Type the text as fast you can, but don't type all of the text that appears before you! Your goal is to keep your computer alive as long as possible, but it will fight you at every step, with weird character, shifting text and other issues.

April 21st: Added web version
April 30th: Fixed bug with restarting in game computer on web version
You really met the criteria with the game. The death noise is really loud and the glitches get really creative as you progress. It does get quite repetitive though (I do however, love the memes).
This was really fun to play! Easy to understand and pick up, and the glitches and obstacles were really creative. I'd turn the audio down a little - the game over sound was kind of abrasive, but other than that this is a nice, simple entry. Good job!
This was really creative, never expected anyone to submit a typing game for this jam, but you really nailed it. The only problem I found with the game was that the first time I lost the computer's screen just became blank and I had to reload the page again to replay. Other than that, good job!
The game reminded me of typing practice sessions back in old days. The game gave me some chills with the glitches. I don't know if that was your intention to give some mysterious mood. I enjoyed your game.
Got a laugh out of this! Glitches really threw me off sometimes, especially when it was on something capitalized, but it made it a good twist! really enjoyed it
I love clever typing games, so this one was a blast. I loved the mechanics of the text corrupting over time. It would be really neat if you come up with more cool glitches!
I really liked the extra layer that the corruption adds on top of a traditional typing game. It adds a good sense of panic as you struggle to interpret or remember what the text was going to be.
Our games have similar naming conventions, so that's a plus. :D
@avi The screen turning off is the game over state. You have to press the button on the computer tower to restart the game. Sorry if that isn't completely clear, maybe with more time I would have made the button glow or something. There was a bug where the restart wouldn't work on fullscreen for the web version which I just fixed. I'll be sure to try out that other typing game!

Here's a few pointers:
* Gameplay was great, as a touch typist it's always a great challenge to play games like this. Reminds me of Type of the dead!
* I like the humour in the game, it was well executed!
* Such a great idea too, I haven't seen any other typing games in the jam so far :)
Hope you guys do the next jam!
BTW there was one more typing game made by @kythehuman that I've played this jam: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/all-caps-episode-1-the-incident-at-puppy-canyon
Thought you guys might be interested in checking it out :)
