I played it and had a lot of fun thinking it was just a simple typing game - type as fast as you can without mistakes, etc. The typing noises are incredibly satisfying, the noises the little minions make is great (actually everything about the sound and little effects are great, the colours of the letters, the artwork, all of it) It makes me want to try to program a typing game myself! Then I came and read the comments and realized there was actually much more to the game than I thought! So I reread the description on the page and gave it another go! It's very challenging and fun, but if it hadn't been for the comments I think the real gameplay would have been lost on me. Not sure how you could make it more obvious - perhaps bigger icons for the thumbs up and down? Maybe the first few waves, the correct pairing (yes/sure with green icon - die with red icon) could be highlighted and then it goes back to just gray from then on. I realize you only had 3 days to do this though. It's REALLY good, I love it, great job!

Thank you!
Yes, it is hard to translate that part to the player, we intended to have a tutorial phase, but ended up with no time left (we actually had to start working on it halfway through so about 1.5 days due to evryone’s schedules)
I’m thinking of adding a “Just type” mode where you can just type everywords in a classical Typing game genre, but it really needs a better introduction for this intended gameplay.
