Good concept, but fails.
It can't keep up with my speed... Need to find a way to fix that somehow.

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.
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!
Really challenging for people who can't type.
It really needs a difficultly choice.
Gameplay was too short because the difficulty was too high.
I guess graphics were all right. (because i like 8-bit)
There were ALOT of things you could've added.
Like backgrounds, text font, text colour, SFX, song selection, even a tutorial or challenge mode.
Good game for those who CAN type fast.
Its OK
The game is a very good concept and could do very well in the future. But it is too hard for alot of people. A dificulty choice would be appreciated.
All in all a very funny story that needs improvement
