This is a damn good typing game. I like that it makes you think before you type and you're not just mindlessly typing what you see which is neat take on the genre. Very fun for all of the wordcels out there

soooooooo fun

this is actually gonna be one of those games im actually gonna enjoy.
good job lightcat :D

This a good game prices are expensive tho

I kinda like the game, pretty neat with a really cool aesthetic going on here. Only suggestions are related to the letter pairs and shop.
At first I thought any word containing the listed letters would suffice (eg. pair being sw, 'sword' would work, 'words' would work) but found that was not the case. I think it would be cool if we could craft words with the letters in any order as that would give some additional flexibility. I also found the pairs would repeat somewhat frequently which isn't bad but I ended up re-using words from session to session.
For the shop - I played through 3-4 games and had enough credit to purchase the time upgrade. Pricing on the other items seems a little high as I'd need to play a dozen or more times to unlock some of the upgrades. I feel like some of the gameplay upgrades would be fun to play around with but I don't know if I'll be sticking around with the dozen or so times needed to unlock them. Maybe to keep the grind going have some cosmetics available to unlock for the higher prices (shop cat as the typing mascot / different color backgrounds / etc)?

Overall pretty neat game!

Hey, thanks for the feedback! I'm going to try to get an update out soon with all that in mind. Your idea of "I think it would be cool if we could craft words with the letters in any order as that would give some additional flexibility." Is honestly an amazing idea, I definitely will be adding that in the next update. I will be lowering the prices of items as well, I always did think they were a little expensive, and this gave me confirmation. Thanks for your feedback dude! I appreciate you! :)

Glad you enjoyed the game!
