Beneath the surface, is it worth it all?

Really hard but creative, i like it. Is this supposed to be eternal recurrence?

Thanks for checking out my entry - a lot of this game's metaphor emerged during development. Amongst other things, the thought of it mimicking eternal recurrence did cross my mind!

Fun to play, the frantic gameplay mixes well with the simple but loaded words. I like the general feeling of the game.

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! Frantic gameplay + an easy to understand message was exactly what I was going for with this game :)

Had problems with starting the game but I like the idea. Nice job.

Was it issues loading the game to start with? I've noticed that with Unity web :( Thanks for checking it out though!

Wow. very cool. Great concept and great implementation. The theme is definitely subtle, but in there, which works really well with the message I got from the game.The audio was pleasant. Though I was being hurt, the sound was too soothing, haha. It would work better for when you spelled things right. Because there was no feedback, when I rushed to spell another word, I wouldn't see that I misspelled the one I just typed. Other than that, very well done!

Wow, I like both the idea and its implementation. One of these things you keep thinking about after finishing it.

Thanks for checking out my game guys, I'm glad you liked it!

Feedback on typing a word right would be a good idea.

I've always been a sucker for typing games ><. I liked it very much, but know that I am biased!

Neat idea. Kind of reminded me of Notch's game about life and death, but I liked the learning aspect of it.

Nice game.But hard. Different difficulty levels would be cool.

@nesis play wouldn't work for some reason until I clicked few times on the text underneath the title. But today it works flawlessly so I assume it was some problems on my end

@nonentheless Thanks for giving it another try. As far as I can tell, it's an issue with Unity web player in some browsers - you need to resize the browser, which somehow refreshes the player and gets it to start receiving input and start updating the game properly.

I feel my touch skills increase by the second I play this game. very hard though, or maybe my typing is just really slow ;)

Mmm, I definitely need to add different difficulties. Drop the speed words fall at, and make them appear less frequently. Thanks for playing and for the feedback!

Innovative game, if this is what you feel is beneath the surface of life, then that's kinda cynical. :P But I think that was kinda the premise for the game.

Interesting take on the theme, very thought-provoking.

Really deep game... especially as it becomes more and more frantic balancing different things as you get older. Enjoyed this one, kudos. I lived to 74, not bad.
