Poly Typo
This is a typing game, you need a keyboard and it only works on desktop ... just type fast enough to keep going deeper and deeper!
I've tried to give all the stats I can for your typing:
* Hits: all the keys you pressed that were hit into the current word
* Missed: every key you pressed and was not expected
* Score: is calculated from the length of each completed word
* Words: current completed words vs total words generated (may are still comming from the tunnel)
If a word get passed you it's a fail ... you can fail 3 times and you are done :P
Hope you enjoy it!!

I have done this one with no game engine, plain javascript drawing on HTML5 canvas using RXjs. Started form an html5 boilerplate and compiled with parcel.
* Graphics are native drawn regular polygons (no external assets).
* I've made a short track of music using Chrome MusicLab
* Sounds fx with jsfx

Nice game. Programmers can nail this game, but others may struggle.
Nice idea and implementation.

That was a great typing game. I'm always impressed by people who do stuff without engines. I didn't make it super far but that was a neat time

Hey this is pretty neeat and needs more love!! pretty impressive for a compo entry..
I'm not the best at this kind of games but I tried my best I swear.. It's a solid entry, music and art are very good, mechanics work like a charm and its fun!!. The only complaint I may have is that after a while it made me a bit dizzy, but don't take my word I'm pretty weak in my stomach haha. Thanks for making it and congrats!!

Nice idea, solid submission! It doesn't feel too hard, which is great for a jam game. The only basic change I would do is adding some animation when you hit the word (like showing the full word in green and then fade both the word and the ring/figure).
BTW, please go and rate other submissions to get more ratings/feedback, you still have a few days to go and it's definitely doable.
Congrats!

Nice polished presentation and surprisingly fun to play. Could do with a best score or something.
Solid compo entry.

I'm preatty impressed to read that this game is made with just javascript :-) I like this type of challenges, I've made some try and this is my best result:
The only thing I would change is that you can see the next word only after completing (or failing) the previous... This is a problem after a while when words are too close... Especially for non native English speaker like me, it's easy to fail to write some complex word on the first try. And at a certain point failing a word means that you'll fail the next one too (unless it's a very simple or used word).
Overall a nice entry, congratulations!

Overall a littlebit to less input i´d say, maybe if u ever think about making it bigger try to add more around the "tunnel".
Still i realy liked your game, good work mate!
