Wow! Where was this game when I was learning to type?! Great idea.

This is actually a pretty fun idea! I've always love speed typing, and learning it with the usual software may be rather boring. This, on the other hand, could make it fun for someone!
A side note, though: I'm writing on a nordic layout keyboard and couldn't press the ";" key. Just a minor nitpick. :)

Game works well! The graphics could use some work to make the game more appealing. Audio was nice.

Sometimes the targets would move between keys, not sure what I could do about that. My high score is 5100 :), it was pretty challenging playing this game using a keyboard with no printed characters on it!
Maybe it would be easier if the keys were aligned as they are on actual keyboards (not in straight lines).
Great job on the game, love the original mechanic.

innovative control and smart idea for the space panic key. More unconventional control than unconventional weapon but who cares ? :)

very innovative gameplay. I'm pretty decent at typing and still found a challenge in this game. Good job!

I've never seen game like this so this is new for me. Really good mood in this game. Pretty fun to. The graphics are...ok not good but it's ok. Great idea ^^

It's a good idea. the controls are really innovative. An interesting amelioration would be that it actually recognize the fact that I don't have an qwerty keyboard but a bépo one, but It's probably not the kind of detail one solve in 48h

Very nice! Really enjoy this kind of game (also made a typing game..) Interesting and challenging mechanic :)

Really clever take on the theme! Possibly my favorite thing I've seen. Some visual polish would be nice, and it gets pretty difficult pretty fast, but that's kind of okay for an LD game, where everyone is playing in short bursts. Great work! I could see this being an even more complex typing-tutor.

Nice idea, I enjoyed it.



The graphics could be improved, but hey, fun is all that matters.
