I really like this game overall! The graphics and sound were both great, and they gave the game both a lot of charm and an inviting atmosphere. I am not generally a big fan of typing games, but your game was enjoyable compared to other typing experiences. While I agree with other comments that typing words would likely make the game a bit fairer, I believe the main change should be the time that it takes a new letter to appear after a wrong letter press; if I miss a letter in the late game, I usually die before the next letter appears. Otherwise, I had a good time with your game! Great job!

Really cool! I suck at typing games though so after about 15 attempts and not getting more than about 10 letters in, I  had to throw in the towel. The pixel art look is beautiful, though I have to say it can be really difficult to discern what letters I have to type in such a short amount of time since the pixelated letters are obviously stylized, which makes things tough to read.

Visuals are great, especially the thumbnail. Timer was a little too fast for me to play and still focus on what was happening on-screen. Did not understand connection to theme. Are these all supposed to be keys used in shortcuts (ctrl + w) ?

I think you guys have a real knack for art! This was mentioned previously but at it is right now, pressing the buttons needs some work? Thomas mentioned two great suggestions that I completely agree with. Keep it up and you got yourself a fun little game!

Also, any reason why the duck's name is Pochita?

Thank you for comment! I really glad that you like my art style! What about duck, i just gave him first name that came to my mind :>

Really love the concept. And agree that words, or a look-ahead, would make this more enjoyable. Right now, it is pretty hard.

Many, many times I pressed the wrong key. Simply because the pixel font made it hard to distinguish some of them: C/G O/Q
And then for some reason I lost 2 hearts. Because the following letter immediately registered.

Any encouragement, like 5-in-a-row, would also be appreciated.


PS: Love the art.

Hehe- cute art and incredibly catchy tune :D

And the pizza chase element definitely gave me motivation to get through it.

I did find the ‘randomness’ of the letters made it especially hard to get any speed up. I think it could be a bit more intuitive if it was words you were typing out, or you could get a look-ahead of the keys to come!

Thank you for feedback! 

I really glad that you have fun playing my game 

As for your suggestion, it's really amazing idea

If i had did that mechanics, game would have been obviously better!
