The game is fun and gets challenging but I think the different "levels" (top, middle, bottom rows) of men could be displayed a bit better so it's easier to know which one to press! Other than that, it's an interesting concept.

This is an excellent entry! It's a really creative concept which translates beautifully into a simple, yet rewarding arcade game. The gameplay is engaging: little enemies crawl across your keyboard on screen, and you have to "squash" them by pressing the real keys on your keyboard. Over the time I played it, I developed a few strats like double-hitting enemies with two keys. There's also a key cooldown which prevents spam to a reasonable degree. This shows that the game is well thought-out and really fits the theme.

I would say that something that could be improved slightly is polish. Once you run out of lives, pressing play again does not replenish your lives, preventing you from playing again unless you refresh the page. Otherwise this is a very solid game!

The game is fun, but the gameplay could be better or have some variation.

Really fun game, but I think maybe it could have had something to stop players from just spamming the keyboard to win.

The game is cute. The concept is unique. But the gameplay is lacking. I think the game has a lot of promises.
