Really really had fun, although the shakeyness after each word was a little bit much, and the font was a little hard to read. Really enjoyed it though!
played this at the national video game museum and couldn't leave it
This game is so good! I wasn't looking for a typing game but I'm so glad I downloaded this. So satisfying to play, and there's interesting variation in the bonus rounds. Nice!
Hello, nice game. Add russian language pls <3

Loved this game and cant wait for leaderboard mechanics and achievements Great job!
Really enjoyed this game! The synthwave and aesthetics were very fitting, as well as many of the words. The Miami words were very... Miami.
when is a new update coming out?
Really liked the game, good continuation :>>
A really fun game! My only suggestion would be to add a few more font options as the current one makes it a little hard to quickly identify which letter I'm looking at.
I downloaded the new version but when i was going to start the level 1 (miami) the game game me an error message and closed itself. PLS HELP!!!
I LOVE THIS GAME! having said that i like to think of myself as a intermediate typer but I haven't mastered typing without looking at the keyboard. I've been looking for a game exactly like this. It's probably designed purposely to do this but it's very...busy and even though I did my very best, I CANNOT get past the first level :( I wish there was a relaxed option. Font was difficult to read at times with things flying around. It'll definitely have you feeling AWAKE after playing. Guess I need to brush up on my typing and I'll come back and try again later. Thank you! What a pleasure
great presentation with a nice assortment of words, easy and hard. i liked the minigames mixed in. the level backgrounds felt samey; something more to set them more apart visually would be cool. all in all, good ol typing fun!
this is really really really fun!!! really nice to see a simple typing game that is not made exclusively for school aged kids or is super super boring. keep up the radical work!!! i did have a bug where the sound didnt work on the initial boot up, but a quick restart fixed it. im not sure how to replicate it and its a easy fix on the user end so not a big deal but i though i should say something anyways just incase
I always love me a good typing game. In terms of game feel, this game is fantastic. Every press is satisfying, crunchy and fun. Navigating the menu is also a joy.
The game paces itself well and overall I really liked the game. My only point of frustration is a side-effect of the font used. While it does give a certain sense of A E S T H E T H I C S to the game, it also makes it a bit difficult to tell O and D apart, specially when under pressure and a lot of special effects. Not sure about the solution on this one, maybe edit the font slightly to allow better differentiation between them?
I don't know.
By the way, I got an S! I'm usually pretty bad at most games, but I think I shine in typing challenges. Thanks for the experience.
I REALLY Love This Game! It Has a Nice a e s t h e t i c and I Really Would Suggest That People Download This if they have too much confidence because this game is legit difficult, and i think it made me more humble of my typing skills hh. Only Thing I Don't Like About it, Would Be How Hard The Words Tend to Be to Read Because The Individual Letters Move Up and Down. Other Than That; Love This Game to Bits, and I Can't Wait For When/if it Gets Updated!
Your game is fantastic! Thank you so much!
Ok, so I was trying the game and got to the asteroids minigame, and now I may have a problem:
Really addictive (Notice the bugged highscore please)
Negatives: Some letters tend to be confused (X and K, A and R, etc)
Really fun game. Good work
