I think it is a good game to practise the writing speed and maybe someone can write faster after playing this game... ;D
Reviews for "The Essay"
Why include punctuation and breaks if ...
If the point of the game is to type what's on the screen at a high rate of speed, then including things like commas and quotation marks that "just disappear" instead of being required, breaks the required hand-eye coordination. Same thing with paragraph breaks. If you're going to have periods, most experienced typists would expect the next letter to be capitalized as well.
The concept is fun for those of us that like speed typing games, but showing things you're supposed to type (but not really) forces a player to waste time. Takes away from the logic and the fun.
I also agree with the others about experiencing an unresponsive keyboard :(
Cool
Would be very addictive, but seriously, man, fix the flow of the writing.
It would just break at a random point of my writing. Also, SPACE isn't working well...
...If it worked great, I would've loved to play it for a long time, that's for sure. :)
Addictive, but...
I do have the 3:14 time that is sitting at the top (for the moment, I keep trying to beat it), I do have to say that the keyboard can be very unresponsive at times- totally breaks the flow of what I was typing in the first place. It pretty much becomes to where you have to get a feel for just how fast you can type without it stopping your text, and sit there- otherwise I think in general the scores would be a lot higher (and my score for the game would probably be 9/10 or 10).
Otherwise, very addictive. I keep trying to push higher so I can finish the essay. It's a good read, too.
its alright, passes the time lol...
anyone else find themselfs hittin backspace everytime they made a mistake? ha :/ i defo did, alot! lol
