Reviews for "The Essay"

Nice game!!!

The typing part is challenging and tests how fast you can type but in the middle i didn't look at the screen and typed a whole para only to find the controls got stuck. I tried a couple of times but i t wont move. I suggest u fix the lag otherwise the gamers will not have much of a challenge. Other than that, the experience was good. Keep it up

Original idea!

Everyone just gave you bad reviews cuz they're mad they can't make it past the first paragraph :)

However, I really think in today's world of flash, you could have juiced up the game with more material. Keystrokes got a bit non-responsive at times. The level of entertainment drops after a while and replay value is weak. I did find the challenge fun and creative however.

easy

heres how to do it just type like one sentence and the timer keeps going and you never lose

What?

I don't understand how to keep the essay above the line. Maybe some instructions on how to do that?

Buggy

I often found that it wouldn't register my keystrokes. Perhaps it's because I type too quickly, and whenever I built up some speed it would fail to register one and I'd get backlogged again. You should include punctuation in what you're required to type; I spent a lot of time hitting punctuation marks before realizing I didn't need to, but it can be helpful to slow a typist down some... particularly your heavy use of quotation marks. I, personally, find those the hardest.

Anyway, my biggest problem is with the inability to keep up with my fast typing. I don't know where it started failing; I know that I never got up to speed, so maybe it was at 80wpm it failed, or maybe it was 100, but I'm sure that I made the keystrokes, and it happened many times.
