WORD SHOT

Share Collapse

Author Comments

You have few seconds to spell out the words appearing on a black board. Use all your attention and fast fingers to shoot letters in correct order to win in this mind battle.


Use a keyboard or a mouse to type the words correctly. In "Challenge" mode you have only few seconds per word. In "Relax" mode there is no rush, but each next level requires more words to complete. Moreover, a complexity of the words increases from level to level. How far will you go?


The current state of the game is a WiP. The latest 0.4.11 update comes with: two new game types (Word Learning and Word Guessing), 16! vocabularies (combinations of English, French, Italian, Russian languages), some UI improvements.

Good for a typing game - you can't really ask for much from one. I would say the spacing on the longer words makes it a little harder to see the word as a whole and slows me down personally but that's nitpicky. The only other thing was the sudden numbers and symbols caught me off guard and made me pretty much immediately lose, lol... and for some reason it wouldn't let me input space with the space bar, has anyone else had that problem?

Thanks for the game!

@crookthediscordant thanks for playing the game! There should not be any sudden numbers showing up during the game session and it's not required to input space in the game. The words contain only letters.

Nice job. Liked it.

The lettering gets too wide/big once you get to level six onwards so it might be a good idea to reduce the size the letters.

undrev responds:

@WatchRyder Good point!

Not bad... Hope to see the finished product on here at some point...

Noticed 3 misspelled words: Bussiness, Electrisity, and Cabage...
They should be spelled: Business, Electricity, and Cabbage...

undrev responds:

Good catch, @GhettoJoe5215 It is fixed in the recent update. Thanks!

Good for typewriting practices.

Not a bad game. It's pretty good for typing practice. There's a pretty good variety of words, although it does repeat some of them several times. It's just not super interesting at the moment, which is fair enough since it is in early alpha. I got to level 7, I think, before I got bored.

(You didn't say whether you wanted advice or not, so I apologize if you did not want any.)

Like some of the others said, music would help, and/or maybe sound effects when you type a correct letter. Also, it might be more engaging if there was more than just needing to complete more words with each higher level. Like, if the words got longer or harder as you got further in. It could also be fun if there was a shorter time limit and getting words correct lengthened it, or something. Some form of penalty for typing incorrectly could also work, but I feel like that would just be stressful and frustrating.

That's all just my opinion, of course.

(Edit for version 0.2.12)

Not sure how to do this since it won't let me review twice, apologies for the extra-long review.

This was really neat though! I definitely enjoyed it with the changes; I played all the way through the game with minimal boredom. I liked the music and the sound effects. The new stages, increasing difficulty, and more words was a lot of fun. At first, I thought that the change of making the timer for each individual word rather than a set of them (I think that was changed) made it a little low-stakes; I didn't really feel like I was at risk of running out of time. But as I got further and the words got longer, I appreciated the extra time. Also, I did notice that, as the words got longer, it became a bit difficult to read them. I think it was the spacing between each letter that was getting to me.

I also liked the added screens for options, etc. I was a little bit confused by the game select page at first, as it doesn't seem to be possible to change any settings there yet, but I look forward to seeing later versions of the game where there are more options.

Definitely improved from the initial version. I look forward to seeing where it goes from here!

@Elara-Moon advices, suggestions and any other feedback are highly appreciated! Thank you for your ideas! Sound is on the way, the rest is under understanding/thinking how to implement the things better.
