The difficulty increase is fun and the repair mechanic is a smart addition. Good speed typing game.

Nice job. I had a lot of fun playing this one and the difficulty increase at the end felt just right. I'm actually a big fan of the repair mechanic as well so that I didn't have to start all over, but still had to work to continue when I had a mistype in the middle. It was a lot of fun trying to reach Lightspeed!
I did have to look from the word back down to what I had typed to figure out when there was a typo which was frustrating. Some feedback with a noise or red color could be helpful on typos. Potentially even turning the letters in the word different colors as you typed/they moved across the screen so players only need to focus on the words?

Speed Trap - Mini Jam EditionLightspeed achieved! it took 108 words (724) letters to achive lightspeed
I really appreciate that this game used real words, I've played typing games before where it's not and so here I can recognise a word and then use my normal typing ability to type that word. Although then I do screw up if it's a word that has an IE in or EI because I always mess those up 😂
Cool entry!
Very cool game! It had some sound issues for me. There was a very loud high pitched sound sometimes.

Fairy self-checkoutCool concept! The addition of the scrambled word is a nice way of switching up the gameplay, good job!

Blight - Jam VersionWow, this was fun AND educational. Not only as a typing exercise but as a spelling exercise also for a non-native speaker. Especially trying to make sense of some of the repair words. :D I'm pleased with myself that I got the ship to launch on my second try.

Prison Breakthe game was very fun and a neat take on the limitation. I'm pretty sure you used a dictionary for your words and you forgot to clear any mature words because I got "sex" lol

laser swirlGreat Job!
But the game was fun up until the repair part, I felt like there was no way for me to realize I had made a mistake or was on the right path and ended up resulting in me googling the answer mid-game so that I could continue playing :(.

Lighten Speed Through The DarkI got about two thirds of the way but then the repair gave me 'rbyu' and refused to accept ruby :( Fun game through, the difficulty curve ramps up nicely and the feedback is great!
