! I adore the minimalistic pixel art, the music fits so perfectly, and such a creative way to utilize a typing game AND the theme!

Submitted(+1)

This is such a fun game. I love the sound design that stresses you out even more!

Submitted(+1)

very fun and addictive I like it
