Nice simple idea have here. :)

That's OK, @BradleySmith - I'm sure some game engines force you to publish with ads on their site? The worst part was having to be forced to watch a pre-roll ad before seeing any part of the game.

Thanks!

That's what I love. A good concept via an full exploited theme! You have my vote!

Quite clean too.

Sorry so bare bones - my first Ludum Dare entry and I started on Sunday afternoon (too busy watching Notch).

My high score is 41.

Simple but working... also the first inventive use of the theme I've seen :D

Very simple, but fun and surprisingly challenging at some points. My only complaint is that the single-word timer would often kick me to the next word while I was typing in a word that had stumped me for a second, which often meant I typed the wrong letters into that following word. Other than that, I thought it was very well executed and a very clever use of the theme.

I love the take on the theme in this one and had more fun than I expected working my way through the words. Nice job.

@SnoringFrog - Good point. I fixed that usability bug by ignoring any false letters typed in the first 100ms after the new word is shown (sometimes you'll get lucky and your type-ahead letter will be correct and you'll still get credit).

Actually quite challenging, with the short amount of time given. Really unique take on the theme.
