That's a very nice take on the typing game genre. Pleasant and non-distracting music and some amusing sentences to work through.
963 ft @ 65 WPM.
Nice one.
Cool game.
Its simple but a fun experience.
I absolutely love the art. Its gorgeous!
And the music is cool too.
Nice Job!
Fun typing game!
I love typing games, so I probably played about ten times. Both the music and the bird graphic itself were calming.
I love a good typing game! I had 98.63 % accuracy, 95 WPM, and the distance flown was 1388 ft! The music and art are both soothing which was very nice, although the way I was typing I was making the poor bird flap so fast lol. Great job!
Charming, with a lovely background. I appreciate that the set of sentences to type is different each time. I also really like the karaoke-style indicator that lets you know where you are while typing.
The time cutoff felt a bit arbitrary, and I was always surprised when the game abruptly ended. Instead, I felt like the player should have a certain number of lives, which are reduced each time an error is made, or something in that vein.
Definitely could have been a more smooth transition, agree with you there . Thanks for the nice comment and the play through :).
What a fun game! The art is so lovely :). I'll definetly come back to this if i ever decide to learn how to type properly ;)
It's a fun and simple game, nothing groundbreaking but well executed. Special mention to the little birdie following the letters you type, that was very cute!
Great idea! But dont you think there should be restart button while game is going? So would be better. But game is good! Good job!
Sure could use a restart button, thanks for checking it out!
I was expecting Peter Griffin singing like a maniac but was hit with a calming and relaxing way to test my typing skills! (and discovered that i need to improve it…)
Nice job!
Please, try out my game too!
Really great choice of words etc - showed me how much a bad typist I really am! had a few issues where it would stop and not let me enter the letter and I just had to wait for the game over! but good entry and great job!
This was a pretty solid game for its type, I enjoyed the sentences you used :)
