Pretty fun, but needs a LOT of work.
It is very easily exploitable, that's on the top list of issues. Also, the speed increase goes FAR too fast. I type an average of 140gw/m, and... 1:30 is the best I can come up with.
Needs work. ^_^

game can't keep up.
This would be extremely fun, but for one problem. Once I really start getting on a roll and tying extremely fast, the game will simply not register that i pressed a key, causing me to continue typing and causing the letters to fill faster at no fault of my own.
smeh
this game has potential but it doesnt seem to pick up all my keystrokes. and something funny keps happening by the punctuations.
Needs some work
I like the concept but there were a few problems:
1. If you type too fast the game can't keep up with it and that makes it impossible to win. You need to type at you fastest speed to beat it and then the game doesn't pick up the key strokes.
2. The punctuation that is not typed is distracting and throws off your rythm.
3. A difficulty choice would have been great. Not everyone can type 140 WPM (or in the case of this game 225 WPM)
4. If was just too fast! Not even the fastest typer could beat this game.
That said if you work on it it has the potential to be a very fun and awesome game!
Good concept..
It's a nice challenge for those of us who can type out there. But I must say that the way that it doesn't pick up on you if you type too fast, or if you type one little error the whole thing locks up... not fun. Also the way that spaces aren't registered and then it doesn't pick up on punctuation? Very confusing.
Otherwise good concept, just needs some refining.
